1936 ... You may remember that the title character in The
Green Hornet was really named Britt Reid. He was, in fact, supposed to
be the great nephew of John* Reid, the Lone Ranger. Both popular series
were created by George Trendle and Fran Striker. (*The name of John is
disputed since his first name is believed not to be recorded anywhere).
Britt Reid was said to be the son of Dan Reid, the Lone Ranger's
nephew. Dan appeared from time to time on the LR radio and television
shows, riding with the LR and Tonto during his summer break from school
back East. Presumably the LR paid Dan's tuition with some of the
proceeds of his silver mine. On The Green Hornet, an older Dan Reid
appeared as a wealthy newspaper magnate and Britt's father.
I always wondered what they did with Dan's horse, Victor, while Dan was
in school back East.

1940 NBC presented The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street for
the first time. The famous Blue network series included several
distinguished alumni among them, Dinah Shore and Zero Mostel. The
chairman, or host, of The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street
was Milton Cross. He would say things like, "A Bostonian looks like he's
smelling something. A New Yorker looks like he's found it." The show
combined satire, blues and jazz and was built around what were called
the three B's of music: Barrelhouse, Boogie Woogie and Blues.
