    I believe James Lipton (Dan Reid) should also be mentioned as a  "survivor".

    Subject:  Reid between the lines

    Joe Salerno asked if there were any remaining living cast members of "The Lone
    Ranger." The ones I can think of were mostly "juveniles" during the late
    1940s/early 1950s:  Richard "Dick" Beals and Elaine Hyman, who  were both
    panelists on a panel I produced and co-hosted at FOTR in 2000, viz. "A
    Humorous
    Look at The Lone Ranger." Fred Foy was also enpanelled along with leading LR
    authority/Digest subscriber Jim Nixon. Said panel was originally designed to
    play all the Ranger parodies we could find but since we had three actual
    players
    on the panel, co-host Nixon and I decided not to go for comprehensiveness and
    to
    concentrate largely on first-hand anecdotes courtesy of the panelists (the
    first
    casualty of time constraints was the Lenny Bruce routine "Thank You, Masked
    Man").

    Ms. Hyman recently played "Molly McGee" in Gary Yoggy's re-creation of "FM&M"
    starring Arthur Anderson as "Fibber"at FOTR 2010. Mr. Beals, one of several
    young actors to play the Ranger's nephew "Dan Reid." is still with us as is
    James Lipton, curremtly the dean of the Actors' Studio at New School
    University
    in NYC and who is best-known as the host of the Bravo network's "Inside the
    Actors' Studio." Lipton has also been reported to have played Dan Reid.

    OTR convention guest Paul Carnegie was a "Kato" for WXYZ's "The Green Hornet"
    as
    was Casey Kasem. I think the two of them might've taken turns as Dan Reid but
    I'm not sure. Being at Wyxie, I imagine Messrs. Kasem and Carnegie might've
    shown up in incidental roles on "the Lone Ranger."

    Let's not forget "Hornet" announcer Myron/Mike Wallace who according to
    historian Nixon once played a bad guy on the LR circa 1940.

    Hi-ho, Silver!

    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative

    Dear Friends:
    I have been intrigued by a wonderful article written by  Lou Dumont,
    appearing as part of the on-line OTRCAT website, concerning the  career of
    Fanny
    Mae Baldridge. Fanny Mae appeared frequently on shows created  and written by
    my grandmother, Ethel Park Richardson. Mr. Dumont, with whom I am  not
    acquainted, focuses on one such series, bThe Wayside Cottageb (aka bThe
    House
    Beside the Roadb).
    My grandmother created bThe House Beside the Roadb in  1928, and it
    appeared for 13 weeks in early 1931 on New  Yorkbs WABC, which  was CBSb
    outlet
    at that time, sponsored by the American Mutual Liability  Insurance Company.
    Bill Adams and Leslie Bingham were featured as characters  known only as
    bPab
     and bMother,b who lived in a cottage by the side of the road,  and who
    helped passers-by to resolve their problems. The power of sheer goodness
    which seemed to emanate from that cottage succeeded in reuniting husbands and
    wives, parents and children, and estranged friends or neighbors. The problems
    of  everyone who paused for a dipper of cool water from the stream which
    flowed  beside the rustic cottage seemed to unravel favorably under the gentle
    guidance  of the elderly couple.
    N. W. Ayer brought the series back in late summer, 1932,  as a
    three-times-per-week early evening quarter-hour show on  New Yorkbs  WOR.
    Sponsored by
    Kopperbs Sea-Board Coke  Company, the program was now entitled bThe
    Wayside
    [removed]  Bill Adams and Vivia Ogden were featured  as bPab and
    [removed]
    In later years, Bill Adams reminisced about being unable  to accept the
    lead role in bJust Plain Bill,b because its time-slot conflicted  with
    bThe
    Wayside Cottage,b in which he was then starring.  Many of my grandmotherbs
    friends were  heard in the series, including Fanny Mae Baldridge and Anne
    Elstner. Brian  Donlevy played a shady character in the opening installment,
    and
    child actors  Billy Halop, Walter Tetley, and Jimmie McCallion appeared
    from time to time. To  augment her income during the Depression, my
    grandmother
    played parts in many  episodes, too. bThe Wayside Cottageb drew more fan
    mail than any other series  she ever did.
    My question is this:  Mr. Dumont states that this show was  bheard in 1932
    and 1933 by listeners of WOR  (New York), WGN (Chicago), WLW  (Cincinnati),
    and WXYZ  (Detroit). Within three years, these  pioneer radio stations would
    become part of the newly-formed Mutual Broadcasting  [removed]   I was
    completely  unaware of this possibility, and always believed bThe Wayside
    Cottageb
     was  strictly a local WOR program. Can anyone  verify its wider
    dissemination via that group of stations?
    When my grandmother began her NBC series, bHillbilly  Heart-Throbs,b she
    stopped the WOR program.  It returned as a summer replacement on CBS in 1934,
    again with Bill Adams and  Vivia Ogden. CBS planned to revert to the
    original series title (bThe House  Beside the Roadb) which had been used
    by them
    in 1931, but bThe Wayside Cottageb  had since attracted a large audience
    on
    WOR.  ([removed] Daily Mirror radio columnist Nick Kenny being a major fan of
    the series).  As bThe Wayside Cottage,b it was heard for the last time, on
    CBS.
    Although my grandmotherbs contract with her agent, Jean  V. Grombach,
    alludes to recordings made of bThe Wayside Cottage,b I have never  seen or
    heard
    of them. I do have all of the scripts preserved by my grandmother,  and
    have written more about this program on the [removed]
    website.
     If anyone can verify the  appearance of bThe Wayside Cottageb on WGN,
    WLW, and WXYZ in 1932-33, Ibd be  most appreciative.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year to all,
    Jonathan

    Subject:  "Green Hornet" movie
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

            I must admit that based primarily on the trailers, the "Green Hornet"
    movie looks quite
    disappointing.  Of course, IMHO, this isn't the first time this has happened.
    Remember a few
    years ago when Alec Baldwin played the title role in "The Shadow" a movie
    remake of the
    radio series.  Too bad that when these movies are being made, more attention
    isn't given to
    ensuring that the integrity of the shows remains intact.  When they were on
    OTR, the characters
    were strong, the storylines were good, and they were memorable.  Not so with
    the movie
    adaptations.

            The trailers I've seen of the "Green Hornet' weren't at all
    impressive.  Apparently they decided
    to use the radio series as a backdrop for comedy skits.

            There was a TV version of "Green Hornet" done in the mid sixties
    which, although a bit corny
    had the requisite amount of character development and stayed fairly close to
    the OTR version, IMHO.
    This movie looks like a disaster waiting to happen!
