I think it was a short lived series....Very cheesy but entertaining. I appreciate you trying to figure it out! I looked again for a couple of hours yesterday but alas.....

It sounds like my cup of tea - I found an article which you probably did too (from 2004!), which noted that no episodes were known to exist at that time (not their exact wording but implied) - but that was 18 years ago, maybe one/some have turned up or will....

If no one minds I'll keep posting what I am missing for each of those years. Thanks to otrhead and Toebig I was able to get 5 fills for the year 1935. Fibber McGee and Molly is my favorite OTR comedy program.

Here is a list of the episodes I am missing from 1936. Again, If It Isn't on this list of missing episodes then I have it to share If anyone needs It.

Light's Golden Jubilee. October 21, 1929. Blue net, WJZ, New York aircheck. Sustaining. The program originates from The Edison Institute Of Technology, Dearborn, Michigan, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the electric light. Edison connects one of his original light bulbs, then shakes hands with Henry Ford and Herbert Hoover. From Philadelphia, a replica of the Liberty Bell is heard. "The Old Fashioned Ford Orchestra" plays "favorites of fifty years ago" (mostly deleted from this recording). Mr. Edison speaks for about two minutes. Herbert Hoover makes a speech in praise of Mr. Edison. Graham McNamee erroneously describes this as, "the first international broadcast." Albert Einstein speaks from Berlin (in German) The circuit from Germany is filled with static. The five note NBC chimes are heard. See also cat. #112021 for the audio of a sound film made that same day. Graham McNamee (announcer), Phillips Carlin (announcer), Thomas Edison, Herbert Hoover, Albert Einstein. 33:57

In 2010 I read news stories about a stash of recordings made on some obscure system called a "pallophotophone", recorded in the late 1920's, but apart from one very short clip nothing else was available to listen to. I see Goldin has that one item listed, but one of the original articles made it clear there were also a bunch of other recordings. Did any of the other recordings ever see the light of day?

Does anyone have episodes of the World Security Workshop? I believe there's just two episodes in circulation: 47-01-02 The Meadow (by Ray Bradbury) and 47-05-01 Conspiracy Out Of Space.

Can anyone help with a transfer of the 1948 Wrigley Christmas Party? This may only circulate under the AFRS retitled "A Christmas Festival". That would be fine too.

I'm looking for episodes of a 1947/48 Nelson Olmsted series out of Chicago where he reads short stories that appears under a number of titles including Nelson Olmsted Short Stories, Stories by Olmsted and just Nelson Olmsted but the episodes I'm looking for in particular are by Ray Bradbury, including "The Night," "One Timeless Spring," "The Miracle of Jamie" and "Powerhouse." Anyone have copies of these or know where I can find them? Thanks!

by Wildcat44 Thu 17 Nov - 8:36

Here's what I have. "The Night" is included.
