     From Those Were The Days

    6/8

    1942   The comic soap opera Clara, Lu 'n Em was revived on CBS (the
    original show began in 1931 on NBC). Clara, Lu and Em were together
    again for just a short while before vanishing into radio oblivion.

    1947   Lassie debuted on ABC. It was a 15 minute show about an
    extraordinary collie. Animal imitator, Earl Keen provided the whines and
    other dog noises. The announcer was Charles Lyon; Marvin Miller and
    Betty Arnold played Lassie's owners. The sponsor was Red Heart dog food.

    1909   An SOS signal is transmitted for the first time in an emergency
    when the Cunard liner SS Slavonia is wrecked off the Azores.

     From Those Were The Days

    1924   The first political convention on radio was presented.  Graham
    McNamee provided coverage of the Republican National Convention from
    Cleveland, OH.

    6/12

    1947   Sergeant Preston of The Yukon went national for the first time.
    The show, with the Canadian Mountie and his trusty dog, King, continued
    on the radio until 1955, beginning on WXYZ Detroit in 1938. Sgt. Preston
    was created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, who also created The
    Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet.

    1955   The first network radio show to be produced with no script, The
    University of Chicago Round Table, was heard for the final time on NBC.
    The program was the first network radio program to win the coveted
    George Foster Peabody Award.

    1955   "This is Monitor, a weekend program service of NBC Radio," was
    heard for the first time. Notables such as Bill Cullen, Ed McMahon, Hugh
    Downs, and Dave Garroway recited this line. It was a network cue to NBC
    radio stations across the nation who carried the long form news,
    entertainment and variety broadcast from New York City. Stations and
    listeners who were "on the Monitor beacon" were entertained for six
    hours or more each Saturday and Sunday night for nearly two decades.
    NBC's Monitor was one of the last live network radio programs on the air.

    6/13

    1944   The wire recorder was patented by Marvin Camras.

    1950   Harold Peary played the leading role of The Great Gildersleeve
    one final time. Willard Waterman took Peary's place in the role.

    Episode 124

    "THE COCOANUT GROVE AMBASSADORS" WITH JIMMIE GRIER & HIS ORCHESTRA

    Taking over this week for Gus Arnheim at the Cocoanut Grove in 1932 (by
    way of Transco syndication) is Jimmie Grier and his orchestra. Jimmie
    was known as "the musical host of the coast," and his orchestra
    demonstrated his excellent musicianship. The orchestra was known for its
    fine dance style and soloists such as Gogo de Lys, Harry Foster, Dick
    Webster, Pinky Tomlin, and several others. Jimmie played several
    instruments but it was his inventive arrangements, especially for Gus
    Arnheim, that brought him recognition.

    After Arnheim left the Cocoanut Grove, Grier formed his own band to
    succeed him. Later Grier went on to play at the famous Biltmore Bowl and
    after that to arrange for motion pictures and radio shows such as Jack
    Benny's as well as to accompany Bing Crosby, the Boswells, and Russ
    Columbo on recordings. He later spent time on the one-nighter circuit,
    and in 1942 he enlisted in the Coast Guard to become Rudy Vallee's
    assistant band leader of the official Coast Guard Band. When Rudy left
    he became its leader before WWII's end, and after the war he eventually
    entered the real estate business, much to our loss even today. Perhaps
    Grier's most famous recording was "The Object of My Affection," one of
    the biggest hit recordings in 1934 and composed by singer/musician Pinky
    Tomlin.

    We hear four fifteen minute "Cocoanut Grove Ambassadors" radio shows
    this time featuring Grier's "music with a personality" from "happiness
    headquarters" at the Grove, also known as the "famous rendezvous and the
    rendezvous of the famous." The unidentified announcer claims to have a
    note from famous actress Marion Davies at one point who wants to hear
    Grier's great version of "Tiger Rag," and actor Jack Oakie requests "My
    Love."

    Indeed, Grier provides those great tunes and several others across
    America'a "amber waves of radio," including "This Time It's Love," "Lady
    Be Good," "Lying in the Hay," "Fresh As a Daisy," "Casa Loma Stomp" (a
    terrifically "turbulent" arrangement), "Two Blue Eyes," "Tomorrow," "I
    Couldn't Tell Them What to Do," and "Shadows on the Swanee." Grier's
    theme song "Music in the Moonlight" begins and ends each show to send us
    all fittingly off to dream land.

    Among interesting Jimmie Grier You-Tube performances online is "One Hour
    with You," sung nicely by Donald Novis, and which, of course, was the
    tune that Eddie Cantor adopted and adapted as his radio theme song.

    Subject:  Duffy's Tavern

    Folks, the new Duffy's Tavern book by Martin Grams is OUT. Check it out here:
    [removed];filter_name=duffy&
    product_id=743

    If you'd like a review copy for your group, magazine, newsletter, etc.,
    please let me know. It's a Massive book - the usual Grams cockroach killing
    Bible - and you won't be disappointed.

    I'm a big fan of Duffy. In fact, I'm working with Ed Jr. and the person who
    owns all the DT scripts to release All of the scripts of the series over the
    next few years. It's quite an undertaking, but I've always been a sucker for
    radio scripts. :)

    Thanks for reading. And again, thank you for all you've done to support
    BearManor Media over these last 14 years.
