A quick question:
Was the Blue network an independent network, or was it a part of a bigger
network?

Read is correct - I listened to such a program myself, just a couple of
weeks ago.  I believe it was from 1940 or 41, and it got my ear for the
very reason that they _were_ in the same scene.

Maybe one of you kind folk could [removed]

One of the gentlemen instrumental in getting the Saint on radio was his
friend and agent James L. Saphier. However I am unable to find out much about
him.

If anyone has any bright ideas as to where I can look for more information,
or knows what else he got up to, or whether he's still [removed] simply
knows of something else he's credited with (some Saint shows ended "A James
L. Saphier Production")-- I would love to know.

Thanks in advance.

Like you I heard that, but many of the episodes I have listened to do indeed
have all three characters. In fact I have heard a number of them where Molly
is talking to the little girl and vice versa. It is amazing how easily she
switched voices without dropping a beat!

Just discovered this service tonight. I am a newcomer to the net and am 
enjoying it so far.  I have always been a fan of old time radio and have 
a small collection of old radio shows. The ones I enjoy most are those 
that include the original commercials.  I also have a small collection of 
old radios and my pride and joy is an old Rock-Ola jukebox that plays 
78's at a nickel a pop. (I also am a big fan of the big bands).
As for the present, I operate an aircraft charter service in NW Pa.  That 
keeps me on the road constantly and gives me a chance to tune in radio 
stations all over and hopefully pick up the old radio shows.  The first 
thing I did was download the stations broadcasting the old shows. Great.
Thanks for the opportunity to make myself heard.

Dave.

	It makes sense, but it doesn't seem to fit the facts.  First of all,
I mostly use reel-to-reel, although it's just as likely to be off-speed.
I know all about speed and pitch problems.  I was ecstatic when the 
station got it's first Otari with pitch control.  Until then I had been 
making due with one or more layers of masking tape around the capstan (do 
you know that a piece of tape the width of a razor blade will fit perfectly 
around a standard Scully capstan?).  This was a very poor solution, but it 
helped.
	I'm talking about shows that just plain run longer than the alloted 
28 1/2 minutes, when on-speed.  The network might not like it, but what 
did they do?  Cut the show off and go to the next feed?  I find that late 
40's shows seem to run more like 29 or 29 1/2 minutes, start to finish.  
The network announcements were often included as part of the show.  Of course 
on some airchecks we also here the local IDs after the end of the shows. 
I've even heard airchecks that start with a local spot, time check, and 
[removed], but these are much less common.
