    Ann Sothern was in Private Secretary which ran on CBS from 1953 to 1957. She
    appeared in 62 OTR shows according to [removed] but this is not
    complete list since she was in more than that many Adventures of Maisie
    shows. The [removed] list includes several shows she was in beside
    the Maisie series so she she probably has been in over a 100 OTR episodes of
    different shows.

    Subject:  RE: Johnny Dollar

    For sure the post-5-part YTJD series is well done, but don't shortchange the
    5-parters.

    Yes, there is a need to recap, usually through dialogue, but it's relatively
    minor. I listened to the whole 5-part run in a set that's circulating where
    the openings and closings between shows are removed and you just go
    show-to-show as if it was one. It wasn't that annoying, thought it was
    obvious.

    There are some clunkers, but it's usually the whole story line ("Laird
    Douglas Douglas of Heatherscote" comes to mind), and sometimes the 3rd
    episode kind of floats in mid-air like styrofoam packing to keep parts 1&2
    away from 4&5.

    But the thing Johnstone could do in the 5-parters was more character
    development. In fact, if you listen to the 5-parters first, you pick up
    things about JD that are only hinted at in future episodes.

    The most surprising to me is when it moved to NY that the Johnstone writing
    was still very much the essence of the show, despite the canned music and the
    change in ensamble, and most important, the fact that those shows actually
    got shorter by a couple of minutes or so.

    Speaking of Johnstone, does anyone have interviews or recordings of him? What
    other series did he work on? Are there any episodes prior to the 5-part run
    that he did? I don't remember hearing him get credited before that run.

    Subject:  Radio Horrors

    Chris Holm asked about radio horrors.  The answer would depend on your
    definition of horror.  Sorry to be technical but this might make the same
    topic that was discussed last year a bit more interesting.

    Anything that is scary could be considered horror.  My sister-in-law will
    not allow my nieces (under the age of 6) to watch Disney's SNOW WHITE AND
    THE SEVEN DWARFS because of the mean old witch and little Brea actually is
    scared of the witch.  Cinderella is okay, big mean witch - no.

    Back in the 1930s and 1940s, "horror" was actually defined as blood and
    thunder style murder mysteries.  Inner Sanctum, The Thin Man, even Mr. and
    Mrs. North was considered a "horror" program.  Horror has a bigger meaning
    today as we refer to those mystery programs of the past as "mysteries" but
    back then they were "horror."

    QUIET, PLEASE would be classified as "Fantasy," not horror, because the
    stories ranged from romance to science-fiction.  Very few had horror
    elements and that's all it had - elements.  Not the mood of creepy and
    scary.

    CAPE COD MYSTERY THEATRE entitled "The Caller on Line One" is wonderfully
    performed and suspenseful, but I don't think it qualifies as a horror drama.
      Neither would "The Judas Clock" on INNER SANCTUM MYSTERY or "Never Steal a
    Butcher's Wife" on SUSPENSE.  Thrillers, slightly suspenseful yes.  Horror,
    no.

    I know Chris included a few comedies in his list because they are
    Halloween-themed but if one wants to be technical, here are some truly scary
    episodes that qualify as horror for what they are worth.

    ESCAPE  "Three Skeleton Key"  November 15, 1949 production is the best.

    HALL OF FANTASY  "The Crawling Thing"

    MURDER AT MIDNIGHT  "Terror Out of Space"  Syndicated, February 24, 1947 NYC
    airdate.
    This episode has been overlooked many times but has to be one of the
    scariest dramas done on that series and very effective.

    THE HALL OF FANTASY  "The Crawling Thing"

    THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER  "Behind the Locked Door"  May 24, 1949
    This series had a number of great horrors (and a number of stinkers) but
    this is the only one that is known to exist in circulation of the great
    horrors that they did.

    SUSPENSE had a number of them.

    "Ghost Hunt" with Ralph Edwards  June 23, 1949

    "The Trap"  with Agnes Moorehead  June 16, 1949  (often overlooked)

    "The House in Cypress Canyon"  December 5, 1946

    and "The Hitch-Hiker"  September 2, 1942
    I list this on the bottom of the list to state that when Orson Welles did
    this drama for SUSPENSE, he did a magnificent job.  However, if you've never
    heard this one before or haven't heard it in a while, I suggest the entry
    listed below.

    THE MERCURY SUMMER THEATER ON THE AIR  "The Hitch-Hiker"  June 21, 1946
    version
    This production was the fourth and final time Welles did the drama and this
    production actually out-does the SUSPENSE production.  Listen to this with
    perfect clarity and not a fuzzy multi-generation sound quality to enjoy it's
    flavor.  One of the best horror productions done on radio.

    Chris listed "The Dunwich Horror" with Ronald Coleman from November 1, 1945.
      The story it was based on, by [removed] Lovecraft, is a great story but the
    SUSPENSE production is hampered by the awful sound quality - the scratching
    of the transcription disc when it was transferred.  I have never heard a
    great sounding copy of this episode and no one seems to have one.  Even if
    the sound quality was remastered and cleaned, the adaptation isn't spooky
    like it should be.

    Chris also listed "The Wailing Wall" from SUSPENSE.  That was never done on
    SUSPENSE.  That's one of those INNER SANCTUM episodes where someone edited
    the opening and closing theme from INNER SANCTUM and replaced it with
    SUSPENSE.  Often found on MP3 format, that is really an INNER SANCTUM
    episode, not a SUSPENSE.

    THE SHADOW
    "Dead Men Walk"   Popularly circulating in collector hands, the ending is so
    horrifying I am shocked censors did not censor the demise of the villain.

    THE CBS RADIO MYSTERY THEATER  "The Ghost-Grey Bat"  March 25, 1981
    The last 15 minutes of this episode is true horror.

    ESCAPE  "The Earth Abides"  November 5 and 12, 1950.  While some might
    debate it's science-fiction, this is a great horror story and a superb
    production.

    ESCAPE  "Casting the Runes"  November 19, 1947  While the production isn't
    superb, the story is exceptional horror.

    FAVORITE STORY  "The Lottery"  1947-1949 syndication

    MYSTERY IN THE AIR  "Mask of Medusa"  stars Peter Lorre.   summer of 1947

    THE FIFTH HORSEMAN  "Dawn"  with William Bendix  July 11, 1946
    Should have had somebody other than Bendix for this role but the script is
    creepy.

    I LOVE A MYSTERY  "The Temple of the Vampires"  January 22 to February 16,
    1940 version

    I LOVE A MYSTERY  "The Monster in the Mansion"  October 6 to November 27,
    1941 version is a close second

    INNER SANCTUM MYSTERY  "The Button"  Stars Raymond Edward Johnson in a
    one-man performance as a man jailed for a crime he did not commit, locked in
    darkness and solitude, who finds a way of keeping himself occupied and from
    going insane by flipping his shirt button into the air and finding it by
    listening to where it lands and rolls.  Towards the end, the button
    accidentally lands on a spider's web and he goes insane.  Was performed
    twice, February 28, 1943 production is memorable.  Doesn't exist in recorded
    form, but the script does and Johnson's voice would have made this one of
    the most memorable of the series.

    TEXACO STAR THEATER  "Alter Ego"  October 5, 1938 with Bette Davis

    If you want to scare yourself this Halloween, these come recommended.

    Subject:  Re: Johnny Dollar

        Many of the multi-part Johnny Dollar "Matters" during the 1955-56
    portion of the series run used scripts that were originally written for a
    half-hour format.

        The following text is from an article, "Produce It Again, Sam: The Reuse
    of Scripts During the Golden Age of Radio" which appeared in the April, 2006
    issue of The Old Radio Times.  The entire issue along with the complete
    article, can be downloaded at:
    [removed]

    . . . At least sixteen multi-part episodes that aired during the 1955-56
    portion of JOHNNY DOLLAR's run reused earlier 30-minutes DOLLAR scripts and
    scripts from other series that were written or co-written by E. Jack Neuman.
    Neuman used a pen name, John Dawson, for those 1955-56 efforts. It was
    necessary to approximately double the length of the original, half-hour
    scripts for the five nights a week, 15-minute format.  Episode titles,
    locales, and character names were altered, and scenes and dialog were added.

         A few examples of half-hour JOHNNY DOLLAR scripts by Neuman which
    became multi-part episodes by Dawson are:  The Story Of The Big Red
    Schoolhouse, (co-written by John Michael Hayes) and The Underwood Matter
    which became The Clinton Matter and The Henderson Matter respectively.  The
    Story Of The Big Red Schoolhouse also became THE ADVENTURES OF SAM SPADE
    episode The Civic Pride Caper by Hayes.

         Scripts from an NBC NIGHTBEAT episode, Big John McMasters, by Neuman
    and Hayes and the JOHNNY DOLLAR episode, The San Antonio Matter, by Neuman
    were merged to produce the multi-part script for The Valentine Matter with
    Dawson credited as the writer.

         At least four JEFF REGAN, INVESTIGATOR scripts by Neuman were reused
    for the 1955-56 multi-part run of JOHNNY DOLLAR with extensive script
    alterations and additions made by Neuman's alter ego, Dawson.
    An example is the script, The Prodigal Daughter, which was reused as The
    Pearling Matter.
    One REGAN script, The Man Who Came Back, was reused twice on JOHNNY DOLLAR,
    first as the half-hour The Elliott Champion Matter with Neuman credited as
    the writer and the multiple-part The Bennett Matter with Dawson receiving
    the writing credits. . . .

    . . . At least one JOHNNY DOLLAR script was used on SUSPENSE.  The
    multiple-part JOHNNY DOLLAR episode, The Curse Of Kamashek Matter, by Jack
    Johnstone was condensed and reused during the last SUSPENSE season as The
    Curse Of Kamoshek; for which Johnstone used a pen name, Jonathan Bundy. . .
     .
    Here is a listing of the JOHNNY DOLLAR multi-part episodes by John Dawson
    and the script(s) on which they were based:

    October 17 - 21, 1955 Chesapeake Fraud Matter  based on
    JOHNNY DOLLAR - December 26, 1952  The Walter Patterson Matter

    October 31, - November 04, 1955  Valentine Matter based on

    and

    JOHNNY DOLLAR - January 09, 1953  The Thelma Ibsen Matter

    Subject:  YTJD 5-parts

    Several interesting comments concerning the single-part episodes of YTJD
    versus the 5-part episodes.  Thanks for sharing them with me.

    I totally agree that trying to keep track of the program over a 5-day period
    is difficult and that is why a good portion of the show is devoted to recap.
    But to what extent?  The episode that I originally brought up, The Silver
    Queen Matter, shall be used as an example.

    The intro ... just after the phone rings ... I will concede is recap even
    though the first episode has nothing to do with recap.  Total intro time over
    5 episodes: 4:33.  After the music, Johnny goes into another recap as he
    updates his expense repot.  Total Recap over 5 episodes: 3:55.  Grand total:
    8:27.

    Then there is the story line.  While I will admit that there are times within
    the story where conversation turns to past event, I really don't want to call
    it recap.  Total storyline over 5 episodes: 49:41.

    As to the comment about there being too much "chatter", that is a matter of
    opinion I guess.  Even if the entire 26 minutes of the single-part episodes
    were devoted to the story line, it really doesn't compare to the 49:41
    example above.  To the other extreme, doing away with all that is
    unnecessary, one might hear an episode that goes something like:

    " .... Johnny Dollar.  I was called by Joe to go to NYC.  A diamond was
    missing and it turned out that, even though everyone thought that the husband
    did it, the wife's dog ate it.  Yours Truly ..."

    Thanks for the opinions and ideas.  That is what the digest is all about.

    still exist?

    The title was indeed "Private Secretary."   When it went into
    syndication as reruns in the mid-fifties the syndicated version was
    titled "Susie."  If memory serves me correct both versions used the same
    animated opening.

    The program appeard on Nick at Nite in the late 80's and the animated
    opening was not used, instead they redid the opening using a montage of
    scenes and the program was titled "Susie."

    I don't know why I know this.

    Subject:  Reels for sale

    I have several boxes of reels.  A few are missing
    reel-listing sheets but it is clearly marked what the
    reels contain.  Many are without boxes because that is
    how they were stored.  There are 354 and I was asking
    $300 + shipping (media mail).  I will include a reel
    deck as well a guarantee that if any reel turns up
    with no description, that I will try to locate it for
    you.  If interested, please e-mail me off the list.
    These reels go back to the late 1970's with a majority
    of them accumulated furing the 1980's.  All are
    recorded in 1/4-track format, 3 3/4 ips and most are
    1800-feet on either Ampex or equivalent.  I stopped
    using DAK and Shamrock early on, so those brands are
    not well-represented.
