    I think the argument was that Don Wilson and Phil Harris basically played
    "characters" with their real names.  They were basically ID'ed the same way
    in the open they were identified within the program by other  characters.
    I know that's not much of an explanation, but I'm unaware  (Laura Leff, call
    me out of I'm wrong!) of say, Frank Nelson, Bea Benederet or  Mel Blanc
    ever being credited on the show by their real or character  names.  Not sure
    what was up with that but I suspect it was related.

    I remember when Cheerioats became Cheerios; my mother told me they made the
    boxes smaller, and the longer name wouldn't fit. Of course, I believed her!

    As for Pep, I tried it once - it was terrible. Back then, of course, there
    were no sweetened cereals!

    Subject:  The Shadow and Welles

    Someone commented the other day about the Collins novel "The War of the
    Worlds Novel." We had mentioned that over Radio Once More
    during the recent special War of the Worlds broadcast, thinking some radio
    listeners might find that of interest. There is a mention
    about having Welles star in a big screen movie version and there is a bit of
    truth to that factoid, though years later from when
    the novel was set. Years after his departure from radio's The Shadow, in the
    fall of 1947, hard up for money,
    struggling with a nasty divorce from wife Rita Hayworth and fine-tuning his
    recent project, MACBETH, Orson Welles toyed with
    the idea of producing and directing a motion picture in England based on The
    Shadow. Screenwriter Charles Lederer completed
    a script. After failing to convince at least two American producers to fund
    the project and unable to sign any contracts with
    Street & Smith, Welles chose to film OTHELLO and spent no further time
    working on bringing The Shadow to the big screen. Problem
    was, Welles could not get permission from Street & Smith if he begged on his
    knees because they had already licensed the
    screen rights to Monogram Studios months before, for a six-movie contract
    (only three movies were ultimately produced). Lederer
    had come up with clever ideas to incorporate a few of the pulp hero's
    personalities and trademarks into the film, while keeping
    it faithful to the radio series -- a cross between both genres.

    In 1939, Columbia Pictures wanted to do a cliffhanger serial (also known as a
    chapter play) based on THE SHADOW and they had to
    secure permission from Street & Smith. Production was delayed because of
    ownership rights which had to be clarified. Seems the Glen
    Alden Coal Company (Blue Coal) felt they owned the rights to the program and
    it took a few months to straighten out who exactly
    had the rights to license the property for cinema. Because it took a few
    months to clear the legalities, John Carradine, who was
    originally slated for the role of Lamont Cranston, was replaced by Victor Jory.

    Two years after the serial, there was an attempt to bring THE SHADOW to
    Broadway. The July 30, 1942, issue of Radio Daily reported:
    "Dramatic rights to The Shadow, MBS program sponsored by [removed];W. Coal Co.,
    have been acquired from Street & Smith, publishers,
    by Lew Cantor and Hugh Skelley, who plan to produce the vehicle as a stage
    play."

    The August 29, 1942, edition of the New York Times reported: "Lew Cantor and
    Hugh Skelley, who plan to produce a dramatization
    of the radio serial, The Shadow, have asked the authors to write the play so
    that all the scenery will be drapes that can be
    shipped in trunks. This will solve transportation problems for the producers,
    baggage cars being hard to find these days."
    Apparently, the play was never produced.

    The same person also remarked: Yesterday while listening to few episodes of
    The Lone Ranger from 1938 I came
    across something I thought kind of interesting. During the musical bridge
    between the first act and the second act
    instead of hearing the usual piece of classical music normally heard I heard
    Omphale's Spinning Wheel by
    Saint-Saens--The theme music for The Shadow! I have to admit a found that a
    bit disconcerting and almost half
    expected to hear Johnstone or Morrison giving the "Who knows what evil lurks
    in the hearts of men" opening.

    This was mentioned in Reginald Jones' book about THE MASKED MAN'S MUSIC (now
    out of print and one of the four best reads last
    year). I know it was used during the months of April/May of 1938. Could have
    been used other times, but primarily during those
    two months. Long story short, they were experimenting with other music on
    records and was also preparing to use the music composed
    for the Republic Studios cliffhanger serial. It's still a mystery why they
    did it since The Shadow was heard over Detroit during
    the Blue Coal months and the Goodrich syndication, other than the technicians
    did not know that music was the theme of another
    radio thriller.

    Omphale's Spinning Wheel is featured in the soundtrack to the MGM 1922
    classic, THE MAGICIAN. The Turner Classic Movies restoration
    is now available through the Warner Archive and features music credited to
    Robert Isreal, but almost everything was public domain
    classical pieces, hence why you can hear The Shadow theme in the soundtrack.
    By the way, not for the sake of wanting to hear that
    musical piece, but THE MAGICIAN was one of the best silent films I've seen
    this year, and I've seen about 50 since January. Recommended.

    Subject:  Lone Ranger using The Shadow's music

    The question in the last digest about why The Lone Ranger radio program using
    the music from Omphale's Spinning Wheel (Saint-Saens) for a bridge between
    acts one and two can be answered as follows.  In 1938, when the particular
    program cited aired, station WXYZ in Detroit, which broadcast the program,
    had not yet settled on a specific library of musical cues for the Ranger.  At
    that time, they used whatever theme music they could find in their library
    that seemed suitable.  The cue in question, which was also used as The
    Shadow's theme, was very dramatic and set the mood.  Seigfried's Rhine
    Journey was another selection sometimes used between acts.  Since both were
    in the public domain, there was no issue about copyright infringement.  The
    only confusion would have been in the mind of the listener.
    A complete discussion of this can be found in Reginald Jones Jr.'s book, "The
    Mystery of the Masked Man's Music", published some years ago by Scarecrow
    Press.

    Subject:  #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!

    A weekly [removed]

    For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
    Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
    and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
    over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
    of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
    real-time OTR talk!

    Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
    others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
    range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
    it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
    it's always a good time!

    For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
    week and every week!
