    Subject:  Anthony Boucher and radio

    Hello, everyone:
    I was doing a little research on Anthony Boucher who co-wrote The New
    Adventures of Sherlock Holmes with Denis Green, and came across this small
    section in an article on Boucher. The main part of the article is primarily
    on Boucher's literary career -- but they do mention in a paragraph just a bit
    about his radio career. I am also mentioned in that "bit" and am proud to
    have been able to bring many of the missing Sherlock Holme shows to the
    public for their listening pleasure; including a book of 13 of the radio
    plays. The aarticle on Boucher's literary career, including the small bit
    about his radio writing days was written about 1998.  For those interested in
    Boucher's caareer in radio, here is what that small portion says:

    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
    In 1945 Boucher's career entered a new phase. "A chance cocktail party
    meeting led me into radio," he remembered, "and for three years I was
    plotting as many as three half-hour shows a week." He said it was fun and
    hard work to write for "The Adventures of Ellery Queen," "The Casebook of
    Gregory Hood," and "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (in which Basil
    Rathbone and Nigel Bruce reprised their roles from the popular Holmes film
    series). His principal collaborator was the late Dennis Green. They divided
    the work: Boucher devised the plots, and Green clothed them in dialog. All in
    all, Boucher plotted some 150 half-hour dramas in three years. "Radio and I,"
    he later wrote, "began to collapse about the same time."
    Phyllis White let me read some of Boucher's radio scripts. As the years went
    by, and new books by him appeared-Exeunt Murderers, Multiplying Villainies,
    and others-I thought the scripts must be moldering away in the rare book room
    of some university library. But about ten years ago, Ken Greenwald, an
    archivist at Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters, had the idea of turning the
    scripts for the Sherlock Holmes program into a book of short stories. (He
    described radio scripts accurately as "a long lost medium of writing"). The
    happy result was The Lost Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, "Based on the
    Original Radio Plays by Denis Green and Anthony Boucher," and dedicated to
    Mary Green and Phyllis White. With its appearance, Anthony Boucher made his
    last bow to the public.

    I do not know if broadcasts still exist, but the incident was made memorable
    by the press attention focused on the lead dog Balto, who lead his team on
    the last leg (the last two legs, actually, because a blizzard caused the
    team and driver to miss the awaiting final-leg team).  Balto got great
    credit despite not being a particularly good lead dog, because he got his
    team through a whiteout while traversing a particularly dangerous river
    crossing, and, of course, by the extra long trip.  A statue of Balto still
    stands in New York's
    Central Park.  It is my recollection, albeit vague, that I heard, on radio,
    many years later, a dramatization of Balto's trek.  I have no idea which
    program it was, but I presume it was one of the true life (???) adventure
    programs.   The 1925 rescue mission to Nome is still commemorated today by
    the Iditarod race which follows, I suppose more or less, the same route.

    Hola'!
        As my co-author Kristin and I are headin' toward  the end of our research
    - I hope - on CHANDU THE MAGICIAN for our upcoming book,  I can certainly
    tell you that the radio version of CHANDU was almost  "tailor-made" for movie
    serials. As it was, the first 68 episode story, "The  Search for Robert
    Regent"
    made up just about all of the plot for the 1932 Fox  feature film version of
    the radio show - starring Edmund Lowe, Bela Lugosi and  Irene Ware. The film
    writers did a pretty decent job with writer Vera Oldham's  original story,
    although most critics seem to believe that Edmund Lowe  under-acted as
    "Chandu," and
    that Bela Lugosi over-acted as "Roxor." However, I  found one review of the
    film at the time that praised Lugosi above all others in  that the reviewer
    felt that Bela captured more of the essence of the radio  version of "Roxor"
    than
    the rest of the cast did with their characters on  screen.
        The follow-up serial, called THE RETURN OF CHANDU  is probably closer to
    the spirit of the radio show, as the radio series at the  time (c. 1931-1934)
    was 15 minutes long and ended with a "cliffhanger" each day.  The movie serial
    was based on "The Lost City of Lemuria" serial adventure from  CHANDU. Once
    again, writer Vera Oldham wrote the original story. This time, the  radio
    show's director, Cyril Armbrister was hired as the "Dialogue Director" for
    the
    serial, and I suspect he kept things as close to the radio serial as
    possible.
    Ray Morgan, Jr. - son of CHANDU's co-creator Raymond R. Morgan -  believes
    that
    the "Lemuria" episodes were near and dear to Cyril Armbrister's  heart, as
    his family lived for a time on an island in the Bahamas, and he grew  up
    hearing
    much lore of voodoo curses, etc. and was intrigued by the mythical  "lost
    cities" of Lemuria and Atlantis. Sadly, Vera Oldham never got around to
    updating
    the "Lemuria" stories when the CHANDU broadcasts were revived and  revised
    beginning in 1948. The handful of "Lemuria" stories that exist are  probably
    from later in 1933. One dealer gives them a 1935 release date, but I  believe
    that this was actually a later syndication date, as the show was  constantly
    played at different times across the country - and Canada - through  the late
    1930s.
        As I said, a many of the "Lemuria" broadcasts are  lost, so I don't know
    EXACTLY how closely the movie serial followed the radio  version, but I
    suspect it was very close!
        I  suspect the same is true for the original run of the FLASH GORDON
    radio series  (c. 1935) with the mvoie serial (1936), but from a few
    broadcasts
    I've heard,  the writers for the radio series added characters not in Alex
    Raymond's comic  strip. So, I'm not sure of all that! - Lenny  Kohl

    Coming up on Sept 15-16 is American Radio Theater's Radio Studio 2007. One of
    the special parts of the weekend will be an hour and a half interview and
    sharing of memories about the black list years of the 1950s. Larry Albert,
    from Imagination Theater, will be the moderator of the session. Jean Rouverol
    Butler (One Man's Family) and Cliff Carpenter (Terry and the Pirates) will be
    featured, with Kevin O'Morrison (Charley Wild), David and Joan Parker (Lone
    Ranger), Ivan Cury (Bobby Bensen), David Van Meter (Rhoda Williams' husband)
    and Esther McVey. Audience memories will also be part of the session. The
    goal is to get this piece of history recorded for the future.

    The whole weekend (from 9 to 5:45 pm both days) will be broadcast live into
    the conference room at [removed]. During the lunch breaks,
    people in the chat room will be able to chat with the OTR members of ART.

    Other programming pieces are new adaptations of On Ice (play by Kevin
    O'Morrison) and Arthur Conan Doyle's When the World Screamed; a revised
    version of Spirit: the story of the Spirit of St Louis (to celebrate the 80th
    anniversary of Charlie Lindbergh's flight from New York to Paris in 1927); an
    Americanized version of I'm Sorry I haven't a clue, an Ethel and Albert, and
    a cold read of Dad's Army.

    Unfortunately not. Only the barest handful of broadcasts survive from the
    twenties, and while a few do exist from 1925, nothing survives of this
    specific incident. The only news-type material to exist from that year
    are an incomplete linecheck of President Coolidge's inaugural address, as
    heard over AT&T's Red network, recorded by Western Electric, and a
    Herbert Berliner-Apex recording of parts of a campaign speech by Canadian
    Prime Minister Mackenzie King.

    All of the known broadcast recordings from 1925 were made under
    laboratory conditions by phonograph record companies testing various
    types of apparatus, not by civilians. The recording of broadcasts for
    historical or other preservation purposes would not become widespread
    until the uncoated aluminum recording process became popular in the early
    thirties, so, with very few exceptions, the unfortunate answer to any
    "Does such-and-such event/program from 192x exist?" is going to have to
    be "No."

    There is a difference in approach between radio serials and their
    motion-picture counterparts.  Despite the similarity of ending shows in
    cliffhanger fashion, a movie serial was long on action, whereas a radio
    show had to describe everything in detail.  This can clearly be seen
    where the serials were based on OTR programs, such as Captain Midnight,
    Hop Harrigan, and Jack Armstrong.  In many cases, some of the characters
    in the films were based loosely on the radio characters, but many were
    [removed] some fashion.

           I'm not saying this is the exact reason, but my guess for the name
    change from Waldo Lydecker to Paul Lydecker would be that it sounded
    like a name which the writers felt would be more fitting to the character.
    Other programs altered names that we were used to hearing because,
    at the time, we were at war with Germany and the new names sounded
    more "Americanized".

           This is nothing new however.  I have a Lux version of "It's A
    Wonderful
    Life" which was altered to fit a radio audience.  In the movie version (a
    visual medium) George Bailey takes his daughter's rose petals and places
    them in his pocket, but in the Lux version his daughter is given a bell
    which he places in his pocket.  I'm sure that there are many more examples
    of this happening, not only in radio but later in television and movies as
    well.

           This was probably done to the programs more appealing and/or
    acceptable
    to the audience listening to the program.
