[ADMINISTRIVIA: I always get nervous when we make lists of "best" programs,
since it tends to be exclusionary. I think it would be a great idea, though,
for us to put together a list of "favorite" detective [removed] would
introduce others to your personal favorites, without claiming one program to
be "better" than another.  --cfs3]

Subject:  Shanghai Radio Broadcasts

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to obtain further information about an English-language radio
program that aired in Shanghai in 1939.

It was called China Journal Travellogues and aired Wednesday evenings at
9:30PM over the 700 kilocycle station XMHC. A Mr WVD White was the host.

I'm also interested in any information about other English-language
Shanghai-based programs dating from the mid to late 1930s.

(I know this is rather a long shot. ;-)

tia,
Amanda

        I just finished listening to the OTR version of "It's A Wonderful
Life" with Jimmy Stewart.
In the movie version, George Bailey took some fallen petals from a rose his
daughter brought
home from school.  In the radio version, however, it was a small bell.  Was
this done for the
benefit of the radio audience, or was this how it was originally written in
the script?

As always,

Kenneth Clarke

Subject:  December issue of RADIO RECALL

The current issue of RADIO RECALL in PDF format has been emailed to
subscribers who chose that method; hard-copies will be mailed out to
the rest in about 10-12 days.

Our front-page piece is an authoritative radio log (1922-2003) of
Dickens' "Christmas Carol"  compiled by that dedicated actor and
researcher, Craig Wichman, which includes a listing of every
presentation of that classic program. Another well-researched, and
welcome, article comes from audio expert, Jerry Haendiges, who
refutes in detail the allegations of fading audio files, as trumpeted
in that recent released report from the Library of Congress.

Jim Cox, a prolific and popular author, who is never too busy to
praise another writer's work, reviews "Radio's Morning Show
Personalities" by Philip A. Lieberman, recently re-released by
McFarland in paperback. Two obituaries are in this issue: Thomas
DeLong, OTR author and historian, as well as Tippy Stringer, the
widow of both Chet Huntley and Bill Conrad. Mark Anderson, a retired
librarian in Erie, PA, recounts for our readers his recent trip to
Austria and what he found out about Nazi broadcasting at the Museum
of Technology in Vienna.

All this, plus Letters to the Editor, a Christmas poem and cartoon,
and the details of the earliest sound recording (that preceded
Edison's invention) created by Frenchman, Edouard-Leon de Martinville.

Subject:  Where are they?

If I may suggest a role call please.

If you held a script, had a speaking part (paid or unpaid) on a program that
qualifies as OTR, will you please answer with a brief "resume" of your
credits.

You are a major part of what this discussion is all about and, while I have
been very blessed to hear from some of you, I wonder if I am hearing from
all of you who may be a part of the list.

If you are feeling a bit shy, answer off-list if you like.  I promise not to
tell.

[ADMINISTRIVIA: This is an interesting idea, but I need to mention that
anyone who isn't interested in participating doesn't need to - this isn't a
test or requirement. Also, if you are a member of this rather exclusive club
and would rather not expose your real email address, contact me privately at
listmaster@[removed] and I'll set up an [removed] reflector address so
you can post to the Digest without displaying your real address.

Also, remember there are folks here who may not have participated in pre-1962
radio who have done extensive performance and voice work since (waves to
Michael C. Gwynne as but one example, the only person I know of who has
performed the roles of Superman and The Shadow on the same day) who are
welcomed to join in, too.  --cfs3]

Subject:  Jim Cox statement

Jim Cox remarked:

Not only do authors rely on such materials, these would be exceedingly welcomed by 
certain permanent data repositories as well as the libraries of OTR clubs.  I'm not suggesting that 
individuals possessing sole copies should give them up, but what a satisfying feeling to duplicate 
them for preservation and passing them on to sources indicating to you in advance that your materials 
would be welcomed.  This could be one of the valuable legacies you personally leave to the hobby.  

I second the motion. Last year someone had water leakage in the basement where they retained original
radio scripts and hundreds (I never physically counted due to the awful smell of the mold) of the 
radio scripts had to be tossed into dumpsters. Literally. I had boxes of the damaged goods at my house
and at my expense I photocopied as many as I could that were not too far damaged that I could, at the 
very least, copy at Staples. The ones that were so bad the pages stuck to themselves and became solid
as a rock or peeled with gummy substance in between the pages and colored due to the ink rubbing off
ended up in the garbage. There was nothing I could do about those. The copies I did manage to made were 
sent back to the original owner so at the very least about 80 of the damaged hundreds were saved.

But anyone who values a collection (especially with original materials) should at the very least 
themselves make an effort to scan a digital copy and make backups of the CDs or flashdrives. 
If it is the cost factor or time factor against you, there are people who have the time and money 
to do it for free.

It's not about posting stuff on the web for all to see. It's not about someone back-stabbing by 
making copies for sale behind the owner's back. It's about preservation, plain and simple. 

Even if one is not bragging about "I have something no one else has," there is absolutely no value 
to holding on to something that hasn't been preserved. After all, the next house fire or basement
flood or roof leaking can permanently destroy radio history -- and there is no forgiveness for 
ignorance. So if you have something that is an original and probably the only existing copy, 
consider doing some form of preservation.

Subject:  Help for a WSM program - Stories of the Shield?

Folks;

   A friend asked me today if I ever heard of a program that came out of WSM
in Nashville, TN called The Story of the Shield; probaly during the thirties
(possibly 1936?), and was possibly a show dramatizing or promoting the life
insurance company that owned the station.

   John Dunning's On the Air has no listing, and Jay Hickerson's Ultimate
History comes up dry as well (Jay only lists three shows coming out of WSM;
"American Ace Coffee Time," "Asher and Little Jimmy," and some little
short-run program called the "WSM Barn Dance/Grand Ole Opry"), which suggests
none of "The Story of the Shield" shows are known to exist.

   However, it would be great to get additional information on this program,
even if none of the dramas survived. Anyone ever heard of it? Does anyone
here have access to archives of local Nashville papers to see if there are
listings, or even possibly a review of or articles about the show? And, you
know I have to ask, anyone have any episodes sitting around in their
collection?

         Charlie
