    Hi Gang!

          If "BOSTON Market " merged with "BLACK & Decker" and then merged with
    "E-bay," would they be
    "BOSTON BLACK-E"?

    Just wondering in the ether,

    	        Stephen Kallis reminded me of a wonderful movie from my
    childhood,
    	"Goodbye, My Lady".  I have no recollection of Phil Harris in this
    movie --
    	not surprising, since I last saw it at age 10 or 11 45 years ago!
    But I
    	sure remember loving the movie on the big screen at the Old Trail
    Theater.
    	Is it available on DVD?

    	        Harris had a small role in "The Wheeler Dealers" in which James
    	Garner played his "Maverick" / "Support Your Local Sheriff" - type
    role.
    	It's still a hoot 40 years on.  My sons and I watched it a month ago.
    Lee
    	Remick popped their eyes out.  In any case, it looked as if all
    involved had
    	a wonderful time making the movie.  In addition to Harris, there are a
    	number of OTR figures in the movie, including Jim Backus.

    	Earlier this week I reported seeing Phil Harris in a movie.  Last
    night I
    	was watching a couple episodes of PETER GUNN, Blake Edwards jazzy TV
    series
    	from the late 50's, early 60's.  In an episode from 2/23/59, I kept
    watching
    	one of the characters and thinking his face was familiar.   Sure
    enough,
    	when the end credits rolled there was the name William (we know him as
    	Billy) Idelson.  Interestingly, his list of TV guest appearances on
    IMDB
    	does NOT include this one.  However, I did note that on 2/17/59 he
    appeared
    	in a DRAGNET episode.  Two TV appearances about a week apart.

    	Subject:  SUPERMAN

    	  Following up on Anthony Tollin's post on Superman:

    	  The radio program was also responsible for much of the history and
    	mythology of the character.

    	  The radio program introduced the character of Jimmy Olsen before he
    	appeared in the comic book, the same is true for the characters of
    	Inspector Henderson and Daily Planet Editor Perry White.

    	  Also, kryptonite was used on the radio program years before it was to
    	appear in the comic books.

    	  The cartoons mentioned by Anthony also used voices from the radio
    	cast.

    	  The Superman movie serials were adapted from the radio program and
    not
    	from the comic book.

    	  Superman teamed up with Batman and Robin long before they appeared in
    	World's Finest comic book, published by [removed] comics.

    	  Also in one radio episode when Superman was working with Batman,
    Clark
    	Kent told Bruce wayne he signed his name (Clark Kent) right handed and
    	signed Superman's name left handed, so as to disguise his dual
    identity.
    	Later Batman and Robin, in their comic books started using this same
    	procedure.

    	  So as you see, the radio program had a lot to do with the character
    in
    	establishing many many of the comic book tales.

    	The Ellery Queen series was supposed to end with "The Finishing
    Stroke" in
    	1958. Some novels after this were taken from Dannay short stories
    adapted,
    	such as the above mentioned, or simply wrote by others with the
    Ellery Queen
    	title. The difference in quality is [removed] fact, after reading a

    	Subject:  Just Plain Bill

    	Joe Mackey gives us  insightful walks down memory lane.  His facts
    about
    	Just Plain Bill were incredibly on the money, save one.  "Bill"
    didn't land
    	on the air on September 19, 1935 as stated, giving him but 20 years
    to pull
    	the locals out of trouble.  The early hairstylist of Hartville turned
    up
    	instead on September 19, 1932, becoming the Hummerts' (and radio's)
    first
    	true serial with "staying power."  In fact, that success--and two more
    	washboard weepers to follow in 1933 (The Romance of Helen Trent and Ma
    	Perkins)--established a pattern that the intrepid pair of aural
    creatives
    	would repeat successfully again and again.  Their whole empire, I
    maintain
    	in "Frank and Anne Hummert's Radio Factory," actually rested with those
    	three, and the beginnings of it were vested in Just Plain Bill.
    "Bill,"
    	incidentally, lasted to September 30, 1955, when NBC had "a better
    idea" and
    	canceled it and several other daytimers to clear the way for its
    Weekday
    	magazine.  Ten months later, never admitting its colossal mistake, the
    	network quietly replaced Weekday with soap operas, since few were
    listening.
    	But the longstanding tradition with America's housewives had been
    	broken--they had TV soap operas then, and the legacy of Hartville and
    many
    	other mythical hamlets was abandoned.  The chimes chain would never
    regain
    	its regal splendor during weekdays.  Too late somebody relaized that
    Just
    	Plain Bill's contribution was more than minor.

    	Sorry about the late posting - just got electric an hour ago - first
    time
    	I've seen the light in three days.
    	Some woman named Isabel came through, tore up the property and took
    away the
    	power.
    	Anyway . . . now that I can read my e-mails . . .

    	Kermyt Anderson asked:

    	> How did they manage to have Ellery Queen as a guest,
    	> since "Ellery Queen" was the pseudonym of two cousins,
    	> Fred Dannay and Manfred B. Lee, who wrote mystery

    	> everybody knew that there was no such person as Ellery
    	> Queen. So who was pretending to be him?

    	Actually it was the character of Ellery Queen, not the creators who
    made the
    	guest appearance.  Sydney Smith took over the role of Ellery in
    August or
    	September of 1943 and less than a year later, the producer of the radio
    	program THE ADVENTURES OF ELLERY QUEEN decided to contract Smith to
    go and
    	make a number of appearances on other radio programs to promote the
    series -
    	mainly for publicity reasons.  As a publicity gimmick NBC was keeping
    the
    	identity of the actor who played Ellery a secret, and in newspaper
    stories
    	dealing with the series he was usually photographed with his back to
    the
    	camera.  More interesting was one photo that appeared in an early
    magazine
    	article (RADIO MIRROR if I recall) that actually featured Hugh Marlowe
    	(radio's first Ellery Queen)!  But shortly after that, NBC pretty
    much kept
    	the identity of the actor a secret.

    	During the summer of 1944, the character of Ellery Queen made a guest
    	appearance on THE TEXACO STAR THEATER starring Fred Allen.  As Kermyt
    	mentioned, another apperance was THE COLGATE SPORTS NEWSREEL starring
    Bill
    	Stern, broadcast September 1, 1944.  Ellery was even a guest
    detective on
    	the radio quiz program QUICK AS A FLASH for at least two broadcasts,
    January
    	21, 1945 and October 21, 1945.

    	The character of Ellery Queen was a pseudonym of two cousins, Fred
    Dannay
    	and Manfred B. Lee.  Shortly after their novels became a big hit,
    they did
    	make a number of book signings, but during their early years only one
    of
    	them would show up at the signing, keeping his face under a black
    mask to
    	keep the readers involved in the mystery of what Ellery Queen looked
    like.
    	But their mystery could not be contained for long.  Columbia Pictures
    was
    	the first to catch in on the commercial property and by the
    mid-1930s, they
    	released two movies (one with Donald Cook in the role) and by that
    time,
    	many people (not all of them) realized that the Ellery Queen
    character was
    	not a real life person.

    	Incidentally, by the time the ELLERY QUEEN program went off in 1948, at
    	least six different actors had played the lead.  As for whether the
    entire
    	listening audience knew that there was no such person as Ellery
    Queen, it's
    	doubtful.  My younger sister once thought that Ellery Queen was a woman
    	until I explained it to her.  And many people still insist that Alfred
    	Hitchcock wrote and directed all of the episodes of the television
    series
    	ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESNETS when the truth is, he never wrote a word,
    and only
    	directed eighteen during the ten years.  (People still think Alfred
    	Hitchcock wrote all the forewards for his magazine and books when in
    fact he
    	never did.)  The ELLERY QUEEN MYSTERY MAGAZINE is still published
    today and
    	for a few decades, there was always an introduction written by Ellery
    Queen
    	for each issue - always penned secretly by the editor in chief of the
    	magazine and signing an Ellery Queen signature at the bottom of each
    	introduction.

    	Ted, was this a video you were watching or a TV station?  To the best
    of my
    	knowledge, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY is one of the only John Wayne
    movies that
    	has been for the last few decades, tied up in legal battles.  Two
    different
    	entities (one being the John Wayne estate) claim to own the rights to
    the
    	movie.  It has been shown on TV on occasion but on VERY RARE
    occasions.  No
    	TV station would dare play the film without securing some permission
    from
    	someone and if that was so, I'd be curious to know what station so I
    can
    	drop an e-mail and see who they paid licensing for - I'd be curious
    to know
    	if the legal battle has been settled.  It's not a bad movie really,
    Ted, but
    	you apparently got a chance to see one of the truly rare John Wayne
    movies
    	ever filmed - it's not easy to come by.

    	Don is correct, the mica capacitors seldom fail,  In all the

    	four mica capacitors. I should have been more specific, usually
    	when a radio restorer referers to "all the capacitors", the

    	Stop right there. For a Latin beat, I recommend obtaining a copy of Al
    	Jolson singing "The Spaniard that Blighted my Life". (I seem to think
    it was
    	set to a Bolero tempo, but I could be wrong. In any event, you could
    cobble
    	a Latin dance number around it.

    	In addition, I recently played Pancho at an OTR recreation of "The
    Cisco
    	Kid" a few months back (REPS in Seattle).There is a scene in it where
    Pancho
    	is dancing with a Senorita, and stepping on her toes. You might use
    that to
    	seque into a Latin Dance number.

    	Sounds like a interesting project you are working on. I love ballroom
    	dancing. Particularly. the "Tango". They don't call me "Twinkle Toes"
    for
    	nothing. :)

    	>From [removed]:

    	"CBS, which just celebrated its 50th birthday on-air in 1998, will
    throw
    	another anniversary bash this November. 'CBS at 75: A Primetime
    Celebration'
    	airs live Sunday, Nov. 2, from New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.
    Three-hour
    	special will include the usual round of black-tie celebs and packages
    	recounting the company's history from radio to TV.

    	"'CBS at 75' will be handled by Cates-Doty Prods., with Gil Cates on
    board
    	as exec producer. Louis J. Horvitz, the Emmy-winning director behind
    the
    	Academy Awards, will direct the special.

    	"But just as ABC recently played it loose with the timeline for its
    50th
    	anniversary special, CBS is technically celebrating its 76th birthday
    this
    	year.

    	"The Columbia Phonograph Broadcasting Co. (as the radio network was
    then
    	called) actually launched on Sept. 18, 1927, as a merger between
    nascent
    	network United Independent Broadcasters and the Columbia Phonograph
    Co.,
    	according to the Museum of Broadcast Communications.

    	"CBS instead is recognizing January 1929 as its start date, when
    William
    	Paley bought the company and renamed it the Columbia Broadcasting
    System."

    	(Wait. According to their own definition, won't CBS be 74 on November
    2nd?
    	Then again, wasn't their 50th birthday just 5 years ago? Discuss.)

    	          I may be showing my age a bit, but I remember the
    	opening to "Superman" being slightly different.  (Of course,
    	I may be remembering the classic  TV version.)  The one
    	I remember went something like this:

    	          "Faster than a speeding bullet.  More powerful than a
    	locomotive.  Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
    	[removed] in the [removed]'s a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!
    	Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet
    	with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men."

    	          When I think of  "Superman", I remember the closing
    	lines (which might have been used on radio or not)  which
    	said Superman 'fought a neverending struggle for truth, justice,
    	and the American way!'  (Was this just on TV?)

    	Before I sought treatment for my sleep disorder I used to listen to
    Art Bell
    	as I lay awake at night.  I must say that much of the program content
    on Art
    	Bell could well be the basis for episodes of Twilight Zone.
