For the record, I am 18 years old and have been collecting and listening
to OTR for about eight years.
It's so nice to see people your age interested and enjoying old-time
radio.
I'm just about old enough to have listened to some old-time radio when it
was originally on. I was 4 1/2 years old before I ever heard of television,
and I remember when my parents bought our first TV set. When I was
home sick from school, my mother would put a radio in my room (The
TV was a large piece of furniture in the livingroom.) and I would listen to
daytime radio. Later, when I got old enough, I had my own radio, and I
discovered the Lone Ranger, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Sgt. Preston, Rin
TIn Tin, and various others. I began collecting in the early 70s, when
cassette tape recorders became available. Now, I'm also able to collect
some of my favorite old TV shows on video.
How old am I? 39, of course!

Subject: First Commercial
In 1922, a New York City realty company paid $100 for the first
radio commercial, on station WEAF.
A friend of mine moved into that condo complex last year. In fact, over the
summer I spent a week there on a visit. It's in Jackson Heights, Queens.
He was able to locate a text file of the ad but asked me if there were any
sound recordings. I told him there wasn't a chance, though there might be a
recreation somewhere. I was so sure of my answer that I didn't even bother
checking. So to make absolutely sure, I'll check right now -- is there a
recording of this commercial?

forget the name of the episode. I've also heard a Phil Harris show that
includes Phil Harris's fifteen warm-up for the audience. The name of this
episode is, I believe, "The Courtship of Eliot".

Well, the original radio Superman theme hasn't endured, but it clearly
inspired the 1950s TV version, as well as Jon Williams's 1980s movie
theme.
***However, the Superman theme you're thinking of didn't originate in radio
either. It was composed by Sammy Timberg and first appeared in the
Paramount/Fleischer Studios SUPERMAN CARTOONS in 1941 (which of course
initially featured Bud Collyer reprising his radio role). It wasn't
incorporated into the broadcasts until the fall of 1946. And while it may
have influenced John William's movie theme, I doubt very much that it
influenced the canned library music that was used for the 1950s
TV series.
Despite the lawsuit, I still consider the DRAGNET theme to be a lasting
original radio theme. And while it hasn't had the lasting impact of lifted
themes like "The William Tell Overture," "Love in Bloom," "The Flight of the
Bumble Bee" or "The Perfect Song," Rex Koury's GUNSMOKE theme is an i
ncredible piece of music that does a superb job of evoking the western
frontier. --Anthony Tollin

Subject: 9th & Broadway
If Jack Benny was referring to New York City, at that time 9th Avenue
and Broadway on the west side would be a rough part of town. Years later,
it would be in the "West Side Story" neck of the woods. Nowadays, it
offers a classic view of Lincoln Center. :)
However, staying in the Greatest City in the World, if Jack meant
Broadway and East 9th Street, he's in the East Village. And he'd be many
years away from enjoying Tex-Mex food at El Coyote. :)
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Regarding Arthur Treacher on the Jack Benny Show. Yes indeed, I do
recall a few episodes where he stood in for Rochester.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
As far as themes written specifically for radio shows, the theme for
"The Six Shooter" with Jimmy Steward was touted on the program as an
original composition written just for the show, in response to people
wondering where they could buy a copy. And on two of the programs, the
theme was run its entirety at the close. Actually, they made it pretty
easy to tape the whole theme off the air anyway. There was enough of a
pause for someone to tape the theme song. And tape was a well-established
professional and home recording medium at that time.
The theme was called "The Highlander."

Hi,
The question came up about the adventures of a blind detective on Suspense.
Captain Duncan McCaine appeared on the Suspense show "Out of Control," aired
March 28, 1946. It starred Brian Donlevy as the Captain with Bill Johnston,
Elliott
and Cathy Lewis and Wallt Maher. The Captain on the screen was portrayed by
Edward Arnold. Duncan McCaine was based upon a novel written by Baynard
Hardwick Kendrick in 1945.

Subject: My [removed] Listener
Hello all,
A contribution to the demographic picture and a couple of [removed]
I'm 34 years old and (aside from a childhood flirtation with CBS Radio
Mystery Theater) I've been avidly collecting and listening to OTR for about
3-4 years now. That big awkward box with the shiny screen on the front sits
rather blankly in the livingroom except for baseball games. OTR has quickly
become my primary entertainment.
I consider myself a true listener and collect primarily in order to continue
listening to "new" material. Joe Andolina's question about the tendency of
collection or trading to overshadow sitting down and simply enjoying the
programs was interesting to me.
At a certain point I got pretty good at finding new shows on-line and before
I knew it I had let my acqusitive drive keep me from relaxing and enjoying
the shows as much as I wanted. I was listening much less often and working
harder! One day I had a realization that I was starting to lose perspective
and I shook myself out of it. I've struck a really good balance since then.
Even though I maintain my spreadsheet of shows, continue to acquire and
catalog them and fuss with this information more than my wife thinks is
sane, it's now all in direct support of the moment when I sink into the
recliner, turn out the lights and let the playlist roll!
Is it a part of human nature that the process of collection and acquisition
can take on a life of its own?
I know that I thought hard about this when I was cleaning out my room before
leaving for college and found myself staring at a huge drawer full of tens
of thousands of brochures that I had doggedly and indiscriminately collected
as a kid during trips and vacations. I still can't figure out what I had
been thinking. :)
Of course, the point is to approach the hobby in whatever way makes you
happy and not let yourself get distracted from it. Everyone finds their
comfort zone in different ways and those different approaches together make
the hobby more vibrant and much richer. We should make a point of
remembering this whenever there is contention about the "right" way to
approach the OTR on this list.
I directly benefit on a daily basis from the knowledge of those that collect
more, catalog more or study more and may be listening less (there's only so
much time in the day). I am grateful for this.
Cheers,
Tim

Subject: Age
>From the current postings, I gather that we have a lot of OTR people who are
in their 40s who started appreciating radio programs with CBS Radio Mystery
Theater. Correct assumption? Because the 50-and-under crowd never really
had radio shows (most of our parents had TVs by the late 50s or early 60s),
we didn't have much until CBSRMT came on the air. That is when I became
hopelessly addicted to radio. I was married to an insomniac who listened to
radio most of the night, and fortunately, CBSRMT was one of the better
things to come of that.
I then discovered a few radio stations which carried "The Golden Age of
Radio" and recorded all that I could. Radio Spirits came next, and now HAL
(my infamous computer) and I download regularly.
My grandparents owned a laundry, a drug store, and a boarding house in a
small town in West Texas, so radio was about the only entertainment they had
in the 30s and 40s. I remember them talking about all the greats and
remember wondering if I would ever get to experience that. I'm soon to turn
49, and am glad OTR is accessible now.
Thanks to EVERYBODY who collects, transmits, shares, and otherwise continues
to make these classics available.

This note got me searching. Since I have several hundred Superman shows I

(also limited to the shows that I have) the use of theme music appears to
start with the episode which aired on April 4, 1946 "The Hate Monger

According to Jerry Haendiges' Candy Matson Radio Log there were 86 shows
including 2 audition shows. Unfortunately, only 14 shows, including
the 2 auditions are circulating. By 1949, taping was probably common
practice You'd think more shows would have survived. Does anyone know
what happened to the other 72 shows?
I'm an unabashed fan of all lady OTR detectives, and concur with Jim that
"Candy Matson" was by far, the best.
Actually, since the show was always done live, the question should be
turned around, and we should ask "So how did 14 ever survive?"
Because of my article on OTR's Lady Detectives, posted on Jim Widner's site
at [removed], I was recently contacted by Julian "Jay" Rendon, the sound
effects man on "Candy Matson". He says an air check was made of each
program by creator and director, Monty Masters, (who was married to the
star.) Monty had plans to syndicate this series later, but they never
materialized, possibly because of the onslaught of TV. Why only 14 of the
86 shows have made it into circulation is anyone's guess. Nearly everyone
in the cast and crew of that show (including Monty and Natalie Masters) are
dead now so our search options are few.
But if the remaining 72 disks survived, they should still be in the San
Francisco area, so get busy looking, [removed]

Actually, for the first two to three seasons, the radio show had no theme
to it only the narration. It was after the success of the Max Fletcher
Superman cartoons did the show then have a theme. While the cartoons used a
full orchestration for the music, the radio show only used an organ. But it
was still the same arrangement. Remember that Bud Coiler and the other radio
voices were in the cartoons.

I don't recall a Superman theme from the radio show, even into the mid-40s.
The radio show didn't have theme music at first, but it did eventually.
After I first heard it, I assumed that the TV show theme must have been
written as a variation on the radio theme. I find it hard to believe that it
was just generic library music, not intended for Superman. But since
Graham Newton is the expert, I assume he will know the true facts.
I don't actually know whether John WIlliams was familiar with the
Superman TV show theme, but his movie theme sounds to me like a
direct descendant of the earlier radio and TV themes.

able to find what was available through comic fanzines in the late 60s, but
never bought any shows. I moved to Germany and listened a lot to AFN and the
Longine Jack Benny otr records. In the late 70s bought some tapes, listened
to KNX LA from Western NMexico, and through my rather limited Internet

I'm 40. I got hit by OTR from three directions in my
youth (70s) and was hooked. A local radio station (KCOB
in Newton, Iowa!) started playing OTR in the early
evenings; a high school teacher introduced us to OTR
by playing The Shadow and Fibber McGee & Molly
episodes in the Mass Media course (thanks, Ron Prahl)
and I discovered the CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
I pretty much ignored OTR in the 1980s, ocassionaly checking
out tapes from libraries when I stumbled across them, but
then I got into more listening and collecting in the early 90s,
when WHO Radio in Des Moines started playing OTR from
9-10 pm every night. I really got inspired when I came across
some fellow OTR fans on the late, great Nostalgia Forum on
CompuServe in the early 90s.
One of my friends on that CS Forum told me about this
