    Subject:  Flo Gibson has died.

    Although this article focuses on her audio book narration, there is mention
    of her playing on west-coast radio serials, including Pat Novak for Hire.
    Does anyone know other series she was on? None of the Novak shows list her
    in the cast, though many of them are from AFRS, and don't list the
    supporting players.

    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

    When David Nelson died last week, the AP obit included this  flub:

    **The show originated on radio in 1952 as "Here Come the Nelsons,  then ran
    for 320 episodes on TV from 1952 to 1966 as The Adventures of  Ozzie and
    Harriet with some of the story lines taken from the stars' own  lives. ***

    Obviously it originated much earlier as"The Adventures of Ozzie &  Harriet"
    and "Here Come the Nelsons" was the 1952 movie.  What in the world  keeps
    happening to these people?  Is OTR so remote and "old" that some of  these
    reporters have to blow the facts this badly to keep their hip "street  cred"
    or are the researchers that sloppy?

    Subject:  Re: Wrong Jack Benny program?

    Hello again --

    I'm confused. In OTR DIgest V2011-10 Alan and Linda Bell say that
    the Benny program where he decks Rochester was on 2-5-39, but in my version
    of
    the program Rochester doesn't even appear. In this episode Jack hires a
    bodyguard (who later
    robs him) to protect him from Fred Allen. The program starts with the
    orchestra playing "Just
    One of Those Things" as a bed to Don Wilson's Jello commercial.
    Is my tape marked wrong or could the Bells have written a typo?
    Could they please tell us about how far into the program this scene
    occurred?

    Thanks
    Jan Bach

    Subject:  Green Hornet movie ...

    Just saw "The Green Hornet" and was absolutely mortified!  The frat humor
    didn't bother me ... neither did the creative license that Seth Rogen took in
    tinkering with the origin story ... but the overblown violence and downright
    disregard for human life displayed by the "heroes" of this tale were just
    ghastly!  The beauty of the Hornet character was that his reputation for
    cold-bloodedness was contrasted with the fact that neither he nor Kato ever
    directly took a life.  The characters in THIS picture cause rampant
    destruction, with no regard for collateral damage.  It's the antithesis to
    the character we know and love, both in the radio AND TV denotations.  I'd
    love to see television give this character another chance, with his virtues
    and integrity intact. A great wasted opportunity that makes Alec Baldwin's
    "The Shadow" look like "The Godfather" by comparison.

    Subject:  Green Hornet music

    Long story short, Trendle was using public domain music, but there are other
    issues at hand when using music for radio broadcasts. There is a mechanical
    rights clearance, which means the payment of a fee to the person who recorded
    the music to disc or tape. Then there is a fee to the person or people who
    performed the music. Trendle paid companies (RCA, Columbia, etc.) that issued
    discs, for the rights to use their recordings, as well as paying others to
    compose and perform renditions of their own. (Thus Trendle would work out a
    deal for a one-time payment so he could reuse the same pieces repeatedly for
    years with NO ONE asking for royalties.) Even if the music is in the public
    domain (which means the writer of the music doesn't get paid unless the
    person using it has a good heart), there are other rights and fees to take
    into consideration such as above. If anything, the networks kept meticulous
    records of all music featured on their radio broadcasts, even more than the
    casting, because one slip meant lawsuits, not payments for royalties. That's
    how hard the music industry cracked down on the network.

    When "The Flight of the Bumblebee" was used in the movie, it was the same
    recording/rendition by Al Hirt. Hirt spruced up the Bumblebee for a jazzed up
    rendition and it was that rendition that was used in the movie (and yes,
    Hirt's estate is making extra cash for the use of his rendition in the movie).

    Subject:  A pageant to remember

    Over the weekend I watched the Miss America Pageant.  For the first time in
    a good while it appeared on a broadcast network (ABC), possibly due to it
    being the 90th anniversary and maybe the site of Las Vegas.  At any rate it
    stirred some good memories for me of so many years past (particularly the
    1960s to 1980s) when this was a highlight of every September on a Saturday
    night.  And almost all of those glitzy spectacles concluded with Bert Parks
    (Bertram Jacobson) singing "There she is ... Miss America ... there she is
    ... our ideal ...."

    In the intervening years much of the luster has fallen from the crown of the
    MAP, almost turning it into an apologetic performance interrupting a
    mid-winter's night, sans most of the glitz and, not just Bert, but his
    trademark song. But somebody somewhere in ABC took a notion this time to
    restore all of the pomp and circumstance, and I listened intently and ...
    there it was!  While the previous years' MA took her final bows, clearly
    wafting in the background was the orchestra playing that familiar tune, and
    then -- lo and behold -- Bert Parks himself singing it again.  Included was
    the mention of Atlantic City, even though the pageant departed that
    metropolis quite a while back.

    Bert died Feb. 2, 1992, in La Jolla, Calif., so he's been gone a long time.
    But some of his music lives on, and especially this signature piece.  Nobody
    could ever sing it like the dashing star with the flashing twinkle in his
    eyes.  First and foremost, while we may associate him with this show and
    with television, he got his start on radio where he was pervasive.  Only 16
    when hometown station WGST hired him in Atlanta, by 18 he was a CBS staff
    announcer in New York earning $50 weekly in Depression America (1933).  The
    litany of game shows he hosted that followed was impressive:  How'm I
    Doin'?, Break the Bank, Second Honeymoon, Stop the Music! -- all on radio --
    and on TV there was The Bert Parks Show, Double or Nothing, County Fair, The
    Big Payoff and Yours for a Song.  In between gigs he played the lead in
    Broadway's The Music Man and hosted a two-hour radio series called NBC
    Bandstand in the 50s that was eventually simulcast by NBC-TV.

    He was, to my thinking, "Mr." America.  The pageant did a good turn when
    they restored him and his fabulous singing this past weekend.

    Subject:  "Green Hornet" movie
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

            The recent "Green Hornet" movie, IMHO (in my humble opinion), is
    an atrocity!  At the very least, it should be termed a 'takeoff' from the
    "Green Hornet" television series of the 60's, and nothing more.  I've
    heard the OTR program "The Green Hornet" and it is much better than
    the movie. At least it gives you the feeling that something serious is
    going on.

           The movie is nothing more than a chance for comedians to utilize
    their talents onscreen while dressed as this character.

    As always,

    Kenneth Clarke

    Subject:  Lone Ranger broadcast

    Reading the newest Radiogram, it stated that there were 3268 episodes
    of the Lone Ranger. This is about four times  as many as the Jack
    Benny program which was on about the same number of years. How many
    times a week was the Lone Ranger broadcast?  I realize that if they
    were on during the summer when Benny was on vacation it would account
    for some, but not four times as many.
