Subject:  Recordings and DST

Michael Biel writes:

Also usually forgotten is the real reason why ABC gave in to
allowing recording: they were disc delaying their entire network an hour
for the Daylight Saving time seasons for the areas still on
Standard time starting in the Spring of 1946. ...

Question ... so what was the set-up for feeding to the non-DST
stations/states, as here in Texas, at the time? Did this
necessitate a second (or more) circuit(s) a la NBC Red and Blue?
If not, it would seem you would have all sorts of conflicts, not
only to take care of the one-hour delay for the standard-time
stations, but also the usual repeats to the West Coast that might
still have been going on.

As far as I know there weren't common "regular" and "long-form"
channels for the same network(s) until they switched to
satellites in the 1980s. Until then all sorts of closed-circuit
communications and special programs were sandwiched between
regular programming. Some of you might remember in the 1970s, NBC
Radio's News and Information Service (all news, all the time) and
when they had a bulletin that had to go to the full network, they
stalled for a minute or so to give non-NIS stations time to join.

Also Michael mentions: "Although Edward R. Murrow had been using
tape for his 'I Can Hear It Now' phonograph record series since
1948, tape was slow to appear in entertainment production
facilities." In Murrow's interview with Robert Trout for the
special CBS Radio program "Farewell to Studio Nine," Murrow
mentions that they weren't permitted to use recordings "until
shortly before D-Day." I assume he's talking about news news
reports only, but even then, I'm not sure just how often from
D-Day on into the late '40s they actually used recorded reports.
Anybody have any documentation?

Actually, you notice that the hourly newscasts these days (CBS,
ABC and Fox that I'm aware of) often switch to reporters "live."
I can understand this when it comes to a fluid story, say a vote
on legislation in Washington. But why on earth they make such a
big deal of it for mundane stories, other than hype, I have no
idea. I can tell you as a field reporter it felt a lot better
doing a recorded report than going live where you might lose your
connection, miss your cue or otherwise mess up the story.

Subject:  Risque?

KC0PWA (Ryan Ellett) asks,

Gloria says her friend was dating a "petting" officer
and Harold insists there's no such thing, only a "petty"
officer. Gloria's response is "That's not what I hear."
I about choked. Did this back-and-forth have the
same sexual connotations as today?

He wondered how that got by the censors.

A lot of items that had no direct verbiage but had allusions to risque
items got by.  There was the Bob Hope routine, with a female guest.
Supposedly, they were walking through the morning outdoors.

HOPE: Some sunrise!
GUEST: You bet.
HOPE: Some flowers!
GUEST:  I'll say.
HOPE: Some grass!
GUEST: Very nice.
HOPE: Some dew!
GUEST:  I don't!

I suppose if something was indirect enough, and would pass over the heads
of most young listeners, it would pass.

Subject:  GUNSMOKE and Crosby

Michael Biel wrote:

Rand@coolcatdaddy asked how many tape
masters still exist and where they are. I think that the Gunsmokes are in
SPERDVAC, and I bought the two Crime Fighters tapes over 30 years ago at the
Englishtown NJ fleamarket. At NBC they erased and reused tape, dubbing the
tapes to disc if the program was to be archived. Tape doesn't really exist
there until the mid-60s. I think this is similar at the other networks.
The erasability of tape was too tempting.

It's always enjoyable when Michael fills in the gaps on information about
radio and recording.
Though I am not as exacting as Michael is, I sometimes do have info that I
think helps for a better understanding of OTR.
I want to mention that almost the entire run of GUNSMOKE ETs and the Network
Master Tapes are in the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters Radio Archives in
Hollywood. And, Michael is correct, the sound is astonishingly wonderful to
listen to.
Michael is also correct about the reuse of tape. But it wasn't only NBC that
did this, it was CBS (and I suspect the other networks did the same). Working
at PPB I've come across many a CBS master tape where (on the outside of the
tape box) there is a list of shows that were recorded on that reel of tape. I
can't tell you how many times my heart sank when I saw the list of great
radio shows that were recorded on those reels, only to be "scratched out" on
the list and another show recorded, and then another and another, each
previous show having been erased to be replaced by another. Shows like Our
Miss Brooks, My Friend Irma, etc.
Thankfully someone often had the foresight to make ETs of some (but not all)
of those shows on tape.

Norm Dewes, one of the top radio engineers during the golden days of OTR used
to engineer the Bing Crosby shows on ETs and tape. It is because of Norm
Dewes that PPB has the special 44 mike that Crosby took with him wherever he
went, be it broadcasting from a location or at the studio. That mike was
specially "tuned" (adjusted) to Crosby's voice. It was Norm who told me that
Crosby never stopped talking about wanting to get out and play golf all the
time, and that he was thankful a method (tape) was discovered that allowed
him to have his shows edited quickly so he could get out the golf course as
soon as possible.
Luckily, all the Crosby shows were also recorded onto ETs and long runs of
them were even pressed on vinyl to be given to cast and crew of the Crosby
shows. That is why so many of the Crosby shows are available. And I did see
some master tapes where Crosby's show was crossed off the list.
Michael is right on target when he says "the erasability of tape was too
tempting!"

     Ryan, the word "petting" has never been regarded as "risque" or "raw" in
my lifetime, and I'm 66 years old.

     In fact, the first use I ever personally saw of the word, in one of my
Mom's parenting magazines only a year or two after your HONEST HAROLD
episode, was "harmless teenage petting."

     And in the eighth grade of parochial school (1954-1955) we were warned
by a habited nun to "be very careful that your petting doesn't get out of
hand."

    So my guess is that the network censor had no problems with the word at
all.

    Sincerely,

    George Wagner

Subject:  Adv. of Superman storyline "Mystery of the
 Stolen Costume."

I recently purchased the Adventures of Superman set "Superman Last Son of
Krypton" from Radio Spirits. This set includes the multi-part storyline "The
Mystery of the Stolen Costume" (later re-tooled as an episode of the George
Reeves TV series); but as I listened to the story (an episode per day, with a
Monday episode on a Monday, and so forth), I soon discovered that an episode
was missing. Episode 7.

I'm curious why there was no mention of this in either the Radio Spirits
catalog, or on the set itself (or in the accompanying booklet). For the
record, the storyline is perfectly understandable without episode 7, and had
I not been listening to it daily, and suddenly been told to tune in on Monday
when I was listening to what I thought was a Thursday episode, I might not
have noticed the absence. Still, I think Radio Spirits should have at least
mentioned the missing episode. The company could have stated that it was
still possible to follow the storyline.

The basic premise of "The Mystery of the Stolen Costume" is that while Clark
Kent is out of town, a cat burglar (I forget his name, and I don't have the
CDs handy at the moment) happens to break into his apartment. The burglar
finds a secret closet with a spare Superman costume and absconds with it.
Before he gets very far he's caught in a shoot-out with police and mortally
wounded. He manages to drag himself to the home of a one-time criminal big
shot (named "Biggie", natch) who seeks to control Metropolis again (Perry
White is now Mayor and his administration has cleaned up things). Before
dying, the burglar only manages to say what apartment building he'd been in,
not what unit.

Biggie's plan for determining which apartment the criminal robbed (as stated
at the end of episode 6) is to have a henchman pose as a painting contractor,
go into each apartment, and look for a secret sliding panel. Whoever lives in
the apartment with said panel is Superman. Episode 8 has the fake painter
report that he's about halfway through the building; he also visits Clark
Kent's apartment. So, most likely chapter 7 involved an actual meeting
between Biggie and his henchman, and possibly a meeting between Superman and
Batman (Bruce Wayne is at Clark's apartment when the fake painter arrives).

So, like I said, you're not left wondering what's going on due to the loss of
episode 7, but it's still curious that Radio Spirits didn't mention that it's
missing.

I'm also curious why the accompanying booklet had only scant information
about the voice actors in the story compared to booklets in previous Superman
collections with multi-part stories. These other booklets would indicate who
voiced parts in each episode of a storyline. Thus, in the "Atom Man Vs.
Superman" storyline, we learn that Bud Collyer voiced a soldier in an early
chapter, and that Mason Adams voiced detective Candy Myers in addition to
voicing The Atom Man.

The booklet accompanying the "Superman Last Son of Krypton" set doesn't offer
an episode by episode breakdown of voice actors for the two serials, "Stolen
Costume" and "The Skin Game"; only lists the main cast; and if any of them
voiced other parts, that's not indicated. That's a curious change from
previous collections.
