If you'll recall, Marvin Kaplan was one of the service station operators who
was attacked by Jonathan Winters in the movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World, when they were trying to restrain him and he went ballistic.

Subject:  This week in radio history 4-10 September

9/5

1938   The NBC Red network broadcast Life Can Be Beautiful for the first
time. The program was "an inspiring message of faith drawn from life."
The program aired until 1954.

9/6

1920   The first prizefight broadcast on radio featured Jack Dempsey
knocking out Billy Miske in the third round of a bout in Benton Harbor,
MI.  WWJ in Detroit was the station that fight fans were tuned to.

9/8

1935   The Hoboken Four, featuring Frank Sinatra as lead singer,
appeared on Major Bowes Amateur Hour on WOR. The group won the
competition held at the Capitol Theatre in New York City.

1944   Ed Wynn resumed his radio career after seven years off the air.
Wynn starred in Happy Island on the NBC Blue network.

9/9

1926    the National Broadcasting Co. (NBC) was created by the Radio
Corp. of America.

 From Those Were The Days

1946   Ben Alexander hosted Heart's Desire for the first time, a
giveaway contest program on the Mutual Broadcasting System.

9/10

1935   "I'm Popeye the sailor [removed]" toot! toot! Popeye was heard for
the first time on NBC. The show was based on the Elzie Crisler Segar
comic strip, which featured Popeye, Olive Oyl, Brutus, Wimpy and
Sweepea. Now, eat your spinach in celebration!

Subject:  re: Hopalong Cassidy museum fire

Sad to report that a fire destroyed the Hopalong Cassidy museum in
Cambridge, Ohio,  Saturday evening.  Cambridge was the birthplace of
William Boyd, who was Hopalong Cassidy both on radio and in films. The
museum contained the personal items of William Boyd.  Everything in the
museum was reported destroyed.

Subject:  SummersTime beginning Fifth year!

Folks;

   As usual, I forgot to mention this week marks the beginning of the fifth
year my daughter Kate and I have presented SummersTime, the OTR program on
Radio Once More! With Katie in college, she's really pretty busy, but she
makes time whenever she can to join the old man on the show.

   Next airing is 6:00am Friday, for those of you who need a little Old-Time
Radio to get you started in the morning! Just go to [removed]
to hear the channel stream - Neal Ellis makes sure there's great OTR running
there 24/7!

   And as soon as I have the time to restore a crashed hard drive, I'll
resume posting archive editions of SummersTime to the Nostalgic Rumblings
podcast where by subscribing to the podcast feed, you can get them as soon as
they are posted! To hold you over, I posted a short episode containing
outtakes from the interview of Danial Schorr, the last of Edward R. Murrow's
"Boys" to be working in journalism, with Bob Edwards in 2007. The unedited
interview on DAT was saved from destruction by the Executive Producer of the
show.

   I've been posting a _lot_ of episodes of The Bob Edwards Show to the blog,
but since they aren't OTR, I have not been adding them to the podcast; so if
you're a subscriber, you might want to visit [removed] and
check out the Bob Edwards Archives.

   Ok, I'll stop now.  ;)

         Charlie
