    OK, I'm curious: What was #1?

    I know that there was a perverted child killer named Albert Fish who is
    not that well known because he was tried about the same time as Bruno
    Hauptmann, but this would have been a few years later, after Hauptmann
    was caught trying to spend the gold certificates.

    -- Tom Kirby

    [removed] Don't confuse Albert Fish with Isidore Fisch, the man Hauptmann
    said the gold certificates belonged to.

    Subject:  Halo again

    Our friend Stuart Lubin, referencing the Mr. & Mrs. North jingle for Halo
    shampoo, believes he "read somewhere that its melody had come from a popular
    song, or greeting, of the day."  I'm unable to answer that yet hopeful some
    astute observer will throw some light there.  In the meantime, having
    launched this thread, I'll persist:

    >From its earliest days as an aural advertiser, Colgate-Palmolive-Peet --
    whose breakthrough on the ether effectively dates to network radio's
    beginnings -- aired some of the most charismatic tunes in audio commercials.
    CP's bouncy jingles weren't only beguiling but prolific.  By the 1940s and
    1950s, those strains emanated from several spots on the dial every week as
    the manufacturer's glut of situation comedies, audience participation series
    and mystery dramas replaced most of its earlier surfeit of soap operas,
    variety shows and musical features.

    Who could forget the memorable melody that accompanied this refrain?  "Halo,
    everybody, Halo!  Halo is the shampoo that glorifies your hair, so Halo,
    everybody, Halo!"  Or this ditty?  "Lustre-Creme is Hollywood's fav'rite,
    Lustre-Creme shampoo ... It never dries ... It beautifies ..." et al.  Or
    this?  "Brush your teeth with Colgate, Colgate Dental Cream, It cleans your
    breath ... what a toothpaste ... while it guards your [removed]"  And one of
    the great exhortations etched in the minds of listeners earlier:  "Super
    Suds, Super Suds, Lots more suds with Super Suds!"

    Colgate-Palmolive-Peet was one of the firms that left America singing.  And
    its effective use of repetitive, playful numbers with easy-to-remember
    lyrics translated frequently into cash registers ringing.  That had to be a
    nice tune in any advertiser's ear.

    Parenthetically, there are more words to these jingles than shown here.
    Many of you know them.  Would you believe that some remain under copyright
    laws?  Printing their text in full causes publishers to turn squeamish.  For
    that reason, abbreviated forms suffice.

    On aB recent digest Ron Sales mentioned in his birth and death dates:

    03-22-1931 - William Shatner - Montreal, Canada
    actor: "The Curse"; "No Love Lost"; "The Secretariat"

    CanB  anyone tell me if those programs were part of a series, and if they are
    available?

    I do a OTR radio education program called "Before they were famous" and would
    like to include Mr. Shatner as anB  example.

    Just saw Ron Sayles' mention of a Harry Sosnick who appeared in the Pennzoil
    Parade. I'm involved in the 150th anniversary celebration of the Drake Well
    oil discovery, and I'd love to know more about the Pennzoil Parade (it
    doesn't appear in Dunning.) Can anyone tell me more? They just tracked down
    on of the Penny Pennzoils who worked trade shows in the '50s.

    Off-list responses are fine. Thanks.

    With the discussion recently about Leon Janney - you might want to listen to
    an interview with Mr. Janney from 1976, as heard on "The Golden Age of Radio"
    with Dick Bertel on WTIC in Hartford. All of "The Golden Age of Radio"
    programs are at this website, including shows featuring people whose
    birthdays are in March and April: Glenn Miller and Mandel Kramer in March,
    and Leon Janney, Gale Storm, Lowell Thomas, Hans Conreid, Les Tremayne, Betty
    Lou Gerson, Ken Coleman, and Robert Anderson were all born in April.

    At the same site, you can hear "A One Night Stand with the Big Bands," with
    Arnold Dean; featured on this series were Harry James, Duke Ellington, Gene
    Krupa, and nearly every other big name in the Big Band Era.

    Subject:  #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!

    A weekly [removed]

    For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
    Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
    and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
    over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
    of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
    real-time OTR talk!

    Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
    others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
    range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
    it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
    it's always a good time!

    For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
    week and every week!
