 From Those Were The Days

5/5

1935   The program, Rhythm at Eight, made its debut. The star of the
show was 24 year old Ethel Merman. Though Merman would become a legend
years later, she didn't fare so well on radio. Her show was taken off
the air after 13 weeks and Miss Merman returned to her first love, Broadway.

5/6

1937   A student of history, a broadcaster or anyone interested in news
coverage, will remember this day and the words of NBC's Herbert
Morrison. "Oh, the humanities!" Morrison's emotion filled historic
broadcast of the explosion of the dirigible, Hindenburg at Lakehurst,
NJ, became the first recorded coast to coast broadcast as it was carried
on both the NBC Red and NBC Blue networks from New York City.

5/9

1936   Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy started their own radio show on
NBC only months after they had debuted on Rudy Vallee's program. [removed]
Fields, Don Ameche and Dorothy Lamour were a few of the stars that
helped Bergen and the little blockhead, McCarthy, jump to the top of
radio's hit parade.

5/10

1927   The Hotel Statler in Boston, MA. became the first hotel to
install radio headsets in each of its 1,300 rooms.

5/11

1946 - Jack Barry hosted "Juvenile Jury" on WOR radio in New York City.
The show was such a hit after five weeks on the air that it debuted on
the Mutual Broadcasting System coast to coast.

Anyone on the digest know Walter Vincent a recording engineer in the greater
LA area? Walter is the grandson of the late G. Robert Vincent who founded the
voice library at Michigan State University.
