    Hi all

    A researcher has contacted me to post his question to the OTR Digest:   Does
    anyone know who has the literary rights of Jean Holloway? Or where he could
    ask about those rights?

    If so, please contact me off list   _JJLjackson@[removed]_
    (mailto:JJLjackson@[removed])

    Thank you.

    Subject:  Gertrude Berg and "The Goldbergs"

    As we all know, "The Goldbergs" began on radio and then transferred to
    television.

    The first DVD collection devoted solely to "The Goldbergs" will be
    released by Timeless  Media Group on April 15th. Called simply "The
    Goldbergs," this 2-DVD set will feature 10 half-hour TV episodes for
    only $[removed]

     > 3-9-36   "Little Red Schoolhouse"
     > NBC Syndicated by The Department Of The Interior
     > Produced by "The Office Of Education" from Washington DC

    My memory stirs -- not because of a radio show, however! There was a
    television show called "The 21st Century", sponsored by Union Carbide
    ("The Discovery Company" -- they had FASCINATING commercials!) and
    narrated by Walter Cronkite. One of the episodes was "The Little Red
    Schoolhouse", about the future of education, including advances in
    computers (they had a computer SINGING, which was Big Stuff back then,
    although, given the right software, even my primitive 8-bit Commodore-64
    could have done it.)   :)

    I can't help wondering: could there possibly be any connection between
    the two shows -- the radio show, and the TV show so many years later???
    I know it doesn't sound likely. But while I don't know, offhand, which
    network "The 21st Century" was aired on, I can't get it out of my head
    that it, too, may have been a product of [removed]

    With word that the indomitable John Rayburn's OTR & TV memories have just been
    published as "Cat Whiskers and Talking Furniture" from McFarland, I'm happy to
    note that Mr. Rayburn will be making a triumphant return (after a few years
    off) to next month's Cincinnati OTR & Nostalgia Convention. John's a great
    entertainer, storyteller, and spoonerist. For my money JR's the world's
    greatest living practicing [removed] of the stories originating in
    the 1930s by Colonel Lemuel Q. Stoopnagel.

    With the news this past December of the passing of the founder of political
    satire group The Capitol Steps -- the guy who also did the spoonerisms for the
    PBS Capitol Steps TV specials -- John's undisputed reign as THE master
    spoonerist goes on (not that I ever accorded any huzzahs on to the Capitol
    Steps guy).

    Subject:  Boombox with "resume" feature

    Recently, I believe there was a request about the availability of a
    boombox with "resume" capability (being able to shut off the power
    and having the CD pick up from exactly where it had left off).  I am
    also interested in purchasing such an item.  Please reply via the
    "OTR Digest" or via my email address if you can help me.  Thanks!
