Greetings,

Fred Berney's letter in #227 about the Lone Ranger spured me to share some
additional information:

<I do recall a number of shows that deal with the Lone Ranger being sick and
Tonto taking care of him up in the hills.

<The Lone Ranger does not appear in a number of these shows. I could be
wrong, but I think these are the shows that took place during the time that
they were replacing the roll with Brace [removed]

According to the Lone Ranger log by Terry Salomonson, George (Seaton) Stenius
began playing the Lone Ranger on Tuesday, 9 [removed] on January 31st in 1933  on
the Michigan Radio Network.  His last appearance was on May 9th 1933.

On May 16th, 1933, Earle H. Graser first appeared as the LR.  This was also
the first premium give-a-way, a Lone Ranger Six -Shooter.

On April 8th, 1941, Earle H. Graser was killed in an automobile accident.
 Four shows were broadcast without a Lone Ranger until Brace Beemer took the
role on April 18th, 1941.

I thought you all might be interested in this bit of LR history.

Happy Trails,
Phil

And just what does Rush Limburger and politics have to do with OTR, I'd like
to know.

Hello. Some tidbits on Bill Boyd:
When William (Bill) Boyd's parents died, he was forced to quit school 
and worked various jobs (in oil fields, as an orange packer, laborer, 
and a night watchman). All the while trying to get into movies as an 
actor. His first film job was in 1919 in a Cecil B. De Mille film. De 
Mille liked Boyd so much he gave him important lead roles in the 
silent films (such as in "The Volga Boatman" and "King of Kings.") 
During those early years, Boyd was a handsome and rather rugged 
looking man and he fit the role of a leading man (much as Gary 
Cooper, Bogart and other became during the sound era). Dick Lupoff 
is correct in saying William "Stage" Boyd helped ruin Bill Boyd's 
career. Boyd's career took a tailspin in 1931. However, in 1935 he was chosen

to play in the first Hopalong Cassidy film, entitled "Hop-A-Long 
Cassidy." Boyd was 37 years old and his hair was already snow 
white. Boyd's career shot to the top of the "b" westerns through a total of
54 films before his producer decided to drop the films in 1943. Boyd took
over as producer of the Hoppy films and he went on to make 12 more films
starring the aged and squeaky clean cowboy hero who dressed in black.
Sometime in the late 40's Boyd was talking to a friend of his who was a radio
network technician. That friend told him that television was the coming thing
and Boyd should get in on the ground floor. Boyd was a fairly good
businessman and he decided to buy up all the old Hoppy films. People did
laugh at him for believing TV would be anything but a novelty. Boyd hocked
everything he owned to raise the money to buy the rights to the film. This
forced him to live in a small apartment for a good number of years. No fun,
that. When TV finally came along, the studios refused to sell any of their
pictures to the new medium. Like radio, TV had to have material to exist. In
stepped Bill Boyd offering his old Hoppy films. TV grabbed at the chance and
William "Hopalong" Cassidy became a star all over again, and, a very rich
man. 
Here's a rather humorous and true story about Bill Boyd: While making some of
the last of his feature films as Hoppy, there was a scene where the script
called for Hoppy to climb a rope into the top part of a barn. Boyd was
already pushing 60 and he said "You want me to climb all the way up that rope
into the barn? Are you crazy? I'm no strong man. Besides, I'm too old for
such things. No!" The scene was imperative to the story and had to be shot.
The cameraman came up with the solution. Why not climb down the rope, Bill,
and I'll shoot the footage backwards. In editing, I'll reverse the scene so
it'll look like you're climbing UP the rope. That was fine with Bill. That he
could do. The cameraman set the shot up. In the corner of the frame one could
see the back end of one of the horses. As they shot the scene, the horse
decided to -- uh -- relieve himself. No one, not even the cameraman caught
this. The next day, after the set was struck (that means the cast and crew
could NOT return to re-shoot anything), they watched the rushes. To Boyd's
horror (and the horror of the rest of the crew) they saw everything going
BACK INTO the horse! After much pulling of hair, the problem was solved
(remember, they couldn't go back and re-shoot the scene) when the optical
department matted in a fence post to cover what the horse was doing. And so,
another Hoppy film was saved!
Isn't life interesting?

I'm currently writing a screenplay on a fictional old time radio "star".  I'm
researching the glory days of radio like crazy and was curious to know if you
could possibly direct me to any helpful web sites you may know [removed]
 Thanks

I've just discovered this group and felt that an introduction is in order.
I'm recently retired, but in my youth I was a devoted radio listener (from
early in 1943 until 1951).  My parents never missed Walter Winchell or
Information Please.  As a youngster growing up in LA I had the opportunity
to attend radio shows pretty often, beginning with the Jimmy Durante--Gary
Moore show in 1943, and including Fibber McGee & Molly, the Lux Radio
Theater, Meet Corliss Archer, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Jack
Kirkwood, and numerous others.  I also had the opportunity to meet several
radio personalities, including Sandra Gould (Miss Duffy), Ken Niles, and in
New York, Ben Grauer and Bob & Ray (in 1949).  

My favorite show was Vic and Sade, cassette tapes of which I'm hoping to
acquire, and would appreciate a little help in doing so.  I felt the loss
when the show left the air in 1944.  I also enjoyed the Henry Morgan Show,
and taped a few of them in 1947 with my brand new Brush SoundMirror.

My e-mail address is batoor@[removed]

Cheers,
Bruce
