Sharing Shows from my collection

Here's one for you investigators

Ted Davenport

Hello friends. I survived watching my 2 year old great-grandson over the weekend!!! He has more energy than a perpetual motion machine!! I need help from you out there this time. I digitized a reel that had no cue sheets and I can't determine the series on this reel. Can any of you tell me the name of the series?

OK folks, here is my posting for tonight. The show that started my love affair with OTR. I remember my Dad talking about Inner Sanctum and a local man (George Jennings) had a personal collection, so I bought a cassette from a Water Bed store, believe it or not!!! It was a friend of his & I drove a long way to pick it up. I have been hooked ever since. Here is the show that opened my imagination. I hope that you enjoy it.

Getting an early start on the posting today. This is for all of you news junkies. You seemed to like what I posted on Sen McCarthy so here is part 1 of his address to the Republican National Convention in 1952. I do have the complete broadcast.

Well, it's about that time again. How about a program from 91 years ago. Yeah, way back in 1932. I always liked these shows. Plenty of action. If only I had been able to hear them when I was about 12 or so. Oh well, I am able to hear them now. I hope that you enjoy it.

Synopsis:
Box 13, starred Alan Ladd as Dan Holiday while Sylvia Picker played Suzy, Dan Holiday's secretary, and Edmond MacDonald played Lt. Kling. Other stars in the series were Betty Lou Gerson, Lurene Tuttle, Alan Reed, Luis van Rooten, John Beal, and Frank Lovejoy. Music was by Rudy Schrager and the writer was Russell Hughes. The announcer-director was Vern Carstensen and the series was produced by Richard Sanville with Alan Ladd as co-producer.
The premise of the program was that Dan Holiday was an author who wrote mystery novels. To get ideas for his novels he placed an advertisement in a newspaper saying “Adventure wanted, will go anywhere, do anything, Box 13.” The ads always brought fun adventures of all kinds: from racketeer's victim to psychotic killer looking for fun. Most of the episodes were based on Dan Holiday replying to a letter he received at Box 13.
Holiday would generally solve a mystery in the process and return to his office in time to enjoy a hearty laugh at the expense of Suzi, his amusingly stupid secretary. He would certainly not meet the strictest requirements for private eyes (he was not licensed nor did he collect fees from clients), but definitions could probably be stretched to sneak him in under the rope.
In total there were 52 episodes of this radio program created. It was heard over the Mutual Broadcasting System as well as being syndicated. The series was produced by Mayfair Productions.

I just finished digitizing a reel of these shows and I was very impressed with Eileen Barton!!! I really loved her jazz rendition of Alexander's Ragtime Band, one of my favorite tunes. A pity she only made 13 of these shows. I hope that you enjoy this.

I'm in the mood for an Orson Welles Shadow episode. Anybody else that might enjoy that?
SHADOW, THE 01-23-38 Society Of the Living Dead

[Sorry, Folks, it's the Cobalt Police again. We are forbidden to post *Shadow* shows due to copyright infringement.  To me, that's sad since *The Shadow and Doc Savage* were the first shows our Club posted back in the early days. . . . But things have changed.  Please check the copyright page before posting shows; there aren't that many, but they are select, and we can't afford to have lawyers breathing down our necks.  Jeff (Ghemrats)]

Some of you were interested in the McCarthy hearings that I posted & wanted more. Here is the next disc on those. I hate to be mercenary, but I am in business to sell this material so, if you want even more, you will have to contact me at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Anyway, here is the next segment.

All right. Here are the first 5 episodes in a book. That is how the episodes are listed. This should give you a feel for the series to see if you like it or not. I have a One Man's Family album that has an inscription to me from Carleton E. Morse (creator & writer) and Page Gilman (Jack Barbor). I hope that you enjoy these shows as much as I do.

What's up this week, off the shelves and out of the boxes? We haven't had anything from Bulldog Drummond for a while. This one originally heard June 23, 1948.

WOW!!! 15 files!

Since the response was so good for One Man's Family, I have decided to post the rest of the episodes from Book 79. I am posting so many because I want to give everybody a chance to download what they want for March. I will be back in April for more postings. If there is anything you would like to see me post, drop me a line.

Synopsis:
Hallmark Playhouse was introduced on June 10, 1948 as a summer dramatic series bankrolled by the Hall Bros., Inc. which had been sponsoring the Radio Reader’s Digest for the previous two years. In the autumn of that year, the Playhouse ratings helped convince Hallmark executives that they no longer wanted to have their cards marketed alongside the Reader’s Digest magazines and dropped the Digest program entirely in favor of continuing the Playhouse.
The package was negotiated by Jack Hunt, account executive for Foote, Cone & Belding with the CBS network and the estimated initial cost for talent was $5,250 per week. By the end of 1948, the Hall Bros. were on pace to spend $1,500,000 per year on the show, about half of the company’s entire advertising budget and a reported 10% of its gross income. James Hilton, a British novelist, was convinced to serve as the voice of the program, both as host and story selector.
Dee Englebach was the first producer-director with Lyn Murray responsible for musical direction and Frank Goss serving as announcer. Notable scriptwriters including Jean Holloway, Milton Geiger, and the team of Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee were regular contributors to the program. The cast changed from week to week, with radio workhorses such as Barb Eiler, Earle Ross, Howard McNear, and Lurene Tuttle assuming many roles and Hollywood names like Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Joan Fontaine, and Irene Dunn providing a dash of star power.
The Hallmark Playhouse ran for almost five years, from June 1948 to February 1, 1953. The series was overhauled in the course of a week and The Hallmark Hall of Fame premiered on February 8, 1953. Gone was the man of letters James Hilton and in his place was the inimitable Lionel Barrymore who introduced weekly profiles of famous figures from history including Sam Houston, Mary Todd Lincoln, and Albert Schweitzer. The Hallmark Hall of Fame aired for two years from 1953 until 1955 before transitioning to television in a series of productions that still air to this day.
