    Subject:  Chico Marx' Orchestra

    I know that there was five Marx Brothers and the most famous of them was
    Groucho, Chico, Zeppo, and later another one came along and joined the group,
     Harpo.  There also was a fifth that never joined the group and if he did
    it  was only in the very first movie.
    I was just going through an old issue of a magazine, (Movie-Radio Guide),
    which talked about the movies of the time and also talked about the radio
    programs that they had then.
    I also noticed that there was one program that stared Chico Marx and he had
     his own orchestra, the Chico Marx Orchestra.
    That is new to me and I was wondering if there is anyone out there  that
    knows anything about Chico and his orchestra.

    Subject:  Salinger on radio

    With the recent news of the passing of the great novelist Jerome David
    Salinger, I was wondering if Salinger ever graced the OTR airwaves. I have
    long been quite a fan of Salinger's oeuvre so much so that I once adopted
    "Holden" as my middle name.

    There was, of course, the "Lux Radio Theatre" production of the film "My
    Foolish Heart," which was based on one of Salinger's New Yorker short stories
    "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut."  Having seen the movie version, I can see --
    given the liberties the screenplay took with the original short story -- just
    why Salinger folded up tent and never again allowed his works to be adaptaed
    in Hollywood.

    Since "The Catcher in the Rye" was considered quite controversial in the
    early 1950s, I was wondering if there were any OTR references to it. Was it
    ever discussed on book discussion forums and other type of "egghead" shows?
    Did Chester A. Riley have a fit when he found a copy of "Catcher" in Junior's
    room?

    Students!

    Thanks in advance,

    Derek Holden Tague (which serendipitously is an anagram of "a golden ether
    duke")
