    Arthur Anderson had a stroke a few days ago and is recovering at New
    York University Medical Center. The staff there believes that his
    recovery has been excellent, although they would like him to remain
    in their care for at least through the weekend. (Arthur does not
    concur, so we shall [removed])

    The only faculty affected by the stroke initially was his speech, and
    as of today, his speech has returned to virtual normalcy. He has had
    occasional visitors, including Craig Wichman, and Alice has been on
    the telephone with Edgar Farr Russell III, who is enroute to
    Manhattan. Arthur stressed to Craig that he specifically does not
    want flowers, fruit baskets, etc. from well-wishers as that would
    complicate things for Alice.

    Craig points out that "Of course, prayers are free and amazing gifts."

    We will try to keep you advised on this situation.

    Subject:  First Episode of Ma Perkins?
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

    On the website [removed] under the category "soap
    opera" (scroll down the right-hand side of the page to find the category) is
    an episode of Ma Perkins in which the announcer makes an interesting
    statement.  He says "And so we meet her for the first time.  Ma Perkins, in
    person."  The characters and setting are introduced with a degree of detail
    that seems to assume no familiarity with the show on the part of listeners.
    No date, commercials, or station or network identification is included.

    In an accompanying article Randy indicates that the show is from a
    transcription disc labeled "Pgm #423" and speculates that it may have aired
    over a Canadian station.  He also provides a link to [removed]
    where the episode is listed with an "approximate" date of August 1935.

    Given the announcer's statement, I'm wondering whether this episode may indeed
    have been the first one of the series.  As a transcription, could it have been
    re-broadcast over (perhaps) a Canadian station in 1935 and presented as the
    first episode of the series although it had been aired earlier in the United
    States?

    The final episode of the series has been widely circulated.  Is it possible
    that we now have the first one as well?

    Subject:  Green Hornet errors

    Actually, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY is not the only one making mistakes. Seth
     Rogen himself, in the movie trailer for THE GREEN HORNET, is referring
    to himself and Kato as "superheroes." Actually, they should be "masked
    vigilantes" because there is a BIG difference between the two. Superman and
    Wonder Woman
     are both superheroes -- possession super human abilities like speed and
    strength -- even having to blend in as an average human by
     disguising themselves. Whereas Batman and The Green Hornet are masked
    vigilantes. Nothing super about them except that they hide behind a mask and
    use gadgets to aid them in their crusade against crime. (Of course, anyone
    who read WATCHMEN understands the clarity
     pointed out with the difference of a masked vigilante and a
    "superhero.") Talk about Rogen's big [removed]

    Of course, I've seen that kind of mistake on a lot of commercial packaging,
    and comic book fans snicker and giggle over the error.

    Incidentally, Ronald Ahrens of the New York Times got it correct when
    referring to the Green Hornet's origin as a radio program prior to the comic
    book, serial and Tv version. Link enclosed.

    Off the side, I came into possession of the MacGregor and Sollie collection a
    couple months ago -- a private collection, over 20 boxes of materials. The
    transcription company located in San Francisco kept meticulous records of
    recordings, masters, casts, titles, plots, script writers, directors, cost
    sheets, etc. Had I not come down with pneumonia over the holiday, they would
    have been delivered and returned to the collector a short while ago. Among
    the amusing tid-bits discovered was the reference to Doc Savage (on the radio
    program DOC SAVAGE and DOC SAVAGE CALLING) as a "superhero" in more than one
    inter-office memo/letter. Even though Superman debuted a few years later, it
    seems the term was loosely used to describe radio characters as early as 1935.

    Subject:  Quiz Kids: Quite Legit

    Dan Hughes cannot believe that the Quiz Kids were that knowledgeable
    and wants to know if the show may have been "fixed" by feeding the
    kids the questions and/or answers beforehand.

    Briefly, yes, they were that knowledgeable.

    No, the show was not fixed.

    No, the kids never got the questions or answers in advance.

    But Dan's suspicions are not new. From the debut of the show, many
    folks had such reservations, including the media. "Billboard" said
    "We should imagine that the kids had stolen a peek at the puzzlers."
    Some newspapers hinted all the kids were college-trained midgets.
    Norman Siegel, radio editor for the "Cleveland Press" was more
    specific and claimed the show was rehearsed. Louis G. Cowan, who
    created and produced the show, phoned Siegel and invited him to come
    to Chicago at Cowan's expense and do a complete investigation. Siegel
    accepted and spent three days, interviewing the staff, the kids,
    their parents, and the radio crew. "It's on the level" Siegel wrote
    later, "The answers come straight off the cuff."

    The kids were darn smart; some were child prodigies who later had a
    hard time adjusting to life as adults. Hundreds of intelligent
    youngsters were auditioned for every vacancy so there was no chance
    of a let-down. Most of those chosen had IQs in the range of 180-200.
    The records have long ago been lost but to total up every kid who
    qualified for the panel, whether for one show or several years (all
    were retired at age 16) would be approximately 600. However since
    most of them lasted many years, they became very familiar names in
    our popular culture: Joel Kupperman, Gerald Darrow, Harve Bennett
    Fischman and Ruthie Duskin. A few others were not on long enough to
    become well-known but as adults, made their mark; one of them was
    actress
    Vanessa Brown, who was on the panel under her birth name, Smylla Brind.

    Occasionally the questions would be chosen because they were in a
    field in which a kid was an expert. Ruthie knew everything about
    Shakespeare, Joel Kupperman was a math whiz, and Gerard Darrow's
    specialty was ornithology. Remember: only one kid on the panel had to
    get the right answer. But did they ever get the questions in advance?
    Nope!

    For more info on this remarkable program, I recommend not Wikipedia,
    but two books. "The Quiz Kids" by Eliza Merrill Hickok (Houghton
    Mifflin, 1947) tells the story of the show from its inception by the
    leading staffer on the program. "Whatever Happened to the Quiz Kids:
    Perils and Profits of Growing Up Gifted" by Ruth Duskin Feldman
    (Chicago Review Press, 1982) was written by one of the original Quiz
    Kids who located and interviewed several of her fellow panelists
    after they grew up.
