Would someone be kind enough to send me the list of Shadow programs that are

Do any of you remember a radio series called "The Zero Hour"? If you do,
share some details about the show. I know Rod Serling did a lot of sci-fi
and suspense programs, but this program seems to be a rare collection. Very
few people sell the entire series and very little is said about the show. I
wonder if the new radio show "The Twilight Zone" will borrow some of "The
Zero Hour " scripts. I see there's a web site that sells the Twilight Zone
radio series. That web site is:

sell the new series for $[removed] for CD and Cassette is it worth the price?
Has anyone heard it on the radio in your city or town? I ask that, because
the radio drama is not on any radio stations in my city. My daughter tells
me after looking over the web site, that some of the Twilight Zone radio
series is the actual scripts of the television show. If anybody knows about
some of this information please share with us.

Subject: this old house and thurl ravenscroft
I recall listening to "This Old House" on one of the two geezer radio
stations I can get on the car radio a couple of months ago, and I wondered
about that marvelous bass singer who doubled with Rosemary Clooney. As
Garrison Keillor has pointed out, you can't have gospel music without
someone to sing bass, and Mr Ravenscroft was great. And now I find that he
was also Tony the Tiger.
I am utterly awed by the expertise and experience of the people in this
group. Thank you, everyone.

John Henley provided some news and links about Eddie Cantor's family for
which I thank him. I was unaware of daughter Janet Gari's show business
credentials along with those of her son Brian, Eddie's grandson.
I don't think I'm repeating this info and apologize if this has already been
posted, but I don't believe I've seen reference to Eddie's relatively high
profile son-in-law Robert Clary, married to daughter Natalie, who was born
in Paris, and was a Holocaust survivor. He has had a long career which
started as a singer on Broadway, most notably in "New Faces of 1952" and he
has had a long career as an actor in both film and TV.
He is probably most known for his role in "Hogan's Heroes" where he played
the French prisoner Lebeau. He also put in many years on soaps as well
as films after "Hogan's Heroes".
He is 75 and still going strong.

[ADMINISTRIVIA: He's going strong, alright. He's here at the 2002 FOTR
Convention, and I've got quite a few pics of him (and an autograph or
two, too). He's going strong,

One lecture is on the history of commercial radio with an audio tape by Les

Subject: "War of the Worlds" on radio
According to a feature article in today's Los Angeles Times, two LA
stations plan to air Orson Wells's show, this coming week - in different
formats:
Wednesday, 10/30:
Syndicated talk-radio host Glenn Beck presents a re-created LIVE version on
station KLAC-AM (570) from 5 to 6 PM PST from the studios of Washington
DC-located XM Satellite Radio, which will also carry the program for its
subscribers.
Beck's re-creation will include a cast of a dozen actors, a live orchestra,
and foley artists creating sound effects.
(Note from Herb: KLAC is online at
[removed]; they don't show this
program on their schedule as of this date, but I HOPE they broadcast what
the 'LA Times' promoted, and do a simulcast on the web; they use Windows
MediaPlayer [removed] or later.)
Thursday, October 31:
9:00 PM KNX DRAMA HOUR — "War of the Worlds" presented by the Mercury
Theatre on the Air.
Synopsis: The United States experiences mass hysteria in the original
broadcast of the Orson Welles classic.
Original airdate: 10-30-38
This is the original.
KNX repeats the broadcast at 2:00 - 3:00 AM on Friday morning as a repeat
of the 'KNX Drama Hour'.
(Note from Herb: KNX is online at
[removed]. They always have the
previous day's 'Drama Hour' OTR programs available for online listening the
next day at their website. Also please note that some of the broadcast
programs run "over-time" due to the addition of commercials.)

Everybody airs The Mercury Theater of the Air "War of the Worlds" because of

Hi Chris!
A good third choice would be The Thing On The Fourble Board from Quiet
[removed] is an absolute shocker and carries a terrifying punch. For
something a little more subtle, but just as chilling, I recommend Orson Welles
in The Hitch-hiker written by Lucille Fletcher (of Sorry, Wrong Number fame)
there is a Suspense version from 1942 (the one I prefer) and one from The
Mercury Summer Theatre On The [removed] sure of the year. Along with War Of

Here are a couple of honorable mentions that feature that master of the

I remember a while back that one of you kind people put a URL in with your

be OK. I got it as a referb for $40. I would really love to see that web

I have just returned from four weeks in Japan visiting my wife's family. The
Japanese people know nothing about American radio, but that should not be a
surprise. How much do we know about Japanese radio. When it became known that
my hobby is collecting old time radio programs, one of my grand nephews asked
me about Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast. I found it very
interesting that this was the one American broadcast that he heard of. I asked
him how he knew about it and he said that he learned about it in school. Of

The hotel was acquired in the mid-90s by Ramada Corporation, renamed Hotel
Pennsylvania, and completely renovated in an effort to restore some of the
hotel's splendor of the 40s. When you call the hotel's phone number --
212-736(PE 6)-5000 -- and are put on hold, the background music is ...
guess what ... Ah, you guessed it -- Glen Miller's "Pennsylvania 6-5000."
