Subject: Paul Harvey is Paul [removed]
Since I think I am the one who got the subject of Paul Harvey going on this
digest recounting the non-news story of the blind kids who, according to
him, shot their limits of pheasants, I want to express my opinion.
Surely, as Mike Biel commented, Harvey learned some of his acting
techniques from Gabriel Heatter. (I have one Heatter program and do
remember hearing him.)
But when all is said and done, a man who has delivered the news with
comments daily for over 50 years on a national network deserves to be known
for himself.
Whether or not I share his political opinions, I must give him credit
for being himself.
Paul Harvey is Paul Harvey.

Subject: Very, very belated our ages
Hey guys. Had the flu last part of last month and have been trying to play
catch up since then. Thought I would give a little bit about myself, even
though it is a bit late.
My name is Bob Watson and I have lived most of my life in the small town of
Cochran, Ga. I will be 40 years old in March.
My mother was the youngest of 7 children, so I was raised on tales of old
radio. Even though I was exposed to old time radio in the early 70's when a
local station played the Lone Ranger on Saturdays, I never really got into
OTR until an incident that happened in late 1978, which got me hooked on
those wonderful old radio shows.
Back in the late 70's, we only had 2 radios in the house, the portable in
the kitchen and my stereo system in my room. One Sunday night, my Mom
brought the radio out of the kitchen to try and find a weather report on the
radio. Even then, we listened to FM more than AM, but she must have
accidently flipped the switch when she picked up the radio, because when she
tried to get the local FM station, she got KMOX-AM in St Louis. At that
moment, they were finishing up a repeat of an old Jack Benny broadcast. My
parents, my grandmother and myself thoroughly enjoyed the last few minutes
of the show. Since everyone else wanted to watch TV after that, I went into
my room and listened to the rest of KMOX's presentations of Our Miss Brooks,
Burns and Allen, Suspense and the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre. I was hooked.
A few weeks later, I found some old Inner Sanctum episodes and other old
radio related LP's at Camelot Music in the Macon Mall and soon had ordered
War of the Worlds and Sorry, Wrong Number. I soon learned that Sunday
nights held a cornacopia of old radio entertainment. I listened to KMOX's
lineup, or I could tune to WCFL's if I wasn't interested in what KMOX was
presenting. Then I would listen to WGN's 30 minute presentation sometimes
and at 10:30, I would listen to WBAP out in Dallas Ft Worth and listen to
Fibber McGee and Molly, Suspense and Gunsmoke every Sunday night. Later,
after these stations quit carrying OTR programming, I would listen to WRNG
out of Atlanta and WCAU out of Philidelphia. Of course when my parents got
there satellite dish in the mid 80's, I found Bill Bragg and listened to
him. Now, the internet plays an important role in my OTR listening. I
don't collect like I used, so thank goodness for the internet. I especially
like to listen to OTR shows on cold winter nights, late at night, with a mug
of hot cocoa. Gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside. Such is the power
of OTR.

I grew up listening to Paul Harvey on the noon news. My dad, brother and I
would
come in from our farm work right at noon for lunch and my mom would always
have
the radio on and tuned in to Paul Harvy. We would set down to home grown
corn-on-the cob, country fried steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, home grow
beans,
hot rolls, ect.,( we could smell those wonderful meals yards from the house).
As
we sat down we would hear the familiar "Hello [removed] by for
news!" I
always thought he made the news sound so important. I seldom hear Mr. Harvey
now,
but occasionally I will tune in to the local station that carries him and as
soon
as I hear that voice my senses bring back those wonderful smells of those
home-cooked meals on the farm. Excuse me, I gotta go see if there is anything
left
over from dinner in the fridge.

Subject: Secret Squadron Signal Session
Jim Kitchen, having listened to a recording of a Captain Midnight wartime
adventure, notes,
I recently listened to a Captain Midnight episode from "Fighting with
the Commandos!" <snip> they announce a Secret Squadron Signal Session
with a clue about tomorrow nights adventure in Master Code 4! <snip> I
jot down the code, grab my decoder badge, set Master Code 4 on the
back and decode this message <snip> . Think it's a 1942 model because
there's a place for Captain
Midnight's photo which has long since disappeared<<
What Jim has is a 1942 Photo-Matic Code-O-Graph. Because of the wartime
shortage of copper, the program offered no Code-O-Graphs in 1943 and
1944, so the 1942 model was used during those years. Fortunately, the
1942 model had been overproduced, and listeners didn't think of ordering
multiple copies, so there were enough to offer to new users until the
next model, the 1945 Magni-Magic Code-O-Graph. The "place for Captain
Midnight's photo" was really a place for the owner's picture. The badge
was supposed to be used as a photo-ID unit, "just like the badges used at
defense plants," the accompanying manual said. In my collection, I have
two with my picture, one of them in the cockpit of a Grumman AA-1B
trainer taken some 25 years ago.
It's tarnished, which makes it difficult to see the letters and
numbers, but it still works!<<
Although some collectors hate to remove tarnish, if something's that far
gone, there's no reason not to polish it up. Many "Army Surplus" stores,
and other places sell Blitz Cloths, which are excellent for polishing
Code-O-Graphs and other really tarnished brass premiums.

Subject: OTR & OSR
Stephen Jansen notes,
You know, I don't really consider OTR and OSR to be different things. I
know that this will end up a big can of worms, but I think that those of
us who didn't live through the radio of the 40's and 50's, don't have the
nostalgia connection, and tend to enjoy all of it as "audio theatre". <<
Well, the distinction is between what has been broadcast through the
1950s (not counting those things that are still around like Paul Harvey),
including drama, news commentary, variety, comedy, etc., and new radio
drama, etc. The reason for the distinction is twofold.
First, the S of OSR means producing programs that are presented in the
manner of OTR shows, but is fresh material. This isn't to knock what's
gone on before, but to point out that the tradition can (and should) be
carried on. To many people, nostalgia or no, "OTR" represents a specific
historic era that was effectively defunct by roughly 1960. Under any
circumstances, something that took place in the 20th Century, not the
21st.
Second, as several have pointed out, a lot of OTR isn't available legally
for broadcast. Notwithstanding that some OTR shows would air better
these days than others, suppose someone wanted to air Jack Armstrong:
could they legally? Not without clearing it with the owners, and not to
mention whatever compensation might have to be made to the performers,
etc. I suspect that General Mills owns the rights to that one.
For some reason CBS Radio Mystery Theater gets listed in all of the OTR
books<<
And I think that this is a mistake. That show wasn't an extension of OTR
and surely wasn't aired during the OTR period. At best, it should be a
footnote entry.

Subject: Roma Wine
You can take this for what it's worth, but I was playing in a band some 20
years ago and, as we live on a reservation in western New Mexico, we had to
travel long distances to play. Sometimes I would bring along an otr tape for
the trip and one time I brought "Home For Christmas" from Suspense. I
thought the guys would get a kick out of Peter Lorre singing. Anyway, when
the Roma Wine ad came on the guys started laughing when the ad had a guy
making such a formal toast and talking about how the wine was helping
international relations because where we came from Roma was the local cheap
"wino" wine. I was four years married on the rez and didn't know the
historical cheap wine and was surprised that that was how Roma was
characterized in my area. I don't know how the wine was treated in other
areas.

Subject: Re: Uncle Don [removed]
Lee Munsick states,
Contrary to one recent posting, Uncle Don was indeed let go from WOR, but the
open-mike comment was merely the last straw for the WOR management. Don
Carney (his showbiz pseudonym, not his real name) had a drinking problem.
And he chased after the ladies. There were numerous indiscretions, which
made it increasingly difficult for WOR/Mutual to keep that part of his life
out of the papers and away from his audience, the little kiddies and their
parents.
Lee and I had a bit of an off-list debate on this subject a couple of
years ago, and have agreed to disagree on our interpretation of the
[removed] let me add just a few points here.
There is no question that Howard "Don Carney" Rice was, as his biographer
Bill Treadwell put it, "a real heel" in his personal life. Treadwell had
worked closely with Uncle Don for most of his career, and his biography
of Rice, "Head, Heart and Heel" (New York: Mayfair Books, 1958), is quite
frank in acknowledging the sleazier side of Uncle Don's life: he
describes him as a "Jekyll and Hyde" type, who away from the mike was an
abuser both of liquor and of women.
Howard Rice had been dead for four years by the time Treadwell's
biography was published -- and given the tell-all nature of his book,
Treadwell had no reason to hide anything, no reason to falsify the
historic record. He presents a detailed discussion of the "little
bastards" story on pages 77 thru 79 of his book, and states,
unequivocally, that it didn't happen.
Treadwell indicates that the story had begun to circulate about Uncle Don
as early as 1931 -- less than three years after his WOR program began,
and about a year after the story first appeared in print in "Variety,"
discussing an unnamed personality in Philadelphia. As is documented in
David and Barbara Mikelson's definitive discussion of the legend at
[removed], the earliest known
attribution of the legend to Uncle Don to appear in print occurs in Alton
Cook's radio column in the New York World Telegram on 3/2/35 -- and Cook
only brings up the story to repudiate it.
It is *inarguable* then, that this story was circulating about Uncle Don
for more than fourteen years before he left WOR in 1949. It was
inarguably a well-known legend within the industry, even as Rice's
program was still being broadcast. Howard Rice was not dismissed,
suspended, or otherwise disciplined by WOR at any time between the start
of his program in September 1928 and the first attribution of the "little
bastards" legend to him in March 1935. He was not dismissed by WOR when
his daily show ended on 2/21/47. Indeed, he continued on the station for
nearly two full years after this, doing a Sunday morning program of
children's recordings.
The daily "Uncle Don" program was dropped in 1947 not because of anything
he had done, but because WOR wanted the early-evening time slot for a
five-a-week newscast. This program was offered as a network feature, to
be sold on a co-op basis to sponsors in each affiliate's market --
whereas Uncle Don was only a local program. WOR made a double profit on
Mutual shows: receiving its regular rate-card payment for the local time,
plus as a co-owner of the network, it received a commission on the time
sold for the program by other Mutual stations. That being the case, it is
evident that the major motivation for dropping the daily "Uncle Don"
program was money, and nothing more.
But let's assume for the sake of argument that he signed off his final
broadcast on WOR, his Sunday morning program of 2/9/49, with the "little
bastards" line. Let's assume that by an incredible stroke of coincidence
he was making a conscious joke on the old legend, and let's assume that
by another even-more-incredible stroke of coincidence, his mike was still
live when he did so.
That would be news. No question. In 1949, there were seven major daily
papers in Manhattan, and every one of these papers had a radio editor.
Some of these were cheap hacks (hello, Nick Kenny) but others were
serious journalists (Hello Alton Cook, John Crosby and Jack Gould.) Let's
assume, though, that these journalists received a sudden call from WOR on
a Sunday afternoon, urging them not to say anything about this incredible
stroke of coincidence that just occured in their next columns -- and
let's assume that all of them agreed to kill the story. And we must also
assume that all of the other radio editors in greater New York were
contacted -- the Brooklyn Eagle, the Bronx Home News, the Staten Island
Advance, the Long Island Press, and other smaller fry. They too would
have to have agreed to stifle the story. And then there are the papers in
Jersey to [removed]
And then, we would have to assume that WOR's public relations staff got
on the phone to the trade press: Variety, Radio Daily, The Billboard,
Sponsor, and Broadcasting and Telecasting Magazine. All of these
publications, which prided themselves on telling the inside story of what
was really happening in the radio business, would have had to agree to
squelch what would have undoubtedly been a major story.
Some may choose to believe that this is what occured. But I'm afraid I
can't -- there are too many coincidences, and to believe that they all
happened and then were carefully covered up assumes a media conspiracy of
X-Files proportions. I'm as cynical as anyone could be who spent fifteen
years in working newsrooms -- but I'm *not* cynical enough to believe
that.
It would be a simple matter for any OTR-Digest reader in the New York
City area to visit the NYPL and confirm that no "Uncle Don Fired after
Finally Saying It" stories appear in any of the 2/10/49 papers or in the
issues of the major broadcast/show business trade publications closest to
that [removed] see only two possibilities: either the entire working press
of early 1949 agreed in unison to stifle a big story -- for the sake of a
man well-known to industry insiders as a jerk -- or the incident didn't
happen at all. It's clear what I think -- but judge for yourself.
It is a fact that Uncle Don's career was slowing down in the late forties
-- perhaps due to his personal habits, as Lee suggests, but even more
likely because his style of program had long since gone out of fashion.
Uncle Don was one of the last full time "radio uncles" in the business,
and after twenty years, it is reasonable to suggest that his style might
simply have grown stale alongside the rootin' tootin' adventure serials
then in vogue among the kiddie set.
I found him to be a very pleasant, welcoming, gentle man who knew his
downfall was his own fault. He was very nice to me in this one tiny slice of
his life, but a meaningful episode for me.
I don't question that Lee met someone working in a New Jersey circus
after 1949 who claimed to be Uncle Don: he says he met such a man, and
that's enough for me. However, it is a fact that Howard Rice retired to
Florida after leaving WOR and remained there until his death in 1954 --
broadcasting regularly over station WKAT. That being the case, it seems
reasonable to question whether this circus performer was actually who he
claimed to be -- or whether he might have been pulling his young friend's
leg.
I don't blame people for *wanting* to believe that Uncle Don Really Said
It -- it's a great story. But great stories and authentic history aren't
always the same thing.

For a portion of its run, "Matinee with Bob and Ray" on

There was a Mission Bell jingle which was played, featuring
a deep-bass vocalist. On one program, rather than play the
spot record, B&R had their musicians Ken Wilson & Bill Green
play the theme, while Ray, in his Mary Margaret McGoon voice,
sang the song. That was and still is something to hear!
Of course, there was also Petri Wine, sponsor of The New
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, well-sold on the program
by the esteemed Harry Bartell.
I actually saw some large jugs of Petri Wine in a local grocery
store in the late 1980s, but I haven't seen it since then.
Italian Swiss Colony was heavily advertised on TV into the
sixties, with its cute "li'l ol' winemaker me" character
voiced by Jim Backus.

Suspense, Have Gun Will Travel, and Gunsmoke, but it also included local
news, local station breaks, and a few local commercials from the Dallas
station it was recorded on. I know there's another similar 90 minute block
from the 1950's. We also know that there are the complete broadcast day

Sorry, but no way.
Besides the fact that Uncle Don spent his entire career vehemently denying
this rumor is the even more inconvenient fact that this legend was in
circulation before Uncle Don ever took to the airwaves. (Folklorist Jan
Harold Brunvand was kind enough to send me a 1920s clipping from the Los

first broadcast.)
There were numerous indiscretions, which made it increasingly difficult
for WOR/Mutual to keep that part of his life out of the papers and away
from his audience, the little kiddies and their parents. This has been
depicted in some detail in several books, including his own biography.
The same biography, that is, in which an entire chapter is devoted to
explaining that the "little bastards" rumor was completely false. Of
course, his biography is only accurate when it deals with the parts you
want to believe, right?
To this day, radio engineers especially WOR alumni insist that this is
only a legend, and it never happened. Of course they would!
"All the people who can definitively refute this rumor are lying" is a
tenet of conspiracy theory, invoked to explain away inconvenient negative
evidence.
I've read all the stuff about how THE incident is now alleged to have
occurred earlier to a different "Uncle" in a different city. And maybe it
did; it's not even unlikely. So what? I will never be convinced that Don
Carney was not the semi-innocent victim of a most unfortunate few

Yes, by an amazing coincidence, multiple radio uncles uttered the
very same unfortunate phrase, all of them making the tragic mistake of
speaking it into a live microphone.

Hey guys, this is that silly old dame Gloria who posed the question about

listened to. To preface my small story I remind you of that and the fact
that my parents were a lonnnnng way from having any extra money and as
products of the depression were loathe to spend on even the simplest do-dad
so I had to earn my own money, which for a girl was not often much. I ate
gallons of Cheerios for the box tops and sent in a buck something. It was
the first and last premium I ever got because what I got back [removed],
behold the glorious Frontier Town of the the Lone Ranger stories. The

punch out or cut out, but half of the little houses and stores ripped apart
when I tried to get them together. I never again bothered to get another
premium. In retrospect (not unusual) I wish now I had.
And can anyone in Seattle or close tell me if there is a local station
that airs any OTR programs. I know someone mentioned Jim French doing
something up here and he's a very old timer around here so I could put out a
