Re: John Weber's inquiry into "Cold War" radio:

A handful of shows come to mind when thinking about dramatic programs in
which Communists were routinely "The Bad Guys." The most obvious choice is
probably "I Was A Communist for the FBI" (naturally) starring Dana Andrews.
Based on my own knowledge of OTR, I'd give a close second award to Herbert
Marshall's "Man Called X" who was forever trotting the globe in pursuit of
Red Menaces. (ANother show with a similar theme, if I'm not mistaken, was
Brian Donlevy's "Dangerous Assignment," though I haven't heard too many of
those.) Suffice to say, these days to these ears, they all sound a
[removed], especially as we learn more about some of the unorthodox
activities conducted by our own [removed]

But this is OTR, not "Firing Line".

Hi there,

I'm currently working on a lengthy article detailing the history of THE SAINT on 
radio and would welcome any information on what episodes are available and from whom, 
I know there are many in circulation.

You may or may not know that Leslie Charteris, creator of the Saint, also wrote 39 
episodes of the Rathbone-Bruce Sherlock Holmes radio shows under the pseudonym of 
Bruce Taylor alongside his great friend Denis Green. Green, of course, carried on 
writing them with Anthony Boucher.

Thanks,

Ian Dickerson,
Honorary Secretary, The Saint Club (and Charteris biographer)

Frank Kelly presented a nice, articulate defense of WENN. However I think he
missed the point of the message to which he responded. The show's ambiance is
fine, I wouldn't bother quibbling about the anachronisms or other unrealistic
aspects of WENN (I'm used to a "suspension of belief", I have almost 200
Cliffhangers on video). The bottem line is that it really is just "another
sit-com". With a 90's attitude of what is socially acceptable. IMNSHO it isn't
worth preserving on tape. I'd rather have a tape full of "Sheena" TV shows.

Subject.  Old Time Radio Convention in Cincinnati.

	As a regualr attendee (This will be my 4th year) the convention
usually starts after noon on Friday.  Time to meet all your old friends,
or get acquainted with new ones and visit the dealer's room.  Sometime
during the afternoon there will be a recreation of an old radio show. 
Also usually a panel discussion or two.  In the evening there will be
another recreation and a chance to ask the guests question about their
shows and old time radio.  Saturday is more of the same, with a banquet
in the evening.  Most of the guests are around all day and since it is
a much smaller convention than FOTR, anyone who wants to can meet each
guest for a chat.  May not sound too great, but it is great fun if you
like OTR.  This year the guests are Fred Foy, Parley Baer, Peg Lynch
and Barney Beck.  Foy was the announcer on The Lone Ranger, plus many
others.  Baer was on Gunsmoke as Chester, plus many others.  Lynch
wrote and acted in Ethel and Albert.  Beck was sound effect man on many
network shows.   Hope this helps.    Jac Palmer

For information on the 10th annual Cincinnati Oldtime Radio and Nostalgia
Convention (April 12-13, 1996), please contact
Mr. Bob Burchett at RMS and Associates, 10280 Gunpowder Road,
Florence, Kentucky 41042 or call 606-282-0333.

New topic:

Blank tape can be had from Audiotapes, Inc. at Box 9584,
Alexandria, VA 22304 or phone 703-370-5555.  Depending on quantity
(shipping is addditional) prices are about $2 per reel for used Ampex 641
(1800') tape.  Boxes are additional and may also be purchased from the same
place.  They accept credit cards.  This is the only place I know of that
offers decent tape at a reaonable price.

   Rick Hartnett requested info about the Cincinnati OTR and Nostalgia
Convention.  As mentioned in my newsletter, it'll be the 10th annual affair
on April 12th and 13th at the Marriott Inn.  Special guests will be Parley
Baer, Peg Lynch (they'll do some more wonderful "Ethel & Albert"), great Lone
Ranger announcer, Fred Foy, and sound effects man Barney Beck.  The contact
for more information on costs (extremely reasonable), etc. is Bob Burchett at
(606) 282-0333.
   Rick's second question concerned actor's last names for a radio trivia
contest.  Try these:
          "Rags" Ragland
          Regis Toomey
          Fatty Arbuckle
          Francis Lederer

A couple people have written in response to my question about OTR and the 
red scare about a program called "I Was A Communist For The FBI".  Does 
anyone know of a source for copies of the program??
