Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

Bruce, I disagree that Stan Freburg is not OTR.  If you purge him from 
our board, you'd better remove all the other 50's shows.  After all, 
Freburg appeared on the Jack Benny radio program (see Freburg's 
autobiography).  
  Maybe your OTR ends with WWII, but mine does not. The CBS Mystery
Theater shows up here regularly, but it came much later than Freburg. 
Would you ban that too?
  As I sit here wondering why your complaint bothered me so much, I
realize it is because your note was bitter and sarcastic.  It rankles me
to see that attitude on this board.  We're a down-home friendly bunch!

The most complete log I've found of the Green Hornet is from Terry
Salomonson. P. O. Box 347, Howell, MI  48844-0347.  (517) 545-7577.  He has
also compiled a Lone Ranger Log and a Challange of the Yukon Log.

Again, apologies to the seasoned subscribers, but it is time for the
periodic OTR announcement to new visitors.

    There is a FAQ (list of frequently asked questions AND ANSWERS) for this
group.  The FAQ is available from any online FAQ repository.  Just search
for "OTR" or "Old Time Radio".  You can also get the FAQ from my WWW site.

     The FAQ contains answers to the most commonly-asked questions, like
"where can I get programs", "where can I hear OTR on the radio today", "does
anybody sell or trade OTR", "are there OTR clubs", "who has a listing of a
program called 'x'"  etc. etc.

     If you have ONLY email access to the net, the FAQ is available by email
too.  (My unintelligent email daemon tends to ignore requests from sites
with WWW access)
  Send a message in exactly this format:
          To:  files@[removed]
          Subject: send [removed]
          (the body of the message is ignored)

There is also a plethora of pertinent pages produced by folks with WWW
access and OTR knowledge.  You can find links to most of them by checking my
page for starters.

I recently sent an order to the Sound Collectors Network
and yesterday my envelope was returned with the address
crossed out and a "Refused" "Return to Sender" stamped
on it.  Does anyone know if this company is still in
business?  The address I used was Suite 173, 121 Twenty Fourth

There was a question about Vic and Sade the other day
regarding a story in a book about how Rush came to
stay with the Gooks.

In the book THE SMALL HOUSE HALFWAY UP IN THE
NEXT BLOCK, edited by Mary Frances Rhymer, there is
a short story titled "The Family" that Mrs Rhymer found 
in her husband's archives.  It deals with how Vic got 
Rush to overcome his homesickness and stay with he 
and Sade.  It's very good.

Hello Everybody:

Okay, so I went to the Cincinnati convention and the "Ethel and 
Albert" recreations were hilarious. Naturally, I wanted to add more 
than the meager sample I already had to my [removed] I thought 
clean Vic and Sade tapes were rare!!!!

I have found 4 hours total in all the vendor catalogs that I normally 
do business with including two collector's clubs.  Is that all there 
is?  If anyone knows of a source for these shows, please let me know.

Thanks

Matthew Mark Drew

Subject: Thoughts on the OTR medium
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

OTR's weakness was that physical actions had to be described
that were simple moves on film and later on TV.
ie: "Lefty, look out the window."
Its strength was that a narrator or actor could describe
something that the imagination could run wild with.
Recall seeing a program on TV that you had first heard on
radio? What a letdown. None of the actors lived up to what
had been imagined. The sets were disappointing too. 
But I recall a twist on that in television. The first season
or two of Man From Uncle was in black and white. When they
went to color, so much money was involved with the cost of
sets that the plots went down hill [removed] just stopped watching.
It was sort of the difference between looking at a drawing
by a commercial artist versus an impressionist painting. The
latter never looks quite the same because the viewer must
fill in the details. That was true of both radio and black and
white movies and television.

LUCKY PUP 
     Children's 
FIRST TELECAST: August 23, 1948 
LAST TELECAST:   June 23,1951 
BROADCAST HISTORY: 
       Aug 1948-Sep 1948, CBS Mon/Wed/Fri Various times 
       Sep 1948-Sep 1950, CBS Mon-Fri 6:30-6:45 
       Jan 1949-Jun 1951, CBS Various half hours between 6:00-7:15 
HOSTESS: 
     Doris Brown 
PUPPETEERS: 
     Hope and Morey Bunin 
 
Lucky Pup was one of the more popular puppet shows on early television. It
was first previewed between 8:00 [removed] and 9:00 [removed] on two cosectutive
weeks in 1948 to let parents see what their children would have available
to them at an earlier hour, and then began a three-year run in the early
evening. 
    With the exception of hostess and narrator Doris Brown, all of the
characters on Lucky Pup were puppets. Lucky Pup was a little dog that had
inherited $5 million from a recently deceased circus queen. Foodini was the
magician who was trying to use his black arts to steal the treasure,
Pinhead was Foodini's dumb but friendly stooge, and Jolo was the resident
clown. All of the action took place in a circus setting. Gradually Foodini
and Pinhead came to dominate the stories, and Lucky Pup himself was seldom
seen. 
    The series ended in June 1951, when Doris Brown married and left
television. A charming modest woman, she later recalled of those early
days: "I can't honestly say I miss perfoming. I never was a real
professional at it; just enjoyed myself and often wondered why they ever
let me get away with it." The Bunins later returned with a spin-off series
called Foodini the Great. 
 
 
Does anyone out there still have those Foodini and Pinhead hand puppets
that were sold in toy stores during the run of the show?. 
 
I wish I still had mine.

Subject: Captain Midnight
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

I have posted the latest adventures of Captain Midnight and
Johnny Dollar to my web site ( [removed] ).

Let me explain what is occuring with the Captain Midnight:

It seems that my CM archives were a bit muddled. I had (in 
my own archives) several episodes out of order and placed 
them on the site in that order.  I know have that straightened
out. The latest is the true episode 7. The fallback episode is
the original episode 6 which I previously posted to the board.
It is back and episode 7 which has never been posted before is
there too.

All in all, the first six episodes were in correct sequence. Now
episode 7 is there. Eventually, you will hear the episode that 
has been there all last week again as it was the one out of order.

I apologise and hope all of this is as clear as mud! <g>

Happy [removed]
