   A big thank you goes to Mr. Jay for completing his CBSRMT log before
me! You must have been typing all night for months to beat my scheduled
spring release date! Thanks, Jay! I appreciate it! I hope I can repay you
someday!
  Any more commericals for us, Mr. Jay? (That's the only time you post anyway)

Erik,

   I don't think you'll have to worry about not finding cassettes anytime
during your [removed] they are too popular and too widely used. Again, I
think this all is just scare tactics to sell you on recordable cds, which
I'm not falling for. Cassettes are alive and well and will be for years
and years to come, regardless what amateur experts say.

   And, TDK-D60's, 7 for $[removed]  How about 16 for $[removed]  Available at
Sam's Club coast to coast!

  OFFICE MEMO          Prokofiev and Sibelius                 Date:2/23/96

In Issue #70, correspondent rdruian@[removed] mentioned that
some classical themes used on OTR were quite contemporary at the time, surely
not yet falling within the public domain. He cited the march from Sergei
Prokofiev's opera "The Love for Three Oranges" and the finale from Jean
Sibelius's Symphony No. 2 as two examples, feeling sure they were "no more
than 25-30 years old at the time." Just for the record, though Sibelius lived
until 1958, his most popular symphony -- the second of his seven -- was
actually premiered in Helsinki way back on March 8, 1902. (It's a glorious
symphony; listen to Sir John Barbirolli's stereo recording of it sometime!)
"The Love for Three Oranges" is much more recent. It was premiered in Chicago
on December 30, 1921, during Prokofiev's USA sojourn. According to a 1948
music reference book of mine, both compositions were at that time apparently
still under copyright, the Sibelius with Associated Music Publishers, Inc.,
and the Prokofiev with Boosey and Hawkes, Inc.

>To make this more OTR-related:  has anyone ever seen Universal's Myrt and
>Marge, 1934?  I've long been curious about this.  The cast includes Ted
>Healy and the Three Stooges, and the film was written and directed by
>prolific comedy writer (& Jack Benny gagman) Al Boasberg.

I know it survives, because there are clips from it in the recent
documentary about gay characters in cinema, THE CELLULOID CLOSET.  I don't
know how campy the character of Clarence (the theatrical costumer) was in
the early-1930s radio episodes, but he's an absolute screamer in the film.
In the radio shows I've heard (ca. 1940, I think) he's comparatively tame.

There was a radio show during World War II called "Soldiers with Wings."
which aired on Friday nights.  Does anyone know if there are recordings
available of that series? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
