Subject:  Re: Father Knows Best? Really?

Dixon Hayes asked about "Father Knows Best":

I see it repeated several times as an unsourced article  of faith, that the
radio show always ended in a question mark. Title: 'Father Knows Best?'  And
perhaps that would fit the differently-styled character for the radio
version of Jim Anderson.

I don't have my copy in front of me, but in Jeff Kisselhoff's oral history of
television, "The Box," Robert Young is quoted as saying that the series, when
first conceived for radio, was to be called "Father Knows Best?" because
(approximate quote here) "everyone knows that it's really the mother."  Young
then explained that when he and his partner tried to sell the show, the
interested sponsor, Lorillard Tobacco (for Kent cigarettes), liked everything
except the title.  "The deal hinged on dropping the question mark," said
Young.

So, although conceived as "Father Knows Best?" the radio series never aired
that way.

Incidentally, Young also said that, owing to the success of the show, people
would solicit him for advice about raising their children.  He'd ask them why
they were asking, and they'd invariably reply, "Because of 'Father Knows
Best.'"  His reply: "That is a script written by writers.  Life isn't written
by writers."

 From Those Were The Days

9/25

1933   America=s favorite cowboy, Tom Mix, was heard for the first time
on NBC. The Tom Mix Ralston Straight Shooters continued on the air until
June 1950.

9/27

1933   NBC debuted Waltz Time, featuring the orchestra of Abe Lymon. The
program continued on the network until 1948.

1938   Thanks for the Memory was heard for the first time on The Bob
Hope Show on the NBC Red network.

9/28

1936   Bachelor's Children debuted on CBS (at 9:45 [removed]) in addition to
its schedule on the Mutual Network (at 10:15 [removed]). The show's theme
song, Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life, opened the 15 minute, critically
acclaimed, daily serial. Bachelor's Children became very popular because
of its natural dialogue which made folks think they were hearing a real
event. Bachelor's Children ... brought to you by Old Dutch Cleanser,
Palmolive Peet Soap, Colgate Toothpaste and Wonder Bread.

1939   The final broadcast of The Fleischmann Hour was heard. The star
of the show, Rudy Vallee, wrapped things up after a decade of
entertaining radio.

9/29

1920   Radios for 10 bucks! That's what Joseph Horne Company's
department store in Pittsburgh, PA was selling. The radios were
advertised in The Pittsburgh Sun for $10 ($106 in 2009 dollars)  and up.
One could get a ready made radio in a box with headphones and tuning
knob. This way, one could do away with the Quaker Oats round box and the
cat's whisker wire, which was a pain to tune.

1930   "This is Lowell Thomas." Those words were spoken for the first
time as a young Lowell Thomas made his debut on CBS. He replaced Floyd
Gibbons on the nightly (6:45 [removed]), 15 minute newscast. Thomas, who
started as a reporter for the New York Daily News (at age 19), was heard
on the radio for the next 46 years.

1930   "Ba, ba, ba, boo. I will, ba ba ba boo ... marry you!" Bing
Crosby, America's premier crooner for decades, married Dixie Lee.

1940   Double or Nothing was first heard on Mutual. Each time
contestants answered questions correctly, their winnings would double
from $20 to $40 to the big payoff of $80.  ($302, $605 and $605 in 2009
dollars: [removed]) If they gave an incorrect
answer, they were gone! Nobody bet on long how long the show would last.
Good thing. It kept going for a dozen years. Among the sponsors: Feen A
Mint, Chooz breath candy and Campbell's soup.

1946   Mystery fans remember when The Adventures of Sam Spade debuted on
CBS this Sunday night. (It had aired in the summer of 1946 on ABC on
Friday nights.) The Adventures of Sam Spade, with Howard Duff playing
Spade, became a big hit in the Sunday night radio lineup. And now a word
from our sponsor: "Use Wildroot Cream Oil, Charlie ... it keeps your
hair in [removed]"

9/30

1930   Death Valley Days was first heard on the NBC Red network this day
(and) became one of radio's biggest hits. The 30 minute, Western
adventure series starred Tim Daniel Frawley as the Old Ranger, Harvey
Hays as the Old Prospector, John White as the Lonesome Cowboy, Edwin
Bruce as Bobby Keen, Robert Haag as Sheriff Mark Chase and Olyn Landick
as Cassandra Drinkwater.

The tales heard on Death Valley Days were all based on fact and were
human interest stories revolving around the borax mining town of Death
Valley, California. The show was created by Ruth Woodman, a script
writer for a New York ad agency. She had never seen Death Valley; but
had found the vehicle to sell 20 Mule Team Borax. As time went on, Ms.
Woodman did make a trip to Death Valley. She went back again and again
after that, digging up facts for her scripts. She even met an honest to
goodness old ranger, Wash Cahill, who knew everyone and everything about
the mining town.

Death Valley Days was renamed Death Valley Sheriff in 1944 and The
Sheriff in 1945. And Ruth Woodman continued to write the scripts. She
even wrote scripts when Death Valley Days became a TV show. Buy some 20
Mule Team Borax in commemoration.

1933   The theme song was Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here and it opened
the National Barn Dance. The half hour country music and comedy show,
originally heard on WLS, Chicago since 1924, moved to the NBC Blue
network this night. National Barn Dance was broadcast from the Eighth
Street Theater in Chicago, where the stage was transformed into a
hayloft every Saturday night. The host was Joe Kelly. Uncle Ezra was
played by Pat Barrett who was known to say, "Give me a toot on the
tooter, Tommy," as he started dancing. A few of the other Barn Dance
characters were Arkie, the Arkansas Woodchopper; Pokey Martin; the
Hoosier Hotshots; the Prairie Ramblers; cowgirl, Patsy Montana; Pat
Buttram; Lulu Belle and the Cumberland Road Runners. Gene Autry and Red
Foley were heard early in their careers on National Barn Dance. Although
there were plenty of sponsors (Alka Seltzer, One A Day vitamins,
Phillips Milk of Magnesia), the National Barn Dance was one of the few
radio shows to charge admission.

1935   "Calling all [removed]" The Adventures of Dick Tracy came to radio
for the first time on the Mutual Radio Network. Based on the comic strip
created by Chester Gould, the 15 minute adventure show was heard Monday
thru Friday at 5:45 [removed] The sponsors were Quaker Puffed Wheat and
Quaker Puffed Rice.

10/1

1942   People Are Funny went on the air with host Art Baker.

Does anyone know what the "Mister Macabre" episode that purports to be an
episode of Inner Sanctum is from?  Re-creation, other country? The sound
quality is terrible to the point of mostly being unlistenable.
