    Subject:  Puzzling description

    I'm looking for a recording of the November 17, 1933 episode of Lum 'n' Abner
    Friday Night Sociable. I have found several lists, but they don't always show
    the dates and this show went on for years. Anyway, I found a list that shows
    the dates, EXCEPT for 1933. For 1933, the following two dates are shown:

    1. 33XXXX Friday Night Sociable
    2. 33XXXX Hunting The Lion

    I don't understand. Might this just mean that they on't know the dates for
    these two recordings?

     From Those Were The Days =
    8/4

    1921   The first tennis match on radio was broadcast on KDKA in
    Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This was a natural since KDKA was the first
    commercial radio station in the United States. Within eight months the
    powers that be figured out that sports on radio would bring in big sales
    revenues. And so, the Davis Cup match between Great Britain and
    Australia was aired on the radio; but much to the wonderment of KDKA's
    listeners. Tennis anyone? On radio? It rates right up there with radio
    wrestling or, maybe, [removed]

    1927   Station 2XAG, later named WGY, the General Electric station in
    Schenectady, NY, began experimental operations from a 100,000 watt
    transmitter. Later, the FCC regulated the power of AM radio stations to
    not exceed 50,000 watts on 'clear channels' (where few, if any, stations
    would cause interference with each other).

    1940   Crime Doctor introduced a new kind of radio hero to audiences.
    The CBS program presented Dr. Benjamin Ordway, the show's main
    character, who was a victim of amnesia. He once was a criminal, but got
    hit on the head, and suddenly began to work as a crime fighter. Nice twist.

    8/5

    1921   KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA did the first play by play broadcast of a
    baseball game. Harold Arlin described the action as the Pirates beat
    Philadelphia 8 5.

    1935   Backstage Wife was first aired, on MBS.

    8/6

    1928   One of radio's first serials, Real Folks, debuted on NBC.

    1939   After becoming a success with Ben Bernie on network radio, Dinah
    Shore started her own show on the NBC Blue network. Dinah sang every
    Sunday evening.

    8/7

    1949   Martin Kane, Private Eye was first heard on Mutual. William
    Gargan starred on the Sunday afternoon program.

    8/9

    1942   CBS debuted Our Secret Weapon. The program featured Rex Stout,
    who countered lies being broadcast by the Axis powers through shortwave
    radio.
