Subject: Script Reuse For Multi-Part YTJD Stories
Script Reuse For Multi-Part Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar Stories
Many fans of the Old-Time Radio Detective genre enjoy the fifty-five
multi-part Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar stories. With more air time
available, these 1955-56 stories featured more plot and character
development than could accomplished in the standard 30-minute time frame.
At least twenty-two of these multi-part stories were based on
previously-written scripts from Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and other series.
All eighteen multi-part YTJD stories written by John Dawson, a pen name used
by E. Jack Neuman, utilized 30-minute scripts that he had previously written
or co-written for Johnny Dollar and other series such as Night Beat; Jeff
Regan, Investigator; The Adventures Of Sam Spade; and Richard Diamond,
Private Detective. Additionally, four multi-part YTJD stories written by
Les Crutchfield recycled 30-minute scripts that Crutchfield had previously
written for the series.
As would be expected, extensive modifications were made to the
original 30-minute scripts when they were reused for the longer, 1955-56
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar format.
These modifications often included:
theme music;
openings, closings, and between acts segments;
locales;
Cast and Crew changes;
changes in plot which might involve addition and/or deletion of scenes and
dialog;
expansion of existing dialog;
changes of character names;
addition of new characters;
addition of brief plot summary descriptions of previous segments of the
current story line;
and
extension of the length of the closing music.
The following is a listing of the twenty-two multi-part Yours Truly,
Johnny Dollar stories that used recycled scripts and the scripts upon which
they were based.

Subject: Best Organ On The Air?
The following endorsement appeared in 1927 advertising from a theater
pipe organ company. The catalog includes an illustration of the organ
installation in the studio of WHT Chicago located in the Wrigley Building.
Since my engagement at WHT, I have received thousands of
congratulatory letters from listeners, all of which state that the
Kilgen Wonder Organ is the best Organ on the air. Our Radio "Fans"
write us stating that nothing in the world compares with it.
My long experience playing various types and makes of organs permits
me to state that the Kilgen Wonder Organ far surpasses anything I
have ever played in tonal qualities, quick action, durability and
responsiveness to the artist's touch. My only hope is that I will
always have a Kilgen Wonder Organ to play on.
