        ADMINISTRIVIA:

       As you may have noticed, I broke the OTR Digest while at the
       Friends of Old-Time Radio Convention last week. No mail was lost,
       and I'm cleaning things up as I type this. Things should be back
       to normal, whatever the heck that means, shortly.

       This means I have not yet had the chance to post pics from the
       convention, although I DID take the time to post a short clip from
       Saturday's Dave Warren Players' presentation of Blondie. For those
       who weren't there, my daughter Katie made her acting debut in this
       production. The posting has little to do with OTR, and lots to do
       with a parent's pride. Hit [removed] to view.  --cfs3

     From Those Were The Days

    10/24

    1929   The Rudy Vallee Show was broadcast for the first time on NBC.
    Actually, the Rudy Vallee show had several different titles over the
    years, all of which were referred to by the public as The Rudy Vallee
    Show.  Megaphone totin' Rudy and his Connecticut Yankees band were
    mainstays on radio into the late 1940s.

    10/25

    1937   Stella Dallas made her debut on the NBC Red network. Stella hung
    out on NBC until 1955 with Anne Elstner in the title role for the entire
    run.  Stella Dallas was "A continuation on the air of the true life
    story of  mother love and sacrifice, in which Stella saw her own beloved
    daughter,  Laurel, marry into wealth and society, and realizing the
    difference in their tastes and worlds, went out of Laurel's life."

    10/26

    1935   A talented twelve year old sang on Wallace Beery's NBC show. Judy
    Garland delighted the appreciative audience. The young girl would soon
    be in pictures and at the top of stardom. It would be only four years
    before Ms. Garland (George Jessel gave her the name, thinking it would
    be better than her own, Frances Gumm) captured the hearts of moviegoers
    everywhere with her performance as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

    10/27

    Marconi, Fessenden, and De Forest were the catalysts. However, it was an
    engineer for Westinghouse Electric who, in 1916, was broadcasting music
    from his garage (in Wilkinsburg, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh) over a
    wireless (amateur radio station 8XK) who really got the whole thing
    started. A newspaper article about the broadcasts caused such interest
    that the head honchos at Westinghouse decided to build a real radio station.

    It took until this day in 1920 for the Westinghouse radio station to
    receive a license to broadcast. The license for KDKA, Pittsburgh came
    from the [removed] Department of Commerce. Although the license was
    officially issued on this day, KDKA did not start their broadcast
    operations for a week (they had to wait until the license was posted in
    the station). On November 2, 1920, the station aired the returns of the
    Harding/Cox election ... the first radio programming to reach an
    audience of any size ... approximately 1,000 people.

    1947   This is Nora Drake premiered on NBC. Nora solved domestic, social
    and child raising problems until January 2, 1959.

    1947   "The one, the only Groucho" Marx appeared as quizmaster on You
    Bet Your Life for the first time    on ABC. George Fenneman was
    Groucho's eternal straight man. Fenneman stayed with Marx during the
    program's run on radio (1948   1959) and TV (1950   1961). By the way,
    who is buried in Grant=s tomb?

    10/28

    1922   WEAF in New York broadcast the first collegiate football game
    heard coast to coast. Princeton played the University of Chicago at
    Stagg Field in the Windy City. The broadcast was carried on phone lines
    to New York City, where the radio transmission began. (Princeton 21,
    Chicago 18.)

    1946   Our favorite flying cowboy was heard on ABC for the first time.
    Sky King starred Jack Lester, then Earl Nightingale, and finally, Roy
    Engel, as Sky. Beryl Vaughn played Sky's niece Penny; Jack Bivens was
    Chipper and Cliff Soubier was the foreman. Sky King was sponsored by
    Mars candy.

    10/30

    Orson Welles, known to radio audiences as The Shadow, presented his
    famous dramatization of [removed] Wells' The War of the Worlds on CBS's
    Mercury Theater at 8 [removed]

    Subject:  "The Witch's Tale" in 1939

    Did the series "The Witch's Tale" enjoy a brief revival in 1939? The reason I
    ask is that, while browsing through Los Angeles area newspaper radio pages
    for something else, I noticed a listing for a series titled "Witches Tales"
    on KFI, Wednesday nights at 10:15. The show apparently ran on that station
    from February 22 through April 26. Just curious if this "Witches Tales" was
    the Alonzo Deen Cole "Witch's Tale" or if it was a different series.

    For those who like Nick Carter, Doc Savage, The Shadow, The Saint and other
    fictional characters who made the transition to radio, PULP ADVENTURECON is
    taking place at the Ramada Inn of Bordentown NJ on Saturday, November 6th.
    The show runs from 10am-5pm, admission is $[removed]

    Like the old time radio conventions, the dealer room is filled with tables of
    treasures -- only for this show, the merchandise assumes a pulp-oriented
    slant. The tables have boxes and stacks of pulp magazines along with vintage
    magazines, paperbacks, Big Little Books (I've been collecting the LONE RANGER
    Big Little Books myself), movie memorabilia and much more! Last year I bought
    two copies of THE ADVENTURES OF JIMMIE DALE, original first editions, for two
    bucks a piece. This was the book that George W. Trendle approached Fran
    Striker and proposed a similar character and how THE GREEN HORNET was born. I
    know some can say "I can download the JIMMIE DALE novel for free off the web"
    but why when you can pay two bucks and have a book you can take to the beach
    or read in a car instead of reading it from your computer?

    If your interests lean toward The Lone Ranger, Tarzan, Zorro, or Dashiell
    Hammett, you'll find something to whet your appetite at this show. As I
    modestly tell everyone who will listen (and a few who refuse to listen), you
    won't find more pulp magazines at any show in New Jersey.

    Check out the website [removed] or the "Pulp Adventurecon"
    facebook page.

    If you're thinking of traveling from the Manhattan area and don't have a car,
    you can always take NJ Transit to Trenton, then it's a short hop on the
    Riverline light rail to Bordentown City.  Call the Ramada at (609) 298-3200
    or call Rich Harvey's cell phone at (609) 346-4184.  There are people who
    will gladly volunteer to give rides back and forth to and from the light rail
    station.

    Hope to see you there!

    Greetings, afficionados!

    After a long period of hibernation I am finally emerging to be part of the
    list again. My first query on the road back to OTR chat is this: has anyone
    seen the film ME & ORSON WELLES? I would like some opinions as to its fidelity
    to OTR because in the book there are several sequences detailing some moments
    in Welles' radio work, including a FIRST NIGHTER segment. Does the film give
    his radio work fair treatment or is it just a sideways glance (as usual)? I
    read the book last summer and really enjoyed it, but I wanted to hear from a
    few different, learned quarters before renting the movie as money is tight and
    I am watching ALL of my dimes these days :-)

    I look forward to hearing from all or any of you soon.

    Great to be back,

    I just heard something that never registered with me before.  At the opening
    of Jack Benny's shows Don Wilson always says:  "It's the Jack Benny program
    with Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Rochester and me, Don
    Wilson."  Or words to that effect.

    My question is: Why is Eddie Anderson listed as Rochester, his character's
    name, rather than Eddie Anderson, the actor's name.  I realize all the other
    people appear under their own name, but it seems odd that Anderson is
    slighted like that.
