    Episode 174

    EDDIE HUBBARD SPECIAL: WEDDING SONGS

    As a follow-up to Eddiie Hubbard's June Songs Special this episode
    brings an undated Eddie Special with focus on weddings and love.

    Popular wedding songs for this show include "Always," the Irving Berlin
    classic performed by Patsy Cline, "The Wedding Song," written and sung
    by Paul Stookey, and "Forever Together," from the 1966 Broadway show "I
    Do! I Do!" and sung touchingly by the happily married Steve and Eydie.
    Eddie adds a personal touch by dedicating Jack Jones' "My Funny
    Valentine" to his son's (then) recent marriage to his bride Mary Valentine.

    Among other classic love songs on this Special are "When I Fall in
    Love," performed by Nat King Cole, "It's Magic," by Dick Haymes, "Those
    Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine," by the Four Aces,
    and the song so meaningful to those of us who have been married almost a
    lifetime, "When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New," sung beautifully by
    Jimmy Roselli.

    Joining those classics are super love songs like ""Candy," by Johnny
    Mercer and the Pied Pipers, "Linda," by Buddy Clark, "Someone to Watch
    Over Me," by Keely Smith, "It's Love," by Lena Horne, "I'll Dance at
    Your Wedding," by Buddy Clark along with Anita Gordon and Ray Noble's
    orchestra, the popular lighthearted "Love and Marriage," by Frank
    Sinatra, and more.

    Russian immigrant Irving Berlin was truly legendary. An interesting note
    about "Always," is that Berlin wrote it for the Broadway musical "The
    Cocoanuts," which starred the Marx Brothers, but he cut it before the
    show opened and then gave it to his wife as a wedding present. When
    published her song became a musical wedding present for countless
    couples over the century.

    Walter Cronkite at the 100th birthday tribute for Berlin said that "he
    helped write the story of this country, capturing the best of who we are
    and the dreams that shape our lives." Berlin's self-stated aim was to
    write music and lyrics that were uncomplicated and direct to "reach the
    heart of the average American ... the real soul of the country."

    Whether you recall observing friends getting married, being newly in
    love or engaged, perhaps remembering your time as a newlywed, or are a
    codger like me, happily wed for over fifty years, there's at least one
    song here especially for you. For me and my bride, our love was and is
    truly "not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year but
    always." And we will be truly "Forever Together" into eternity --singing
    and dancing on streets of gold with the Lord.

>     1949   Fred Allen had his final program, though he continued for several
>     years to guest on other shows.

    Fred Allen was a regular panelist on "What's My Line" and on at least
    one occasion that I recall, substituted for Herb Shriner as host of the
    quiz show "Two for the Money."  It featured dancing Old Gold cigarette
    cartons and billed itself as the "Comedy Quiz Show." Since it was hosted
    by a comedian and the contestants appeared as couples, it seemed obvious
    that it was "inspired" by "You Bet Your Life."  According to Wikipedia,
    it was.

    When Fred Allen died in 1956, I remember hearing a tribute to him on the
    radio.  Our TV happened not to be working at the time, and we all sat in
    the living room, listening to the old Philco radio (which is now in my
    living room), and at one point I looked around the room and felt that
    this must be what it was like in the days before television.

    Subject:  info wanted on William L. Stuart

    I am looking for information about William L. Stuart's radio work.

    William L. Stuart wrote the script "Ship of the Living Dead" for The
    Shadow in late 1945. It was the only Shadow script he wrote.

    I've check my usual resources with the following results:

    John Dunning's "Tune In Yesterday" or it's updated and retitled version
    "The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio." Niether listed any information on
    Stuart. I also checked the misspelling "Stewart" just in case. Still
    nothing.

    [removed] listed (under the misspelling of Stewart):
    Gangbusters, April 30, 1955 "The Case Of The Missing Detective"
    Gangbusters, May 14, 1955 "The Case Of The Tapped Telephone"
    Suspense, October 7, 1948 "Night Cry"

    Martin Grams' excellent resource "The Shadow" listed Stuart's one Shadow
    scriptwriting credit, but nothing else.

    Checking [removed] indicates a lot of television credits, including "The
    Man Called X" and "Lux Video Theater". He wrote scripts for a lot of
    classic 1960s TV, including "Perry Mason" and "The Green Hornet." His
    1948 novel "Night Cry" was adapted to the 1950 feature film "Where The
    Sidewalk Ends." Nothing is said about his radio work

    And finally, a Google search turned up various versions of the above
    information, but shed nothing new on his radio career.

    So I come to you, here on the OTR Digest. Do you have any information on
    William L. Stuart's radio work, other than the four scripts I've
    identified above? Any assistance will be appreciated!

    John
