July 1st will be Sara Seegar's birthday. She was from Greentown, IN. Best
know as the 2nd Mrs. Wilson on "Dennis the Menace". Best know to OTR as Mrs.
Ezra (Henry Aldrich) Stone. I am trying to find out where she is buried. The
Stones were active in local theatre in Buck County, PA. They had a farm
there. I would like to know if there is a collection of items from her film
and TV career in a special library or museum.

Hal Stone asks Jim:
Hi Jim; You mentioned in your recent posting about Dwight Weist that he
appeared in the 1989 Movie, "The Name of the Rose". Was that the one
starring Sean Connery as the Monk Detective? If so, do you have info as to
what part Dwight played in that fascinating film?
And is answered thusly:
***Actually, Dwight Weist did not actually "appear" in THE NAME OF THE ROSE.
He provided the very-important voiceover narration, remembering the story as
an older version of Christian Slater's teenaged acolyte character. --ANTHONY
TOLLIN***
I have a joke about that movie:
At the end, as monk William of Baskerville (Sean) and his apprentice are
leaving the abbey (which is now in ruins) I imagine two of the abbey's
monks saying:
"Who was that strange monk who called himself William of Baskerville?"
"I know not. But I suspect that he was, in truth, Secret Agent "_ _ VII"

The recent talk about the Jack Benny/Fred Allen-fued has made me wonder about

Subject: Re: Early Mystery
Anthony Tollin observes,
Actually, the first detective to appear regularly on network radio was almost
certainly Sax Rohmer's Nayland Smith, the detective nemesis of Dr. Fu Manchu,
who was featured in twelve-part serials on NBC-Blue's THE COLLIER HOUR
beginning in 1929.***
The first Fu Manchu segment on the Collier's program was heard on 5/1/29,
and I've not been able to document any detective-type network programs
before that date -- although Fred Smith's short-run mystery serial "The
Step on the Stair" had been aired over WLW in 1926, and the scripts from
this series were syndicated to several other stations thru the late
twenties for local productions.
The local success of "Step on the Stair" almost certainly paved the way
for the mystery shows that would follow, and its influence is most
clearly seen in the first self-contained network program with a
detective/mystery theme -- "Mystery House," which began over NBC-Red in
the fall of 1929 and ran into early 1930. This was a creaky
old-dark-house melodrama written by one Finis Farr. Farr was a
fascinating story in himself -- he was still in his early twenties when
he landed at NBC after spending several years as a newspaperman in
Cincinnati, where he had very likely heard "Step on the Stair" over WLW.
After leaving NBC in the mid-thirties, he became a right-wing magazine
journalist -- and after WW2, he spent more than fifteen years as an
operative for the CIA.
There was nothing particularly original about any aspect of "Mystery
House" -- it was a trite melodrama about the Strange Goings On in the
gloomy Denby mansion in New York. Young gadabaout bachelor/heir Richard
Brooke had moved into the mansion, and had incurred the enmity of the
mysterious Professor Montegle, overlord of a band of murderous
cutthroats, who had used the mansion as their base of operations, and who
thus plotted to frighten Brooke into leaving by arranging to have the
house "haunted by the ghost of Old Man Denby." Brooke, in turn, enlisted
the aid of his friend, the famed criminologist Ransome Renwick, in an
attempt to get to the bottom of the secrets surrounding the Mystery
House.
It was utter hokum, which had already been done to death in novels,
plays, short stories, and silent pictures, (and which would eventually
find its ultimate expression in the adventures of Scooby Doo) but it made
quite an impression on listeners during the winter of 1929-30. While no
recordings exist, the February 1930 "Radio Digest" includes a short-story
adaptation of one of the episodes.

Subject: What Did You Say?
Howard Blue asks,
Are radio and television shows considered ìpublishedî if they have been
aired? I need to quote a few lines from some shows. Can I do so without
getting permission from a copyright holder?
As I understand it, even copyright works can be quoted without having to
obtain permission as long as what's being quoted is brief. Thus if you
quoted one of my favorite likes from Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons,
+++++
KEEN: Mike, look at this desktop. What do you make of this?
MIKE: It looks like a pad of paper and a pen to me, Mr. Keen, sir.
+++++
the use of the lines would be usable if the program was cited. If,
however, the quotation was the length of something like Hamlet's
Soliloquoy, that would be another matter.

Subject: Benny and Allen thread
I've been reading with great interest the recent thread that asked the
question why Jack Benny's star seems to have burned a little brighter
than that of Fred Allen's. Most of the responses seem to lay forth the
argument that Allen's topicality is what did him in, as opposed to
Benny's "timeless" humor.
I'm not sure this is being fair to [removed]'s show was not free
from the topical humor of its day; one memorable program has Dennis
telling Jack that he's become much more vigorous and full of energy
thanks to the notorious "health tonic" Hadacol--to which Phil Harris
replies: "Well, we've got the ice, [removed] it [removed]" (I'm sure
there are many people who are unfamiliar with the story behind
Hadacol.) Actually, I kind of blushed at the one poster who said that a
person would have to be a history major to get most of the references on
Allen's show; I never imagined that the reason I get such a kick out of
Allen's show is due to some lofty academic accomplishment on my part.
Generally, I agree with most of those people who have theorized that
Benny's long run on TV ultimately gave him the edge over Allen. That
being said, Fred Allen will never wear out his welcome in my house; to
this day I remain in awe of his wit and talent.

Richard Carpenter, speaking about the concept of OTR continuing unto
today, cited Jack Benny as observing,
He told an interviewer that you could put on the world's greatest radio
show and no one would listen.
Jack Benny was/is one of my favorite comedians. However, he wasn't
always right. I suspect his observation is valid during the prime-time
hours, but certainly not all the time. I've maintained for years now
that a quartet of 15-minute OSR serials during communing hours would work
well. Certainly some summertime leisure activities -- sunning oneself on
a beach, "dozing" in a hammock, going on a picnic, or the like -- would
work well with OSR.

John Mayer, speaking of the RSI contest for the Shadow Blue Coal ring,
notes,
... the point is that the contest page does not unambiguously assure

the cautionary note "not to miss out on this chance to win" suggests the
contrary.
Just so that we're all on the same page [Page 2 of the catalog :-) ] on
this, the catalog entry reads in its entirety:
"Win this original 1941 Shadow 'Blue Coal' Ring -- Plus Other Prizes!
"This is not a replica -- it's one of the most sought-after premium

That's the entire text in "unenhanced" letters.
There may well be clarifications to these rules; in fact, from Dr. Beil's
posting, I anticipate a clarifying mailing. But if we're going to
discuss the drawing, it's better to have more than just excerpts.

Subject: Anthony Boucher
Every year since 1970, a convention called "Bouchercon" is held to honor the
memory of Anthony Boucher (aka William Anthony Parker White) and his
contributions to the mystery genre as writer, critic, editor and fan. These
conventions are held in different cities, mostly North American, though
sometimes in England. I usually try to attend these conventions and thought I
was pretty much "up" on Boucher's accomplishments until I ran across a
reference to a book titled, "The Lost Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Based On
The Original Radio Plays By Dennis Green & Anthony Boucher," by Ken Greenwald.
I may run out and grab a copy of this book myself but wondered if anyone on the
list already had it. If you do, is the book descriptive enough to link the
Boucher radio plays to specific broadcasts (titles/dates???)? Frankly, until I
ran across that book reference, I didn't even know Boucher wrote radio plays
... though I did know he was a dyed-in-the-wool Sherlockian.

Dwight received a long-distance call from Germany from the film's director,

and asked, "Can you make your voice sound like an old man?"

Of course, Dwight had often portrayed an "old man" during the golden age of

"A 60-Year old lady whose husband disappeared five years ago lives in a

[Sorry; this posting was delayed a couple of weeks by technical problems
which, hopefully, I've addressed.]
A Joseph Ross, [removed] <lawyer@[removed];
responded to my suggestion that Carl Amari may have acquired some of his
information on OTR property rights by simply broadcasting and/or selling
the more obscure shows and waiting for someone with a claim to it to
contact him. I suggested this would be the most expedient approach, as
opposed to long LOC and contract searches of the sort Elizabeth
described. Joseph pointed out:
> It's also a good way to get into a lot of costly legal trouble.
But* Mr. Amari has already acknowledged that this is what happened in
his early days of broadcasting on college radio (this, he tells us, is
how he learned of the importance of copyright). Since he was able to
placate those he thus unwittingly infringed upon by negotiating with
them after the fact, surely there was little disincentive for him to
continue this simple policy, at least initially. While Radio Spirits
intimidates other dealers, I doubt there is any similar company that
Radio Spirits, in turn, must fear. And even RS has so far issued Cease
and Desist orders, as far as I know, rather than Draconic lawsuits.
Similarly, I suspect if the dealers he puts on notice were to offer to
retail Radio Spirits tapes for Amari and company, he would not dismiss
the proposal out of hand.
I hasten to add that this is pure speculation on my part and, even if
this were once his approach, I'm sure he has the wherewithal to approach
licensing in a more methodical manner today. Perhaps there are companies
such as the Licensing Corporation of America, many of whose licensed
characters for a variety of companies (DC, Marvel, Hanna-Barbera, MGM) I
once sculpted for a third party. If so, learning who owns a specific
property would require no more than an e-mail. If no such company exists
for OTR, there is a void to be filled.
BTW, I honestly believe Amari truly loves OTR, much as the comic shop
proprietor on the Simpsons truly loves comic books (if you've never
watched the show, give yourself a treat).

From: John Mayer <mayer@[removed];
But to further clarify Mr. Inks' Captain Marvel info, even though DC
comics (National) brought their infamous lawsuit early after his
appearance in 1940, the Captain and his family managed to hang on for
many years.
The lawsuit continued to drag on for a long time. I read the decision, by
Judge Learned Hand, in the Court of Appeals, in my Copyrights course in
law school. That was over 30 years ago, so my recollection is a bit hazy,
but I believe the case didn't involve a claim by DC that the basic idea of
a super-man flying around in tights and a cape was protected by copyright.
DC claimed that Fawcett copies specific stories and that the artists
copied specific panels of Superman comics in drawing Captain Marvel.
Fawcett's lawyers, among other things, claimed that some Superman comic
strips lacked proper copyright notices which, under the law in those days,
would put them in the public domain. I think Fawcett may have tried to
claim that Superman itself was in the public domain as a result of some
strips being published without copyright notices, but the court didn't buy
that.
The bottom line was that the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the
District Court, with the direction that every single Superman strip in
question had to be examined to see whether there was or wasn't a proper
copyright notice. It then was necessary to engage in a painstaking strip-
by-strip comparison of Superman and Captain Marvel strips to identify any
copying.
The first was a victory for DC. In effect, the court was saying that the
only thing put into the public domain by the lack of a copyright notice on
a particular strip was the specific drawings and storylines of that strip.
Superman as a whole did not go into the public domain thereby.
The second was a major victory for Marvel. I'm not sure the court said it
in so many words, but the ruling meant that Captain Marvel, per se, was
not an infringement of Superman copyrights. Only specific stories and
drawings could be infringements, and one had to look, strip-by-strip, to
see whether they were or not.
But by the early 1950s, superhero comics were dying out, partly because of
Dr. Frederick Wertham's attack on comic books as a whole, partly just
because of changing times. The comic-book superheros were so invested in
fighting the battles of World War II that after the war, they seemed to
have a lot less to do. It's a bit like the show they tried to do as a
sequel to Mash, showing the characters back at home. It was awfully dull
compared to war, and World War II was as close to an epic conflict between
good and evil as real life can come. Most of DC's superheros were
discontinued during the late 1940s and 50s, as were Captain America and
most of the other companies' heros. I believe that Superman, Batman, and
WonderWoman were the only three to continue throughout that era.
And so, with sales dropping, Fawcett discontinued the Captain Marvel line
and settled the lawsuit. But they would likely have discontinued Captain
Marvel even without the lawsuit.
