    The other night I was watching a rerun of the television show Matlock.
    Imagine my surprise when I saw Sheldon Leonard do his Jack Benny tout
    routine with Andy Griffith. Jack's influence is everywhere.

    Subject:  The Radio Hall of Fame

    Thanks to Martin Grams for noting Ed Walker's nomination to the Radio Hall of
    Fame. I think those in the OTR community will also be especially interested
    in the "National - Pioneer" category, where the nominees are "Suspense," "The
    WLS Barn Dance," "The Dr. Demento Show," and Chickenman creator Dick Orkin. I
    know where my own sympathies lie but I reckon anyone who wins in this
    category will deserve it. I urge everyone to vote before the August 1
    deadline by going to:

    Which reminds me - I'd better vote!

    Dear Jim-

     From: Jim Hilliker <jimhilliker@[removed];

>     The H. B.  Warner who was one of the judges on the Gateway to Hollywood
>     radio program  was obviously Harry Warner of the Warner Brothers movie
>     studio.

    Not so obvious from here, as his (anglicized) name was Harry MORRIS  Warner?

>     So, while Jack Warner was head of the studio, Harry Warner was still  part
>     of the Warner Bros. executive team, and went by [removed] Warner.

    Again, [removed] Warner was a wonderful character actor of the  era.

    Best,
    -Craig W.

    I tend to think "[removed] Warner" referred to the eminent character actor of that
    name.  He appeared in scores of movies, played Jesus Christ in DeMille's KING
    OF KINGS, and was often used by Frank Capra (nominated for an Oscar for his
    work in LOST HORIZON).  He also turns up as one of the bridge-playing
    "ghosts", I believe, in SUNSET BOULEVARD.  First name, Henry.

    Subject:  More on H B Warner

    Jim Hilliker wrote that "The H. B. Warner who was one of the judges on the
    Gateway to Hollywood radio
    program was obviously Harry Warner of the Warner Brothers movie studio."

    Perhaps, but HB Warner was also the credited name of an actor whose career
    spanned from the silent era to the 1950s. HB Warner's roles included Jesus in
    the DeMille's silent "King of Kings", and gave his penultimate performance in
    1958 with a part in DeMille's talkie "The Ten Commandments". Warner also
    played Colonel Nielsen in the Bulldog Drummond Movies, and filmed several
    performances for Frank Capra, including Old Man Gower the druggist in "It's a
    Wonderful Life". The Internet Movie Database reports that this Warner was
    English-born and the son and grandson of English actors, and appeared on
    Broadway before making his way to Hollywood.

    Subject:  June Foray's autobiography!!

    Yes, it's FINALLY coming. I'd been after her since I interviewed her for my
    Paul Frees book 6 years ago to get Her book written. She held back some
    things about Frees and Walter Tetley at the time, wanting to save it for her
    own book. In fact, she's written a little about Tetley and a LOT about Frees
    in this book. Well, it took a Lot of coaxing, and a lot of help from Mark
    Evanier to get it down, but it's Finally ready. It's uploaded to the printer
    now and books should be in people's hands in about 2 weeks!

    Subject:  Jack Benny radio on tv

       Recently I ran across some Jack Benny tv shows on [removed]  One I
    thought everyone here would be interested in.  Its from 560101 where
    Jack re-creates his radio new years drama "The New Tenant", as he did it
    on radio: actors standing around a couple of mics, Gene Twomby (sp)
    doing the sound effects and so forth.  (The kid playing the new year
    either had a great memory or he was actually reading the script.  He
    couldn't be more than three or four years old and had a large role).
