    Subject:  This week in radio history 19-25 October

    10/19

    1937   "The freedom of the press is a flaming sword. Use it justly, hold
    it high, guard it well." The radio classic, Big Town, made its debut on
    CBS radio. Star reporters at the Illustrated Press, Steve Wilson and
    Lorelei Kilbourne, were played by Edward G. Robinson and Claire Trevor.
    Tell the Story was the theme song. Sponsors included Ironized Yeast
    tablets and Lifebuoy soap.

    10/20

    1930 - One of the most memorable of all radio shows, "The Adventures of
    Sherlock Holmes", was first heard on the NBC Red network. Its debut
    entry, "The Speckled Band", featured William Gillette in the role of the
    famous detective. Gillette introduced Holmes to New York audiences as
    early as 1899 ... on the stage, not the radio, of course.

    1932 - Journalist Robert Trout joined CBS. Trout became a household name
    to CBS listeners -- and they later became loyal viewers of Trout on CBS-TV.

    10/23

    1932 - Fred Allen made his radio debut. His wife, Portland Hoffa, joined
    him on the CBS radio broadcast. Allen's comedy-variety program was known
    as "The Linit Bath Club Revue". It then became "The Salad Bowl Revue",
    then, "The Sal Hapatica Revue", "The Hour of Smiles", "Town Hall
    Tonight", "The Texaco Star Theatre" and finally, someone with just a bit
    of sense, came up with "The Fred Allen Show". The comedic legend stayed
    on radio for 17 years.

    10/24

    1929   The Rudy Vallee Show was broadcast for the first time on NBC.
    Actually, the Rudy Vallee show had several different titles over the
    years,  all of which were referred to by the public as The Rudy Vallee
    Show.  Megaphone totin' Rudy and his Connecticut Yankees band were
    mainstays on  radio into the late 1940s.

    10/25

    1937   Stella Dallas made her debut on the NBC Red network. Stella hung
    out on NBC until 1955 with Anne Elstner in the title role for the entire
    run.  Stella Dallas was "A continuation on the air of the true life
    story of mother love and sacrifice, in which Stella saw her own beloved
    daughter, Laurel, marry into wealth and society, and realizing the
    difference in their tastes and worlds, went out of Laurel's life."

    [ADMINISTRIVIA: True, but this person is selling a copy on CD. Thanks to
    Larry Gassman, there is a MUCH better and more complete copy of the show
    posted to the Digest's Copy folder. If you can't remember how to get to it,
    gimme a yell.  --cfs3]
