-- [ From: Me/Radio * [removed] #[removed] ] --

I have seen the logs that have been posted here recently for specific
[removed]'s Tavern, [removed]

Does anyone have a log for the CBS Mystery Theatre?


Also, I know a collector in the Boston area that will make copies of
some of the CBSMT programs for a small fee ($10)...he is not in the
'selling tapes' [removed]  So he operates kinda low-key and doesn't
advertise or anything like [removed]

If you are interested, E-mail me, and I will pass along his
name/address, etc.   (I've spoken with [removed] seems like a nice
[removed] again, he is not running a business that sells tapes, so he
operates kinda [removed])

Actually the Abbey is and was a group of players, a theater company with a
school (acting, set design, direction, etc.) and a group of actors that
perform in repertory. The original theater burnt down in the 50's I believe
and was replaced with what was then the cutting edge in theater architecture
but which, today, has the anonymous look and feel of a college theater.
Dublin's other theater group, The Gaiety, still performs in its
turn-of-the-century jewel of a theater. Though there is much competition
between the two (many of Brian Friel's new plays have premiered at the
Gaiety) the Abbey is the more historic and prestigious (Sean O'Casey's plays
premiered there and the company included actors the likes of Barry
Fitzgerald).
The Palladium in London is a vaudeville house, still used for concerts. The
Palace in New York was a vaudeville house now used for Broadway musicals.
Neither has a dramatic school or a troup of actors associated with it. The
parallels would be with the Royal Shakespeare Co. in London and the Globe or
perhaps the Guthrie here.
And what does this have to do with OTR?

How does $[removed] sound?

There's a photo of a Captain Midnight badge on the cover of the current
issue of The Cryptogram (The Journal of the American Cryptogram
Association).  There's no year on it.  It seems that someone is making
replicas of this badge.  If anyone's interested, they're two for $[removed]
(plus $[removed] shipping & handling); a lot more expensive than a label from a
jar of Ovaltine.  They can be ordered from:

The color designations of the three NBC radio netorks are said to have
derived from the different colors AT&T engineers used on maps showing the
routes followed by the permanent long lines set up for NBC beginning in
1926. Prior to December, 1928 (actually, I think it was Christmas eve of
that year) the Orange (Pacific Coast) network functioned autonomously, with
most network shows coming from KGO Oakland/San Francisco. After the above
date, a permanent, high-quality line was established coast-to-coast. A large
map designating NBC affiliates with, as appropriate, red, blue or orange
colored lights used to hang on the wall of the old NBC master control room
in the NBC Chicago studios in the Merchandise Mart. This map has been
preserved. Some day it will go on display at Chicago's Museum of Broadcast
Communications.

Thanks for the information, I will check it out. I am able to get some
network feeds, like Fox, so it might be possible for me to get CNR.

Thanks for the confirmation. I don't know if this was related to FM&M, but I
also remember other catch phrases, like:
Foghorn Leghorn (taken from Senator Cleghorn?): "That's a joke, Son!"
An Indian Chief in an unremembered title: "I hope, I hope, I [removed]" I also
don't know where the phrase came from.

This reminds me of the early days of television, when one station was 
often affiliated with more than one network.  Or, a station would be 
affiliated with one network, but would carry programs of other networks.  
Here in Boston, Channel 4 was affiliated with NBC, channel 7 with CBS, 
and the ABC and DuMont programs ended up on whatever station would carry 
them.  When Channel 5 came on as an ABC affiliate, it also carried 
various NBC and CBS programs that the other two stations weren't carrying.

Your entire post is very interesting.  I had never heard of the Orange 
Network.

[removed]'ve checked and George was born on January 20, 1896 from my sources.

BTW, although it's not OTR, I have an extra ticket to Kung Pow Kosher Comedy
in San Francisco at 6:00 PM tomorrow night.  The show is sold out.  A night
of Jewish comedy and a Chinese banquet.  Call 510-933-3879 ASAP to inquire.
Face value is $35 - make me an offer I can't refuse!
