                                1985


First Show: 09-30-85                            Last Show: 12-23-85
Number Shows: 13                                Audition Show: none


Show Description:

The exploits of Doc Savage, "The Man of Bronze", first came to radio
in 1934 and ran into 1935.  There were 26 episodes of this syndicated
series, runing 15 minutes each.  Scripts were written by Lester Dent.
Doc again made an appearence in 1943 in another syndicated series.
Unfortunately, none of these early shows survived.

Doc, a wealthy, brilliant man, embarked on missions that frequently
dealt with the bazaar.  He battled his foes with high-tech tools of
the period (the 1930's) and his team of adventurers, each of whom
was a specialist in his field.

In 1985, Doc Savage was again heard over the airwaves via National
Public Radio.  This modern version kept the serial format of the
origional and played it as a period piece somewhere around the late
'30's to the early '40's.

A total of 13 shows were produced, consisting of seven episodes of
one serial, "Fear Cay" and six episodes of a second serial, "The
Thousand-Headed Man".  Each serial can stand alone.  Both are stereo.


List Comments:

As this is a modern series, it's not readily available from the
usual OTR vendors whose catalogs I use.  I found it listed only in
Gordon Payton's catalog.  It is out there, as I managed to obtain
the second series via a trade.

Dear OTR folks,
I am working on a research project looking into the way disabilities and
handicaps (congenital or as a result of war or old age) were treated on the
radio. I am looking for leads to some classics that aired or may have been
aired.  They are: The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Treasure Island, Frankenstein,
Of Human Bondage, Of Mice and Men, Secret Garden, A Christmas Carol and
perhaps [removed] Shaw's - Man and Superman.  Dates and series/show titles will be
most helpful. 

Also - if anyway can think of any programming having to do with eugenics,
genetics, blindness, deafness, mental illness, retardation, prosthesis,
disabled vets, rehabilitation, heredity, birth control, baby care, polio
(other crippling diseases too), Helen Keller, venereal disease (the results
of) and wheelchairs - this will be helpful too.  I appreciate any and all
responses.  

I know it's quite a lot to consider so,
it may be easier to write me directly at: alanset@[removed]  (Andy Lanset).
 Thank you all for your time and consideration.  Andy.

Thanks to Wilson Gilinsky for reviving a memory of an OTR performer I 
had forgotten.   Dr. Walter Damrosch (sp) frequently tied the "music 
of the Masters" to current "pop" tunes.  ie Stan Kenton's "Artistry in 
Rhythm", Theme,  from Debussy's "Daphnis and Chloe".
Incidently it was following a Damrosch show that George D, Haye, "The 
Solemn Old Judge" said, on Saturday December 10th 1927; "Friends, for 
the past hour we have been listening to music taken largely from 
Grand Opera, but from now on we will present 'The Grand Ole Opry'. It 
seems to fit our shindig, hoedown, barn dance or rookus."
That's how the longest continuously running Radio Program in the 
world first began.  Talk about OTR!

Today, listening to the Sam Spade episode, BATTLE OF BELVEDERE, I was 
surprised to hear the great British horror actor George Zucco playing 
a major role. Although no credits were given, Mr. Zucco's voice was 
unmistakable.  Does anyone know of other George Zucco radio 
performances?

I read not too long ago that John Dunning was coming out with a new book 
this fall or winter.  Does anyone know anything about this?  Will it be 
an update of TUNE IN YESTERDAY?

Thanks!

Someone mentioned in a recent digest that Jean Shepherd made
a suprise appearance on WFAN in New York last Saturday morning
at about 2:00am. I just happened to be listening at the time and was
able to hear the whole thing. He was on for about an hour (although
he seemed to get a little annoyed with the constant breaks). He mainly
spoke about baseball, but was also able to talk a little about his career
and other various life observations. there were a couple of other guests
on the show (who didn't speak very much, thank goodness), and Jean 
fielded (no pun intended) calls from a couple of listeners. Jean didn't seem
thrilled about talking to the listeners, but he managed to deal with it. 
All-in-all he sounded great and I'm glad I was in the right place at the
right
time (for once). I was even fortunate to be able to tape it. 

One question I have: Has Jean ever appeared at the Newark convention, or
has he even been invited (I imagine he has as it's right in his own back
yard)?

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

Not only was Foghorn Leghorn a direct swipe (lovingly so) of Delmar's
Senator Claghorn, but TV cartoon _King Leonardo & Friends_ featured a
segment called "the Hunter."  The Hunter, a dog (bloodhound?) who was
forever being outwitted by master criminal the Fox, clumsily caught him
each week by accident (Don't worry.  Somehow, the Fox - a fox - was
free by next week's installment.), just in time for Officer Clancy to say
"Ah, Hunter, ye've done it agayn!"  Hunter would reply that, after all, "I am
-- the Hunter."  The Hunter seems to have been played by Kenny Delmar
himself (no imitation this time) and was note for note and inflection for
inflection our favorite Senator from the South.  That's the South, son!
