    Subject:  Jews in radio

    Evan in Atlanta in the last digest, when discussing Jews on radio, noted:

>     This forum is perhaps not suited for such horrific topics as the Holocaust,
>     but if there was a mass appeal on behalf of European Jewry, I must also

    I hope to remedy that next week.  I obtained an original line check of a
    broadcast that NBC made on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal, broadcast a
    few months after the end of World War II.  The show dramatizes the plight
    of Jews dislocated by the War.

    I'm posting the show next week to my blog ([removed])
    as part of group of shows that look at the end of World War II.  The main
    program that I'll post is a special show broadcast for VJ Day by AFRS, but
    I'll also be posting some other rare and uncirculated recordings that deal
    with this theme.  August 14/15 is, of course, the anniversary of VJ Day.

    I was hoping the posts would be a surprise, so *ssshhhh* - don't tell
    anyone. :)

    Alas, even today, Jewish broadcasters will wish people a Merry
    Christmas but not mention Hanukkah.  On the other hand, sometimes
    when you least expect it, somebody steps up and shows some Jewish
    pride-- I remember very clearly how one night, on CNN, Larry King
    (who is by his own admission totally non-observant) wished Aaron
    Brown a happy New Year just before the Jewish New Year in 2005.  Most
    viewers probably missed the meaning of the remark, given that Aaron
    seldom if ever mentioned his Jewishness, and Aaron actually looked
    kind of shocked when Larry said it.  I may be playing amateur
    psychologist, but many of the Jews on radio and TV today were raised
    by parents who had survived brutal anti-Semitism during the 30s and
    40s, and they may have assimilated the idea that the less said about
    one's Jewishness, the better.

    Eddie Cantor actually did speak out more than most-- when Henry Ford
    received a medal from Hitler's government in 1938 (and accepted it),
    it was Eddie Cantor alone who lashed out and expressed outrage to
    newspaper reporters.  Radio in the golden age absolutely did have
    Jewish programs which featured rabbis speaking out on
    anti-Semitism.  Stephen S. Wise of New York did this often.  But
    again, these programs were only aimed at the Jewish audience (some I
    believe were in Yiddish).  There were  several Public Service
    programs that ran on NBC Radio in the late 30s that tried to raise
    funds to help the Jews of Europe; and while the audience was probably
    just American Jews, I'd like to believe that non-Jews knew something
    about what was happening, since radio commentator Dorothy Thompson
    (herself a non-Jew) did at least one and possibly two radio
    commentaries about Hitler's anti-Jewish policies.  Thompson later
    became a vocal critic of Israel, but during WW II, she was one of the
    few who spoke about what Hitler was doing to the Jews.

    There is an excellent essay that appeared in the publication of the
    Simon Wiesenthal Center back in 1997, by Joyce Fine.  It's called
    "American Radio Coverage of the Holocaust," and it describes in
    detail which news reporters on the networks spoke up about Hitler and
    his anti-Jewish policies, when they spoke up, and what they
    reported.  It's sad but true that most of the network reporters
    either downplayed or ignored anti-Semitism in the culture, and
    network news rarely mentioned the Final Solution till circa
    1944.  The Jewish media had been howling about it endlessly, but the
    mainstream media, not so much.  Joyce Fine's essay offers some
    theories as to why such a terrible tragedy was seldom discussed on
    radio till it was too late.  And she did find some transcriptions of
    the network newscasts that mentioned the Holocaust-- they are
    preserved in the Library of Congress.  Here's the
    essay:  [removed];b=395127

    Subject:  The Timeless Jack [removed]

    This article from the Columbia Daily Tribune reviews the Jack Benny Show
    from a modern perspective and argues - as I often have - that it holds up
    much better than other comic programs of its era.  She specifically calls
    out Bob Hope, whose appeal is largely lost on me as well, as well as Milton
    Berle.

    Interesting, if brief, analysis.

    Subject:  Green Hornet on YouTube

    Terry Salomonson did a presentation about THE GREEN HORNET at the
    Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention two years ago and the first 20 minutes of
    the presentation is on YouTube. The purpose of the posting was to help
    promote the MANC convention, which was done with the consent of the attorney
    representing The Green Hornet, Inc. The YouTube clip has garnished a number
    of private e-mails through YouTube, and interest in the convention including
    a fan club devoted to THE GREEN HORNET which has already pre-paid and
    pre-registered almost 30 members attending this year for MANC. While Terry's
    presentation is not the same as the one being delievered at the MWOTR Club or
    FOTR, it is worth seeking out and watching for those who have been asking me
    (and posting on the Digest) for a request of a HORNET presentation on YouTube.

    For those who attended the presentation at SPERDVAC in May, the up-coming
    displays a number of revisions and additional material that will please any
    HORNET fan.

    As for the book on [removed], they are retailing the price at $[removed] but you
    can get it for $[removed] on [removed]. The difference in price is the
    same reason for THE TWILIGHT ZONE book last year. Two different sizes means
    two different prices. There is no difference between the larger size book or
    the smaller size book. Both are 816 pages. The ONLY difference is the
    printing size. Buying from [removed] will not support the endeavors of Terry
    and I. That web-site only pays out 45% of the retail and subtracting printing
    and shipping costs, we don't make much at all while a purchase from
    [removed] will allow us 100% profit subtracting the printing cost. This
    has been pointed out a number of times on the Digest -- authors ONLY make
    money off a book they wrote when purchased directly from the author or their
    publishing company. Third hand sources only grants other parties "a piece of
    the action."

    The cost factor to create the book has been enormous for both Terry and I.
    Just this past week I drove up to Buffalo, New York to browse an archive that
    would allow me a little cross-referencing. $154 in gas, $210 in hotel, $8 in
    copy fees and $23 in food expenses gave us enough material to verify facts
    contained in a footnote and add two paragraphs to the manuscript. You can
    only imagine the expenses that went into having a book more than 800 pages
    thick. It'll be worth it, not financially, but for personal satisfaction.

    We mustn't forget that next July there will be a new Green Hornet movie
    released.  It begins filming in September.  I will most likely go see it
    although I am having difficult time picturing Seth Rogan in the lead role.
    To his credit, though, he lost 30 pounds to play Britt Reid [removed] the Green

    Subject:  Radio And The Jews

    "Eternal Light" was a longtime program on radio and television, which I
    believe existed until the 70's on the tube. I wonder if this show, about
    Judaism, would have at Passover time explained and perhaps even recreated a
    Seder for the listening audience.

    Please excuse me, but CBS TV had three great public affairs programs until
    they were cancelled in 1979 to make room for "CBS Sunday Morning". They were
    "Look Up And Live", "Camera Three" and "Lamp Unto My Feet" (which was, I
    think more of a Christian oriented [removed] would be glad  to be corrected).
    These programs ran from the 50' until the 70's covered almost every subject
    of interest under the sun. I wonder if they ever recreated a Seder. I know
    this really belongs more on the "Kine'" Digest, but since the conversation
    is here, I thought I'd bring this up.

       Thanks,

    On the other hand, circa 1955, on the Perry Como TV show, after a
    major production number with the song "It's Beginning to Look a Lot
    Like Christmas," Gertrude Berg appeared as Molly Goldberg and greated
    Perry Como with a compliment on the song "It's Beginning to Look a
    Lot Like Chanukah."  That produced a large applause from the
    audience.
