    There's only one so far that has bothered me that way - I listened to it
    once and found it so upsetting I just can't listen to it again:  Its a
    Shadow episode from 12/10/39 called "Flight of the Vulture" - basically its
    about an insurance scam whereby the villans are substituting valuable race
    horses with old tired worn out horses in barns and burning the barns down
    to collect the insurance money.  I get upset thinking about it.  I've left
    it in my collection but its marked so I don't play it by mistake.

    V&S was *definitely* extension-spotted in Canada along with many other
    P&G daytime shows, probably beginning in 1940 and continuing until the
    end of the original run in 1944. However, extension-spotting discs were
    required to be destroyed or returned to the distributor after use, and
    it's most likely that when we speak of "Procter and Gamble destroying the
    transcriptions," it's these spotting discs that we're talking about. No
    evidence exists to suggest that the series was being recorded as a matter
    of course in the 1930s. (The NBC Collection at the LOC has 173 V&S
    episodes, none dating before 1939, and only a few scattered pre-1939
    episodes are currently known to exist from other sources.)

    The postwar syndication of "Easy Aces" was an anomaly, and came about
    only because several essential conditions were met -- it required that
    (1) a long run of the shows would have been recorded, in a format that
    would have been appropriate for rebroadcast (2) that the recordings would
    have been carefully preserved after their initial use, and (3) that they
    would have been owned by the copyright owner of the series. "Easy Aces"
    met all of these criteria -- the discs were high-quality recordings made
    off the network line by RCA Victor and initially distributed as vinyl
    pressings, meaning that the discs in Goodman Ace's possession were both
    chemically stable and resistant to breakage. Ace had carefully stored the
    discs in sleeves, keeping them in broadcast-quality condition, and he was
    also the copyright owner of the series itself. All he needed was a
    distributor, and he happened to hit Ziv at just the right time to make
    the deal happen. The only other example comparable to this that comes to
    mind is the 1960s syndication of "Lum and Abner," which again came about
    because the series had originally been recorded for extension spotting
    and copies of the discs had been carefully preserved by Lauck and Goff,
    the owners of the series.

    As easy as it is to condemn P&G for dumping its V&S discs (and does
    anyone actually have documentation for when and how this happened, or is
    it simply hearsay? I know Billy Idelson has told this story, but does
    anyone know where *he* got the story from? For that matter, do we know
    for a fact if it was P&G at all? The recordings were actually made for
    Compton Advertising, P&G's agency), one must keep in mind that *P&G had
    no legal claim on V&S.* It had no legal right to use or exploit the show
    beyond its initial broadcast, and from a purely business perspective
    destroying the recordings was the only reasonable thing to do.

    Had *Paul Rhymer* owned and preserved a run of discs, the possibility of
    syndication might have been different, since he was the copyright owner
    of the program and could have made an Ace/Ziv type of arrangement to
    distribute them. But even if P&G or Compton  had saved a pristine copy of
    every single V&S episode, they would have been legally powerless to do
    anything with them.

    Yes, and although the first version came out as "I Can Hear It Now--The
    Sixties", the cover was later changed to just a large picture of
    Cronkite instead of a collage of events, and a new title based on his
    catchphrase rather than Murrow's, "Walter Cronkite: The Way It Was--The
    Sixties" (CBS F3M-38858).

    A friend of mine who was a CBS radio news archivist in the 1970s worked
    on getting the clips for the album.  I remembered him telling me how
    busy they were under a short deadline, so when 1980 rolled around I
    asked him if they were busy getting the clips for a 1970s album.  "No",
    he sadly replied, because by that time CBS no longer had any interest in
    doing audio-only retrospectives, only video.  Hence no albums on the
    last three decades have come from CBS.

    There has been a slight break in this attitude at CBS.  In 1991 they
    issued a 2-CD set "The Words and Music of World War II" (C2K 48516)
    which contains a lot of material that was not in the Murrow album--but
    it does have a portion of the phony recording of Robert Trout announcing
    the end of the war which Trout admitted making specifically for the
    Murrow album.  I've noted a new repackaging of this CD set in the stores
    in the past couple of months--I think with a different title and
    catalogue number.  I am still hoping that if it sells this might
    convince them to reissue the Murrow recordings (with clear info on what
    is phony, and with the unissued album) and maybe fill in the years after
    1957.

    Ed Ellers asks if the Volume 4 I heard was at the CBS News archive or
    Sony Music Entertainment.  I assume both.  The tape I heard back in 1982
    was from the CBS Radio News Archive, and because it was a known source
    for CBS producers, my second friend at the CBS Radio News Archive had
    thought that EVERYBODY knew about it, and he was rather astonished when
    __I__ was astonished when he had casually mentioned it in conversation.
    Our assumptions are that the original master is at Columbia Records,
    which is now Sony.  But all of these questions are leading me to call up
    another friend who is a classical producer for the Columbia Legacy
    series to see what he knows about all this.

    A. Joseph Ross questioned Stephen Kallis's story about the 1948 issue
    date for the LP issue of the first volume because that was the year LPs
    were introduced.  The 78 RPM set MM 800 and the LP ML-4095 were both
    issued simultaneously in 1948.  Columbia's initial LP release was in
    June 1948, and by the July list they were already up to ML-4082 in that
    12-inch Masterworks series.  There's no reason to doubt its 1948
    release--the fact that the LP version was cheaper than the 78 set was
    used as a major selling point publicizing the LP format during the 1948
    Xmas season.

    BUT, he is correct that Stephen's story is mis-dated, but that is
    because of two other reasons.  Both the 45 RPM speed and the Broadway
    show "South Pacific" date from 1949.  (The show opened April 7, 1949.
    ML-4180 was issued a few months later--and was also priced MUCH less
    than the 78 set, MM-850.)  It would be impossible for his father to have
    bought a 3-speed turntable because they had no reason to exist till
    1949.  In fact, another statement in his story is wrong because it is
    not true that "even the earliest of the changers were 3-speed units".
    When Columbia introduced the LP they had Philco making a single speed LP
    turntable nicknamed "The Clam" (because of the shape of the covered
    case) which could be plugged into existing radio-phonos.  By the end of
    the year Philco was making a 2-speed changer with two arms, one for 78s
    and the other for LPs.  Ironically, only the 78 arm could be used
    automatically.  LPs had to be played one-by-one.  This eliminated their
    time advantage by not permitting the use of a stack of LPs!!!!!  When
    RCA introduced the 45 in April 1949 they purposefully made it difficult
    to include it as a 3rd speed on the 2 speed players becuase the
    quick-change feature would only be possible on a small turntable with a
    short arm.  The first RCA Victor consoles to include the new speed had
    two separate changers for 78s and 45s--RCA Victor would not admit that
    the LP existed until 1950.  But other companies did have 3-speed
    changers and turntables by the end of 1949, and that must have been when
    Stephen Kallis's father bought his.  My father bought our 3-speed
    Webster-Chicago in 1950, but continued to cherish his 78 RPM set of
    "South Pacific".

    Hi all:
    Michael was discussing the Dragnet program, "A Gun for Christmas" in the
    previous issue.  He was comparing the performances of Bill Johnstone to Vic
    Perrin.  I must point out that it was not Vic Perrin who played the grieving
    father in the later versions of this story.  It was an actor named,
    Whitfield Conner.  Perrin played Chief Thad Brown in that version.

    This has little to do with the original topic.  We were discussing the
    1950s practice of having two separate mono stations broadcasting the
    separate stereo channels on their different stations.  For example, the
    TV station broadasting only the left channel while the radio station
    broadcasts only the right channel.  (Or an AM and FM pair of stations,
    or AM-FM-TV broadcasting three-channel stereo.)  Because both TV and
    radio stations could broadcast stereo audio individually by the 1990s,
    what you are describing is an ordinary simulcast.

    However, it is conceivable that some people don't have stereo TVs, so
    they could use the radio station for stereo audio.  This was done in a
    few special instances prior to the introduction of stereo sound on
    broadcast TV.  Lee Munsick mentioned it being done for some PBS programs
    in New York.  We also had it done occasionally here in Kentucky because
    our Kentucky Educational Television network didn't get stereo audio
    until about three years ago.

    Actually, the book is out-of-print, but both Francis and I are in the midst
    of completing a revised edition. The original 1983 book was 109 pages thick.
      Since it's printing, the scripts to the entire series have surfaced as
    well as much updated info and trivia.  We're planning for an early 2001
    release, through yours truly, and alread it's about 250 pages thick.  The
    book is already in rough draft form.  The radio log has been updated
    ten-fold, with production credits and plots, something the initial
    publication did not.  If anyone has anything they believe might be useful or
    helpful, please don't hesitate to contact me - we're open to anything.

    Subject:  Have Gun - Will Travel

    Sorry about the delay - I've been off e-mail for almost a whole week and
    catching up to the OTR issues, I'm only now replying to the Have Gun/Gene
    Roddenberry debate.  Charlie Summers is correct.  Roddenberry never wrote
    for the radio series of Have Gun.  The television series was already on its
    second season when the radio series premiered, and Norm Macdonnell wanted to
    do a radio version.  It was cost effective because they intended to take the
    TV scripts and make them into radio dramas.  After the initial telecast, the
    script and story became property of CBS, so there was no royalties paid to
    any of the writers whose scripts were adapted for the radio version.

    John Dehner was one of only three people initially chosen to play Paladin.
    Vic Perrin and Harry Bartell were the other two, and voice tests were made
    to decide who would play the role.  (The voice tests exist - contact Ted
    Davenport or Gary Kramer for a copy.)  The tests featured a scene from the
    episode "Ella West".  Dehner was chosen and the first episode acted and
    recorded was "Ella West," a Roddenberry script.  Only four of Roddenberry's
    TV scripts were adapted for the radio version.  Check out the info below:

    EPISODE #1    ėSTRANGE VENDETTAî    Broadcast on November 23, 1958
    Recorded on November 21, 1958, 12:00 [removed] to 12:24 [removed]

    EPISODE #2    ėROAD TO WICKENBURGî    Broadcast on November 30, 1958
    Recorded on November 30, 1958, 2:30 to 3:00 [removed]
    Based on the teleplay ėThe Road to Wickenburgî by Gene Roddenberry, and
    adapted for radio by John Dawson.

    EPISODE #3    ėELLA WESTî    Broadcast on December 7, 1958
    Recorded on November 15, 1958, 8:00 to 8:25 [removed]
    Based on the teleplay by Gene Roddenberry, adapted for radio by John Dawson.

    EPISODE #5    ėTHE HANGING CROSSî    Broadcast on December 21, 1958
    Recorded on December 13, 1958, 6:30 to 7:00 [removed]
    Based on the teleplay by Gene Roddenberry, adapted for radio by John Dawson.

    EPISODE #7    ėHELEN OF ABAJINIANî    Broadcast on January 4, 1959
    Recorded on December 27, 1958, 6:30 to 7 [removed]
    Based on the teleplay by Gene Roddenberry, adapted for radio by John Dawson.

    As you can see, John Dawson was the man who scripted the Roddenberry
    teleplays.  Macdonnell was handed a stack of scripts to choose from, and
    writers were assigned (and/or) chose the scripts they wanted to do.
    If memory serves me correctly, there is an episode or two of the above that
    the announcer billed Gene Roddenberry as the author, during the closing
    credits, and did not mention John Dawson's name, which is why over the
    years, people have assumed that Roddenberry wrote the radio scripts.

    A couple last curios about the radio series:
    Note how the premiere episode was recorded two days before broadcast, but
    "Ella West," episode #3, was recorded about two weeks earlier!!
    (That's why I included the premiere episode listing above, even though that
    wasn't based on a Roddenberry script.)  Also note that episode number two
    was recorded the same day it was broadcast!!  It seems after the first few
    weeks, the recording sessions for the radio episodes were about a week or
    two before broadcast.  But the first few productions were certainly rushed
    into production (especially since the voice tests are dated days before the
    premiere).  I've always assumed that they had "Ella West" on the sidelines
    just in case the first few were not ready by airtime.

    EPISODE #17    ėDEATH OF A YOUNG GUNFIGHTERî    Broadcast on March 15, 1959
    and was recorded on February 22, 1959, 6:30 to 7 [removed] Macdonnell didn't jst
    have access to television scripts that were months old.  This same script
    was broadcast on CBS-TV the night before the radio version aired!

    Info reprinted selectively from the book, THE HAVE GUN - WILL TRAVEL
    COMPANION, and various info about Roddenberry's non-radio work was confirmed
    by Majel Barrett, his wife and widow.

    I suspect it was replaced by "Special K."  At least I think that Special K

    Friends:

    I am curious about whatever happened to a wonderful female actress that
    captured my attention years ago as she played teen-agers so well.  Her
    talent for dramatics was so good.  Is she still with us.  If so, I would
    to know if one has a way to let her know that her talents were always
    appreciated by a child, young and and older adult.  Every time I listen
    to the the wonderful enthusiastic excited voice of Janet Waldo, it
    reminds me that some talent started young.  My first memories of her, as
    a babyboomer, was as Emmylu up the street from Ozzie Nelson.  She had
    such a lively personality as that chatterly young girl.  I found her
    roles to be the kind that you don't forget.  I was told that she played
    in a radio show as the lead.  Somebody said it was something like Corlis
    Archer or Date with Judy.  Is this true?  (for fans only)  was her role
    in it as good as some of her regular parts on O&H and other shows?  While
    on the topic, I'd like to list 5 of my favorite female character
    actresses.  What are yours?

    In the Forties, "whiz" more often brought Captain Marvel to mind because
    of Fawcett's WHIZ COMICS (1940), a title inspired by CAPTAIN BILLY'S
    WHIZ BANG (1919) -- which referenced a WWI artillery shell:

    Subject:  Inner Sanctum tapes

    D. Bacca inquires if tapes of the legendary Inner Sanctum are available.
    They must be; I own quite a few of the 137 that Hickerson claims are in
    circulation.  Swartz & Reinehr confirm at least 101 in circulation.  Yes,
    I think many of us surely must have copies of that much heralded series
    which, I'm assuming, is fairly easy to order from most OTR dealers.
