I am looking for the title of the  show that originally aired in the late 50's
or early 60's. The locale featured Uniontown,  PA and one of the players was
Larry Haines. In addition to hearing the original episode, I heard it again
over Armed Forces radio between 1962 and 1965.

Would like to find the title so i can purchase a tape or cd of the show.

Thank You.   john

Stewart Wright mentioned My Son John on his Cavalcade of America list.
I was thinking of this one in answer to the stories about subs on radio
question. As I remember, it starred Humphrey Bogart.

Mike Kerezman asked about radio shows involving submarines:

Another one not mentioned involved a submarine was "Death Comes to
Adolph Hitler" on the Mysterious Traveler from 3/24/45.

Subject:  max morath

I caught an interesting show at the York Theatre the other night, with
Max Morath doing a review/tribute to [removed] (The "address for the AP
review, is below.)

Does anybody remember hearing Morath, or have other memories of ragtime,
on radio?

In 1971, the Arthur Godfrey radio show was in its last days, awkwardly
placed in New York in the midst of WCBS-AM's new all-news format.  The
featured performer at that time was Mr Morath, who I believed had helped
revive ragtime with the score to the popular movie, "The Sting."

I may well be wrong about the movie title, and Morath might not have played
that score, but I do know that he made me aware of the genre and popularized
it tremendously through Godfrey's show.

I recently had to learn an, uh, 'arranged' version of "The Entertainer" in
my piano studies.  Glorious music, but it is not easy.

It might be an urban legend, but I read that Gracie Allen once appeared
without explanation in a submarine trapped on the ocean floor.  She was
looking for her brother.

Chico , Groucho, and the other Marx Brothers parents or grandparents ,came
from Alsace in France, same as Lawrence [removed] they're of Alsatian
German-Jewish extraction. Chico's phoney Italian accent is strictly a
Hollywood character identity.
