    Subject:  Grits

    Gary Rothy, speaking of Wheatena, Ralston, and Cream of Wheat, asks,

>     I do like Cream of Wheat.  What's the difference between that and Grits?

    Grits is made from corn.

    Subject:  Young Dr. Malone

    In response to Gary's question:  Was it Sandy Becker who starred in that show?

    Yes, Sandy Becker did star as Jerry Malone in "Young Dr. Malone" from 1947
    on.  Before that, the good doctor was played by Alan Bunce, Carl Frank, and
    Charles Irving.

    Subject:  On A Note of Triumph and Cincy OTR Convention

    All,

     Is there a way that someone could get a hold of a copy of the "On A Note of
    Triumph "on DVD and possibly show it for the audience at the
    upcoming Cincy OTR convention? I sure it would be enjoyed by all.

    [ADMINISTRIVIA: Public display of a copyrighted work requires licensing
    arrangements with the rightsholder. I'm quite certain the $15 tax-deductable
    donation being requested by NomaFilms does _not_ convey rights of public
    display, which would put the convention at risk.

    Better we _all_ send them $15 to encourage them to continue making
    documentaries of radio greats. I know I did.  --cfs3]

    When I was a kid I sent to Captain Midnight for a  "Shake Up Mug.  I
    understand Little Orphan Annie offered this.  I sent  in 1943 or 44.  Was
    Orphan
    Annie's earlier or  when.

    Subject:  Question for the list

    My family and I are all OTR fans!
    For our church family camp, we do re-creations of OTR programs.
    This year we want to do "The White God", a 1939 program from "The
    Shadow".
    Questions:
            1.  Does anyone know where I can get the script?
            2.  Some help on sound effects:
                    a.  How did "The Shadow" filter his voice to get "The
    Shadow" effect?
                    b.  Any general helps on creating radio sound effects?
    The books I have purchased haven't been very helpful.
    I love the OTR digest!  Keep up the great contributions.

    Slightly [removed] I shall tie it all into OTR.

    Lately, some friends and I have been discussing the notorious episode of TV's
    "The Adventures of Superman" appropriately titled "Great Caesar's Ghost!"
    (based on a comic book story) in which Perry White is scheduled to be the star
    witness at the trial of some gangland kingpin; this  prompts the crime boss's
    minions to exploit Perry's notorious proclivity for uttering his "GCG!"
    catch-phrase  by appearing to him as the ghost of Julius Caesar (via some
    cheap theatrical pyrotechnics) all in the vain effort to have Perry declared
    mentally unfit to give testimony. A crank caller to radio's "The Bob Grant
    Show" often used the line "It is I, Great Caesar's Ghost. Why do you summon
    me, Perry White?"

    Anyway, since it has often been discussed here that many of the Superman
    conventions & situations had originated on the radio, I'd like to know if,
    indeed, the phrase "Great Caesar's Ghost!"  had its origins on radio or in the
    comic books. Maybe some  Supes historian, like the one in Texas whose
    specialty is "The Shadow" or the feller in the Washington DC area who doubles
    as "Mr. Dragnet," can shed some yellow sunlight on said topic.

    "Yours always in the ether!"
