Hi All,

With all the talk about Theater Five, I figured I'd finish up my log.  It's
a little big for posting to the digest, so I sent it to Lou for inclusion
on his Web site.  It covers the full run as best as I can tell.

If memory serves,it was rumored that Clayton Moore had obtained the rights
to the Lone Ranger.  He has passed on now and such rights may have
transferred.  Another part of the rumor was that he had simply usurped the
character in his later years because appearing as the LR was his only source
of income.  Any  truth?

It's no longer a cerial or radio premium, but you can still buy 
square inches of Alaska.  Picked up one for my dad when I was 
stationed there a couple years back and he has the deed framed on 
his wall.  I haven't had the heart to tell him that the state or 
fed gov'ment would probably not acknowledge [removed]

For that teriffic Carl Barks Unca Scrooge story, you might write to 
the folks at Gladstone Comics to see which album it's been 
reprinted in.  Almost every Barks Duck story is now available in a 
less expensive format that the original printing (less COSTly, I 
should say -- the printing and paper is much better, usually)

Notable among others who stood against McCarthy is satire are Walt 
Kelly (who reached a large and impressionable audience with Pogo's 
stand against McCarthy) and Harvey Kurtzman in Mad (the comic 
book).  Sadly, I don't think either gentleman did anything with 
radio other than turn it on and [removed]

If Lorne does as well with The Ranger, as he's done with SNL in recent 
[removed]

Probable cast ;)

The Lone Ranger     Chevy Chase
Tonto               Garrett Morris
Butch Cavendish     Phil Hartman
Dan Reid            Dana Carvey

Less Probable [removed]

The Lone Ranger      Steve Martin
Tonto                Jon Lovitz
Butch Cavendish      Michael McKean
Dan Reid             Billy Crystal

Or [removed]

The Lone Ranger      Joe Piscopo
Tonto                Eddie Murphy
Butch Cavendish      Dan Ackroyd
Dan Reid             Martin Short

And, of [removed]

Narrator             Don Pardo

First choice for the role of Butch Cavendish -- unfortunately not 
available -- would be John Belushi.

Subject: One Square Inch of Land
Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

Two notes on this topic:

1)  I remember reading somewhere (I think it was a kid's book about the 
FBI, maybe in the "Real Book [removed]" series) that a kid sent a letter 
to President Eisenhower, threatening to kill him if he didn't give 
official statehood to this kid and a group of his friends, who had all 
acquired their one square inch of land.  The FBI actually investigated 
the kid and he got in all kinds of trouble.

2)  Not too long ago, an article appeared somewhere that said the deeds 
to the square inches of land are worthless because Quaker Oats or whoever 
ran the promotion failed to follow through with the necessary paperwork, 
and all the land involved reverted to the original owner.

Hi all I posted a message telling people that I had a couple of record
packages that might be interesting since there has been so mutch talk
about early recordings. They were the First recorded Sounds and the
First Commercially Successful Recordings. Someone e-mailed me that they
would like a list of the recordings on them. He also had some Theater 5
recordings that I was interested in. Well If your out there, I lost your
e-mail address so please e-mail me again.

Message-id: <01I3F3KK10YQ000GQN@[removed]>

     I've had a couple of inquiries from people interested in buying from me 
the four disc sets of The Shadow released (I believe) in the 1980s.  It was 
Murry Hill or Radiola?  They are The Shadow, More of the Shadow, The Shadow 
Collection, etc.  I'll appreciate a private E-mail from anyone knowledgable 
about these sets and what is appropriate pricing for excellent condition 
sets of these discs.

     Thanks for the help.
