How about Francis the Talking Mule, or Francis Farmer?  The term "actor"
doesn't necessarily mean strictly males (or humans).

Jack Palmer:  Thanks for your kind words, and I did get the clippings.  Thank
you again.

-Monitoring Times-  The Full-Spectrum Radio Magazine, reviewed The Original
OTR WWW Page in their March issue.  Bill Grove states, "The Old-Time Radio
folks have put together a beautiful tapestry of pages, all dedicated to the
old-time radios and the shows that lived inside them."

In addition to the nice review, the review includes a screen capture from my
"OTR Ads and Logos" sub-page.  OTR Digest readers without WWW access can get
an idea of how the Original OTR WWW Page looks, by checking the "Net News"
column in the March -Monitoring Times-.

The review will eventually appear at the Monitoring Times page,

Can anyone identify a Saturday evening program (9:30 [removed]) which was hosted
by Col. McCormick of WGN (World's Greatest Newspaper) wich featured light
opera and musicals. I believe I used to listen to it on KOCY, then the MBS
station in Oklahoma City. Anyone out there have any idea what the progrtam
was called?

Thank you.

Subject: Cold war shows; belated response re: Soldiers with Wings
Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

Ed Carr has many of the "I Was A Commie" shows (as would any large 
dealer; they're not very rare or obscure!). They are a hoot!  I also 
have a friend who claims to have all of them, although he is outside 
"the hobby".
	Another show that had mostly commie villians (from the episodes 
I've heard anyway, there aren't a lot around) was Mr. Moto.  Another 
series to check out is [The Chase] I think - a poor man's ESCAPE - it had
stories of North Korean and European red busting.  Or was it High Adventure?
Probably both.   Any of those '50s action shows featured the Red menace.
	For a great drama, look for "Tommorrow" by Phillip Wylie, c. 1955.  
Produced by the Department of Civil Defense, it's a one hour mix of science-
fiction, US history, and Cold War paranoia, all narrated by Orson Welles. 
It's terrific!  Just remember to keep your radio tuned to 640 or 1240.
(Remember when transister radios had the little triangles to indicate the 
Conalrad channels?)
	Another show of note: Hollywood Fights Back (against the House 
Un-American Activities Committee), featuring every "liberal" in Hollywood
and NY speaking out against the hearings that led to the Hollywood Ten 
blacklisting.  SPERDVAC has these 2 half-hours.
	Also, someone asked last week about "Soldiers With Wings" - I know 
I have one episode somewhere at home, but I can never seem to remember to 
check when I'm there.  There are at least 2 shows circulating, according 
to an old Hickerson log.  Who has them?  That's another good question!

RHAC (Radio Historical Association of Colorado) has a pretty good selection
of the shows (I know, 'cuz I picked them up a couple months ago myself.
Great show!). If you check Lou's web page, I believe the catalogue is there.
