     From Those Were The Days

    12/26

    1953   Big Sister was heard for the last time on CBS. The show had been
    on the air for 17 years. Big Sister was the ongoing story of Sue Evans
    Miller and her relationship with her big sister, Ruth Evans. Actresses
    who played big sister Ruth over the years: Alice Frost, Nancy Marshall,
    Marjorie Anderson, Mercedes McCambridge. Little Sister Sue was played by
    Haila Stoddard, Dorothy McGuire, Peggy Conklin and Fran Carlon.

    1954   One of radio's most popular programs, The Shadow, lurked around
    the airwaves for the last time. Vigilante crime fighter Lamont Cranston
    battled greed and corruption since 1930. "Who knows what evil lurks in
    the hearts of men? The Shadow [removed]"

    12/27

    1932   Radio City Music Hall, in New York City, opened. It was the
    largest indoor theatre in the world. The gala grand opening show was a
    six hour extravaganza that lost half a million dollars within three
    weeks. The theatre has since been renovated to recapture its original
    decorative charm. An Art Deco cathedral of entertainment, it seats more
    than 6,200 people and is still a must see for those visiting New York.
    During the holiday season, audiences continue to get a kick out of
    seeing the world famous Rockettes perform in precision on Radio City
    Music Hall's nearly 10,000 square foot stage.

    1939   The Glenn Miller Show, also known as Music that Satisfies,
    started on CBS. The 15 minute, twice a week show was sponsored by
    Chesterfield cigarettes and was heard for nearly three years.

    1940   Singer Al Jolson and actress Ruby Keeler were divorced after 12
    years of marriage. They had separated a year earlier; but Jolson talked
    Keeler into co starring with him in the Broadway show, Hold on to Your
    Hats. She left the show before the opening and then left the marriage.

    1968   The Breakfast Club signed off for the last time on ABC, after 35
    years on the air.

    12/28

    1941   The Helen Hayes Theater, on CBS, was called the first casualty of
    World War II. Lipton Tea dropped sponsorship of the program as it
    prepared for shortages in tea imports from India.

    12/29

    1945   The mystery voice of Mr. Hush was heard for the first time on
    Truth or Consequences, hosted by Ralph Edwards. The feature was intended
    as a spoof of giveaway shows. However, the idea was taken seriously and
    lasted five weeks before fighter Jack Dempsey was identified as Mr. Hush
    for a prize of $13,500.  ($159,219 in 2009 dollars).

    12/30

    1936   The famous feud between Jack Benny and Fred Allen was ignited.
    After a 10 year old performer finished a violin solo on The Fred Allen
    Show.  Allen's comment on the East Coast broadcast was, "What do you
    know, Murray? A little fella in the fifth grade at school and already he
    plays better than Jack Benny."  This got four seconds of laughter, and
    the show moved on.  It didn't take long for Mr. Benny to respond. The
    humorous feud lasted until Allen's death in 1956.

    1942   Mr. and Mrs. North debuted on NBC. Joseph Curtin played Jerry
    North and Alice Frost played Pam. A typical Mr. and Mrs. North episode
    would find Pam leading Jerry on what seemed to be a wild goose chase as
    they tracked down criminals. Pam always ended up being right and leading
    police to the criminals. The theme song for the show was The Way You
    Look Tonight. Sponsors included Woodbury soap, Jergens lotion and Halo
    shampoo.

    12/31

     From This Day in History --

    1929 - Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians' first New Year's Eve
    broadcast from the Roosevelt Grill in New York City, which became an
    annual event, was heard over the CBS network.

     From Those Were The Days

    1940   As a result of a dispute between the radio networks and ASCAP
    (the American Society of Composers and Publishers), the radio industry
    was prevented from playing any ASCAP licensed music. The ban lasted for
    ten months. An ASCAP competitor, BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated) made
    giant strides, expanding to include 36,000 copyrights. Many radio
    stations had to resort to playing public domain songs, such as marches
    and operas, to keep their stations on the air. Even kids songs were
    played over and over again until the ban was lifted. One of the most
    popular songs to be played was Happy Birthday to You; which was
    performed in many different languages just to get past the ban. The
    original song is now, in fact, a copyrighted piece of music, though it
    wasn't at the time.

    1947   Roy Rogers, 'the King of the Cowboys', and Dale Evans were
    hitched in marriage. They rode off into that sunset together for over
    fifty years.

    1/1

    1923   The very first radio broadcast of the Rose Bowl was beamed in Los
    Angeles over KHJ.

    1925   Lucrezia Bori and John McCormack of the famous Metropolitan Opera
    in New York City made their singing debuts on radio this day. The
    broadcast over WEAF encouraged others to sing on radio.

    1927   The very first coast to coast network radio broadcast of the Rose
    Bowl was made. Graham McNamee provided the play by play on NBC.

    1930   The Cuckoo Hour, was heard for the first time on the NBC Blue
    network.

    Joe Salerno inquires if Fred Foy was the last surviving member of
    that famed Lone Ranger series.

    Fred may be the last one on the show who had adult roles. But two of
    those at WXYZ who had kid roles are still with us and regularly
    attend OTR conventions. I refer to, of course, Dick Beals and Elaine
    Hyman. There are probably a few [removed]

    Fred's family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations should
    be made to the USO in Fred's memory. The Metro Washington OTR Club
    has already made such a donation and we urge other clubs to do the
    same. For individual Digesters who also wish to contribute, the
    address is:

    his daughter:

    Incidentally the two best obituaries I've seen on Fred were the one

    be accessed on the Internet.

    We will present a tribute to Fred Foy on Heritage Radio Theatre on The Olde
    Tyme Radio Network on the week of January 2nd and will include several
    recorded bits from various interviews and our own production of "Meanwhile
    Back At The Ranch"   Also on the show, will be Fred's only show as "The Lone
    Ranger" when Brace Beemer was
    ill.   Keep in mind that the family has suggested that in lieu of flowers,
    [removed] that donations be made to the USO in memory of Fred's service in WW
    II.

    Kelly, Howard Hawks, Lena Horne, Ray Bolger, Ruby Keeler, Harold Lloyd,
