In order to tidy everything up, here's what Jay Hickerson's "Ultimate
Guide" has to say about Ellery Queen.

The show ran off and on from 1939 to 1948, running on ABC, CBS and NBC at
one time or another. Hugh Marlowe, Carletin Young, Sidney Smith, Lawrence
Dobkin and Howard Culver. It began as a 60 minute show on CBS in 1939.
Changing to 30 minute format in February, 1940. Less than 20 shows are
available to collectors these days.

The Scarlet Pimpernel ran for 52 weeks on NBC from September, 1952 to
September 1953.  It starred Marius Goring as Sir Percy. All 52 shows are
currently available.

Hi, ALL! =20

Noticed Bob Lyzenga's post recently to the OTR list. I posted about this =
topic just a little while ago, I don't remember if it made it on or not. =
The CD is called "The Music of the LONE RANGER" and it is on the =
CINEDISC label. CDC 1019 is catalog no. It contains excellent new =
recordings of the music as heard in the serials, and the original music =
as arranged by Ben Bonnell and heard on the radio show - recorded in =
1940. I love this CD! I bought mine off the shelf at Planet Music.

I also recomend: The Mystery of the Masked Man's Music by Reginald Jones =
Jr, Scarecrow Press, 1987 I believe. Right now I can't place my hands on =
the 800 number, but call directory assistance 800-555-1212. The story =
behind the recording of the Lone Ranger music is fascinating. An =
invaluable look behind the scenes of one aspect of radio production in =
it's heyday. You probably won't believe all the things that went on and =
influenced the program that we love so [removed]

Also, if you're interested in the talk on the same topic given by Reg =
Jones at a conference of the Association of Recorded Sound Collections, =
contact Brenda Nelson-Strauss at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at =
strauss@[removed]   The CSO maintains the ARSC library of =
presentations as recorded at the annual conference. There are many =
titles that may be of interest to OTR collectors - disc preservation, =
restoration, magnetic recording. There have also been presentations by =
Richard Sears on V-Discs, the broadcast & recording industry and its =
infancy, and etc. I have found ARSC membership and publications very =
valuable.

Bill - I heard from Randy Minnehan that OTR is back on - haven't received
anything yet.  Is there something I'm supposed to be doing different to
receive?

According to Jay Hickerson's circulating programs log (unsolicited endorsement)
there were 52 shows broadcast and all are available.  It was produced in
London by Harry Allen Towers and syndicated in America and picked up by
NBC.
I have no information regarding the theme song.
