Wednesdays are going to be a normal in-person day for me - but it is also the day when I will be making house calls to my squirrel friends.&nbsp; There were a good number of squirrels who had bald patches on campus - a sign of mange.&nbsp; If there was a red mark on the skin - that meant they were scratching.&nbsp; I think I will make Wednesday my main medicine distribution day - so I do not give any of the squirrels too much Ivermectin.&nbsp; I did not see some of my friends who had the worst cases, but I will check on Friday.&nbsp; Hopefully we will get these squirrels on their way to healthy living soon.&nbsp; Many squirrels will share a nest and that is how mange will spread.&nbsp; Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.</li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc;

I have started up a number of series of blog posts on the Golden Age of Radio - or old time radio. I have focused on Christmas, Thanksgiving, diet, baseball, African-Americans, world travel and lighthouses. Today I am starting a new series that I have been planning for some time. As a librarian (13+ years at the University of Michigan), I have long wanted to match my love of old time radio with my profession. So today, I start up my new series - Librarians on Old Time Radio. I am going to feature programs that have librarians and related information professionals in key roles in the story. These might be fairly straight forward - or only tangentially related to librarianship. Maybe there is a minor part of a librarian in the story. Anyway, I should have a good number of episodes to feature over the upcoming months. I hope to feature one entry a week. Hope you enjoy them.
Among the very best shows that were broadcast during the Golden Age of Radio, the CBS Network's Suspense really stands out as one of the best of the best. Radio's "outstanding theater of thrills" had a 20 year run on CBS - starting in 1942. In fact, the last Suspense episode in 1962 marks the end of the Golden Age of Radio. As you might imagine for a program that ran for 20 years, you have a great combination of excellent stories and fantastic production values. If CBS was the best network on the radio, this was their star attraction. Week in, and week out, they had one amazing program after another. One of the reasons why I love listening to the early episodes is because I enjoy the sponsor, Roma Wines. Their commercials are the best - Salute!
So maybe I should have held this one back - but why not start with a bang! On September 20th, 1945, Suspense featured the great actress Myrna Loy as Prudence Roberts, in their production of "Library Book." We open with Prudence Roberts at the circulation desk at a librarian answering a phone call to see if they carry or carried the Racing Form. We are then have a patron return a book the counter. Gone With The Wind was returned 2 days late (that would be 4 cents) when the patron mentioned that pages 931 and 932 were pulled from the book. So Prudence followed the rules and wanted to charge the patron who returned the book for the vandalized copy of this work. The last thing she wanted to do was to buy another best-seller. When a colleague interceded and suggested that if the patron vandalized the book, would she have brought it up? While many might have tossed the now damaged book aside, she discovered that words were marked up on page 933. While Gone With The Wind is a romance, this is becoming a mystery. (Though to the young boy who thought it was about airplanes, it was very disappointing). Prudence discovers that the missing page and the one afterwards are leading to a kidnapping plot.
Joining Myrna Loy in the cast were Cathy Lewis, Wally Maher, Conrad Binyon, & Joseph Kearns as the announcer. The story is based on the 1939 short story by Cornell Woolrich called "The Book That Squealed." It was adapted by William Spier, who also directed the episode. I hope you enjoy this episode, albeit filled with the stereotypical depictions of librarians, but the accurate telling of our love of rules!

I would not normally be on campus during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, but a house call was in order.&nbsp; There were a good number of squirrels who had bald patches on campus - a sign of mange.&nbsp; If there was a red mark on the skin - that meant they were scratching.&nbsp; I gave a whole bunch the first dose and I needed to wait a week to get them dose number two.&nbsp; Hence the decision to come in during the break.&nbsp; I think I will make Wednesday my main medicine distribution day - so I do not give any of the squirrels too much Ivermectin.&nbsp; I did have to pickup more treated pecans from my contact at Friends of Wildlife.&nbsp; I will need to get more soon as lots of squirrels had mange.&nbsp; Two had really large bald patches.&nbsp; Martha (over by Martha Cook) was very happy to see me and I will get a second dose next week.&nbsp; Hatcher was one squirrel I saw on the Diag who had more scratches on the bald spot.&nbsp; The one I did not see was Max Power - who I gave a first dose on the 21st.&nbsp; I will look again when I am back on campus next week. &nbsp; Hopefully we will get these squirrels on their way to healthy living soon.&nbsp; Many squirrels will share a nest and that is how mange will spread.&nbsp; Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.</li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial;

text-align: center;"> </div> If you live in Michigan, you have seen ad after ad bashing Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens during her speech on the floor of the House of Representatives.&nbsp; It was passionate and it was rushed.&nbsp; Her opponents are viewing it as hysterical.&nbsp; And while it is hard to hear (and that is the case when you are trying to squeeze a three minute speech into 60 or 90 seconds), it is good stuff.Haley Sevens represents the 11th Congressional District of Michigan.&nbsp; She is not my Representative, but I would be very proud if she were.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her passionate speech was rushed because clearly it was too long for the allotted time.&nbsp; And as she recognized this, she spoke faster and faster.&nbsp;&nbsp;While the text is below, many conservative critics have focused on her glove and her appearance.&nbsp; If you read the text below, you would definitely see someone who understood the gravity of our crisis back in March.&nbsp; This is definitely someone who deserves our vote and our support.&nbsp; Not our mockery.Here is a link to the March 27th House of Representative Congressional Record:&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.congress.gov/116/crec/2020/03/27/CREC-2020-03-27-house.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1603282037907000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEmq_NpStdpKSpD4IJEnc7hTBXrKw" href="https://www.congress.gov/116/crec/2020/03/27/CREC-2020-03-27-house.pdf" style="color: #1155cc;

So I have been very, very fortunate over the past year.&nbsp; Maybe not everything was perfect - but from a squirrel perspective - it was a great year.&nbsp; I thought it might be fun to pull together some of the highlights of my squirrel obsessed life in 2019.&nbsp; It was a banner year - and I hope to do this every year for Squirrel Appreciation Day - January 21st.

On Friday April 5th, 2019, I got my picture of the year.&nbsp; There is a cavity nest in the Law Quad in a tree that has since been taken down.&nbsp; I had seen this squirrel coming out of her cavity nest a few times, but I got the picture of the year one day around 10am when I got a great old yawn as she left the nest.&nbsp; I loved this picture right from the time I first saw it. 
 
I decided that it would be a perfect one to send to the Comedy Wildlife Awards.&nbsp; I was thrilled when it was selected as a semi-finalist and then a finalist.&nbsp; In November, it was announced that this picture was recognized as <a href="https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/winners/comedy-widlife-2019-competition-winners.php">Highly Commended!</a> 
 
Michigan Today Podcast 
 
When I was asked by Deborah Holdship if I wanted to do a podcast about my interest in squirrels - I believe I said something to the extent of "you had me at squirrels."&nbsp; We did this late in the year and it came out just before the holidays.

When the Ross School of Business launched their Online MBA this year, the team they assembled to support the new endeavor were located in our suite.&nbsp; Among the team they brought in was <a href="https://toonmertens.be/about">Toon Mertens</a>, a tremendous videographer who would produce a number of videos for the online program.&nbsp; They wanted to create a prototype of a 'pitch' video that faculty could use to attract attention for their classes from students.
 
I had just met Toon and he 'pitched' the idea to me upon returning from a February vacation.&nbsp; I was hoping that he would find a better idea - but he persisted.&nbsp; So off we went - co-writing this piece.&nbsp; Furthermore, he asked me questions that were recorded to get more spontaneity.&nbsp; This is a version that does not have the Block M - but it is just as much fun.&nbsp; This was tremendous fun. 
 
Albino Squirrels in Olney, Illinois 
 
Barbie National Convention was in Kansas City this year and Pam and I decided to drive.&nbsp; I learned about the albino squirrel population in Olney, Illinois from a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/ever-seen-a-white-squirrel-meet-the-guy-whos-keeping-tabs-on-them-nationwide/2019/04/14/c38e4822-5c7e-11e9-9625-01d48d50ef75_story.html">great article in the Squirrel Week</a> Series from <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/john-kelly/">John Kelly of the Washington Post</a>.&nbsp; When I discovered that it was kinda on the way from Michigan to Kansas City, a plan was hatched!

We spent one night in Olney.&nbsp; On the first day, we visited&nbsp;with Belinda Henton, a certified wildlife rehabilitator and she invited me to look her up when we got into town.&nbsp; Pam and I went out to visit.&nbsp; She had a newborn albino (you can tell by the white in the nails) who needs to be bottle fed as it fell out of a nest.&nbsp; Then there was Rocky Dale.&nbsp; Rocky Dale seems to have suffered some brain damage as a result of a fall.&nbsp; He can move around, but only turns left (so he picked up the name Dale to honor the NASCAR legend).&nbsp; She let me hold Rocky Dale and he climbed all over me.&nbsp; It was amazing and the most fun I have had in a good while.&nbsp; She said that Rocky Dale is not like that with everyone - so that felt good.

The following day, I got this great picture of an albino squirrel by the Olney Library - because you can always find everything you need at the library! 
 
The Squirrel Doctor Makes House Calls 
 
I once spoke with a faculty member at Michigan who also is a fan of squirrels - and she mentioned about medication you can give squirrels who have mange.&nbsp; So when I started noticing some squirrels with mange in the Law Quad, I reached out to the Friends of Wildlife Michigan.&nbsp; They connected me with someone who has worked up some medicated pecans for me to feed the squirrel. Each dose is two pecans - to be given one week apart.

Here is "Patches O'Houlihan" on Monday July 1st 2019 in the Law Quad.&nbsp; This was a couple of days after I gave her the first dose.&nbsp; I named all the patients after characters in the 2004 movie "DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story."

Here is Patches on August 7th, 2019.&nbsp; Her fur had almost entirely grown back, with the exception of this area on her left leg that she was agitating.&nbsp; Over the coming months, it would be harder and harder to tell which ones had mange - so that was wonderful news. 
 
Project 365 Squirrel Pictures at the University of Michigan 
 
Here are all my pictures of the day featuring squirrels from the University of Michigan during 2019!

Lefty! 
 
I do not give all the squirrels names - but one is so famous, she has actually two names.&nbsp; In December 2018, I first noticed a squirrel who was missing her front right paw.&nbsp; She also had part of her right ear removed.&nbsp; I have named her Lefty - though colleagues at the President's House and Tappan Hall call her Tripod.&nbsp; She has been seen in Law Quad, behind Martha Cook, in front of the Clements Library and by the President's House.&nbsp; All these locations are near South University.
 
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/cseeman/32439323437/" title="276/365/3928 (March 14, 2019) - Fox Squirrels on a Wet Late Winter's Day in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan - March 14th, 2019"><img alt="276/365/3928 (March 14, 2019) - Fox Squirrels on a Wet Late Winter's Day in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan - March 14th, 2019" height="333" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7852/32439323437_a0a10175b1.jpg" width="500" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
 
I have seen a great deal of Lefty over the course of the year.&nbsp; There isn't a day where she does not cheer me up.&nbsp; She does great and does not suffer one bit by having three paws. 
 
 
Dude is an Artist! 
 
On December 1st, 2019, I participated in my first art show and showed a number of squirrel related items featuring my wonderful campus squirrels.&nbsp; This wonderful event was very well attended and featured 20 artists (including me) at the <a href="https://mbgna.umich.edu/">Matthaei Botanical Gardens</a> (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor).&nbsp; I also had my photos at Carrigan Cafe in Saline in September.&nbsp; Seems I will be the regular September artist at the cafe for the next few years!

Delmarva Peninsula Fox Squirrels 
 
We were in Baltimore for the Integrity Toys Convention.&nbsp; Two hours to the south is Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.&nbsp; Was it worth driving nearly two hours each way from Baltimore to see these little ones - ABSOLUTELY!&nbsp; Here are pictures of&nbsp; Delmarva peninsula fox squirrels I saw on the trails near Wildlife Drive.&nbsp; I was very excited to see these squirrels for the first time on the Marsh Edge Trail and the Woods Trail along Wildlife Drive.&nbsp; They were tricky to photograph - as they were constantly moving and deep in the brush on the bottom of these wooded areas.&nbsp; So I did each trail at least three times to make sure that I got to see as many as I did.&nbsp; I ended up tossing nearly 2/3 of the pictures because they were not good.&nbsp; The squirrels are fantastic and I am so glad that I made the trip.

This is my first visit to this wonderful refuge - and hopefully not the last.&nbsp; Taken on Thursday October 10th, 2019.

Been an exciting year - from a squirrel perspective!&nbsp; Here's hoping for another great year in 2020!

Here is my fourth entry in my&nbsp;Librarians on Old Time Radio series.&nbsp; After two episodes featuring crimes and one featuring the old American West, I think it is only fitting that we feature one of the comedies.&nbsp; Sometimes the comedies do not translate well to modern sensibilities and tastes, but they are part of the genre and definitely part of the culture at the time.&nbsp; And since immigration is such a common story in the news these days, spending a half an hour with Luigi Basco might be in order.

Wrigley Building in Chicago - May 2014</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
 
 </div>
From 1948 to 1953, CBS Radio featured a weekly half-hour situation comedy telling the story of a recent immigrant to the United States in the times after World War II.&nbsp; The program is Life With Luigi, a comedy series staring J. Carrol Naish in the title role. It was the brain-child of Cy Howard and starred J. Carrol Naish plays the title character, Luigi Basco, who was spending his new life in Chicago.&nbsp; Character actor Alan Reed (maybe best known as the voice of Fred Flinstone) plays Pasquale, Luigi's sponsor and best friend.&nbsp; Each of the episodes starts off this the same opening - as announcer&nbsp;Bob Stevenson would say:
<div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We invite you to enjoy life – Life with Luigi – a new comedy show created by Cy Howard and starring that celebrated actor, Mr. J. Carroll Nash with Alan Reed as Pasquale.&nbsp;</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A year ago, when Luigi Basco left Italy to start his new life in America, he promised his mother that he would write and tell her about his adventures. So now let’s read Luigi’s letter as he writes to Momma Basco in Italy.&nbsp;</blockquote>
The episode we are featuring first aired on May 1st, 1951. Luigi starts off (as he does each week) with his letter to Momma Basco and was talking about a great picnic they went to back in the old country.&nbsp; Then it goes to their citizenship class as it often does.&nbsp; But all the students, immigrants from all over Europe, could not remember who wrote the Village Blacksmith (it was Longfellow).&nbsp; What had the students all worked up?&nbsp; They were all going to Riverview Park that coming Sunday, and everyone had two tickets. So who were they going to bring?&nbsp; Would Luigi bring Rosa?&nbsp; Nope, he needed a real date...but where?
 
He finds a date in a place he was not expecting - the library.&nbsp; He had to go there after class to return a book that was overdue.&nbsp; It did not take him longer to read, but he was lending the book to others.&nbsp; He seemed to be running his own private library.&nbsp; But talking with the librarian led to small talk - and the next thing you knew, Luigi had a date to the park.&nbsp; Sure they took advantage of making all the librarian jokes you can think of - they do have a certain charm.&nbsp; But when&nbsp;Pasquale finds out that he is not taking Rosa, he places a bet that he would not get a kiss that day.&nbsp; And things do not end exactly as Luigi might have wanted, but they were good in the end.&nbsp; The cast includes&nbsp;J. Carrol Naish, Alan Reed, Mary Shipp, Joe Forte, Ken Peters, Hans Conried, Jody Gilbert and was written by Mac Benoff and Lou Derman.
 
While a comedy, I think they always respected the characters and what they did to come to the States.&nbsp; There were a number of programs that had immigrants as major characters, but this is one of the best known.&nbsp; Kinda interesting when you listen to the episodes today.&nbsp; I hope you enjoy.

Here is my third entry in my new series -&nbsp;Librarians on Old Time Radio.&nbsp; I am going to feature programs that have librarians and related information professionals in key roles in the story.&nbsp; These might be fairly straight forward - or only tangentially related to librarianship.&nbsp; This episode features a a detective/crime series that I have always loved.&nbsp; I am moving this to the front of this series because I heard this on XM recently when driving back from Pittsburgh - not Boston.

One of my favorite Old Time Radio series is Boston Blackie. &nbsp;These crime stories always leave the police, especially Police Inspector Farraday, frustrated and befuddled. &nbsp;But to the rescue is Boston Blackie - who always solves the crime and saves the day. &nbsp;Each of episodes starts the same way - with this phrase that says everything you need to know about Boston Blackie: 
 
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Enemy of those who make him an enemy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
&nbsp;friend to those who have no friend."</div>
 
<div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
Remember that phrase! &nbsp;Boston Blackie moves effortlessly on both sides of the law, but is primarily interested in doing what is right. &nbsp;If that means working with the police, then so be it! &nbsp;The character was created by author Jack Boyle, Boston Blackie was a safecracker who served time in prison before turning his attention to making things right. &nbsp;The most well known episodes were syndicated by Frederic W. Ziv to Mutual and other networks after World War II. &nbsp;Staring in the role as Boston Blackie was Richard Kollmar. &nbsp;Mary Wesley (his constant companion) was played by Jan Miner. &nbsp;Maurice Tarplin plays Police Inspector Farraday, who starts off most episodes with the belief that no matter what the crime was, Blackie was involved. &nbsp;Tarplin is also know as the voice of the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.archive.org/details/TheMysteriousTraveler">Mysterious Traveler</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://archive.org/details/OTRR_Strange_Dr_Weird_Singles">The Strange Dr. Weird</a>. &nbsp;</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
 </div>
On September 3rd, 1946 - the ABC Radio Network broadcast an episode known as the "Stolen Rare Book." It starts out with Mary Wesley looking for a valuable first edition of a book at the local library.&nbsp; She is heading to the rare book vault to see the work - when someone alerts everyone that the attendant there has collapsed.&nbsp; So when Inspector Farraday shows up, so does Boston Blackie.&nbsp; But in the hubub of the collapsing attendant - it seems that a rare book has been stolen.&nbsp; Blackie and Mary Wesley discover that the person who noticed the collapsing attendant works for a rare book dealer Harold Benson - and might be responsible for the missing volume.&nbsp; And while they were thinking that Benson might be involved - the story and the case changes when it is discovered that the rare book dealer was murdered.&nbsp; So as you might imagine - there are all sorts of "keep quiet" librarian gags throughout the episode.&nbsp; But once again, Boston Blackie saves the day and figures out the crime.

<div style="text-align: center;">
My Nancy Pearl Action Figure back in 2009 on my old office toy all.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
She is one heck of a librarian!</div>
 
Here is my second entry in my new series -&nbsp;Librarians on Old Time Radio.&nbsp; I am going to feature programs that have librarians and related information professionals in key roles in the story.&nbsp; These might be fairly straight forward - or only tangentially related to librarianship.&nbsp; Maybe there is a minor part of a librarian in the story.&nbsp; Anyway, I should have a good number of episodes to feature over the upcoming months.&nbsp; I hope to feature one entry a week - but this last week got past me - fingers crossed for catching up soon.&nbsp; Hope you enjoy them.
 
In the late 1950s, there was one network that was producing great radio programming.&nbsp; It was the same network that we featured last week with their landmark program, <a href="https://cseeman.blogspot.com/2019/01/librarians-on-old-time-radio-damaged.html">Suspense</a>. While during the late 1950s, networks were focused on television, CBS produced a number of great programs for the medium of radio.&nbsp; Some of these programs were relatively short lived, but thankfully, we still have them.&nbsp; One of them was a vehicle for CBS Radio star John Dehner, who I featured a few years back on the <a href="https://cseeman.blogspot.com/2015/11/old-time-radio-john-dehner-centennial.html">centennial of his birth</a>.&nbsp; John Dehner was practically a regular guest star on Gunsmoke, appearing in over 200 episodes.&nbsp; When you needed a bad villain, you called John.&nbsp; When you needed a good villain, you called John.&nbsp; Pretty much, you called John.&nbsp; He would star in the radio program Have Gun, Will Travel (also on the CBS Network) and that would start only weeks after the show I am featuring today,&nbsp;Frontier Gentleman.&nbsp; This was one of the adult western programs that CBS offered, but with an interesting twist.
 
From the Digital Deli entry (linked below), they described Frontier Gentleman thusly: 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The protagonist of the series is J.B. Kendall, a cashiered British Cavalry officer who spent most of his military career in the Punjab area of India. He takes a position with the London Times, on assignment to cover the developing frontier of the Montana and Wyoming Territories of America during the 1870s. His portfolio is to transmit first-person accounts of the roaring American frontier, offering insights into that tumultous time of exploration, colonization, warring Indian tribes, and the rampant anarchy still prevalent in most of the frontier towns of the era."</blockquote>
While there were only 41 episodes of this program, that ran from February to November, 1958, it is a fun way to see the American west through the eyes of an outsider.&nbsp; John Dehner's J.B. Kendall uses the column that he would have written as a frame for his adventures, much like Johnny Dollar used the expense reports.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
On October 5th, 1958 (toward the end of its only season on the air), the episode broadcast was called "The Librarian".&nbsp; In this episode, a widower by the name of Almira Danworthy from out east tries to scare off a settler who is trying to take over her land claim. She was a librarian out east and moved west with her husband. After being swindled by a shady land developer, they found themselves on this plot that they had to develop - or lose. But in working the land, her husband died of exhaustion. But in returning to their land, she discovered that someone else had taken over the property, a Confederate veteran.&nbsp; So, its just another story of a librarian who has to share space with people who don't belong.&nbsp; Alas, some things never change.&nbsp; Joining John Dehner in the cast is Virginia Gregg as the librarian, Vic Perrin (billed as "Richard Perkins" - from the RadioGOLDINdex), Charles Seel, Eddie Firestone with Bud Sewell as the announcer.&nbsp; The story was written by Tom Hanley and Antony Ellis was the producer and director.

Lots of Damaged Books Here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kresge Library (Michigan) Collection Surplus - July 17, 2014</div>
 
I have started up a number of series of blog posts on the Golden Age of Radio - or old time radio.&nbsp; I have focused on Christmas, Thanksgiving, diet, baseball, African-Americans, world travel and lighthouses.&nbsp; Today I am starting a new series that I have been planning for some time.&nbsp; As a librarian (13+ years at the University of Michigan), I have long wanted to match my love of old time radio with my profession.&nbsp; So today, I start up my new series - Librarians on Old Time Radio.&nbsp; I am going to feature programs that have librarians and related information professionals in key roles in the story.&nbsp; These might be fairly straight forward - or only tangentially related to librarianship.&nbsp; Maybe there is a minor part of a librarian in the story.&nbsp; Anyway, I should have a good number of episodes to feature over the upcoming months.&nbsp; I hope to feature one entry a week.&nbsp; Hope you enjoy them.
 
Among the very best shows that were broadcast during the Golden Age of Radio, the CBS Network's&nbsp;Suspense&nbsp;really stands out as one of the best of the best. &nbsp;Radio's "outstanding theater of thrills" had a 20 year run on CBS - starting in 1942. &nbsp;In fact, the last Suspense episode in 1962 marks the end of the Golden Age of Radio.&nbsp; As you might imagine for a program that ran for 20 years, you have a great combination of excellent stories and fantastic production values.&nbsp; If CBS was the best network on the radio, this was their star attraction.&nbsp; Week in, and week out, they had one amazing program after another.&nbsp; One of the reasons why I love listening to the early episodes is because I enjoy the sponsor, Roma Wines. &nbsp;Their commercials are the best - Salute!&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
So maybe I should have held this one back - but why not start with a bang!&nbsp; On September 20th, 1945, Suspense featured the great actress Myrna Loy as Prudence Roberts, in their production of "Library Book."&nbsp;We open with Prudence Roberts at the circulation desk at a librarian answering a phone call to see if they carry or carried the Racing Form. We are then have a patron return a book the counter. Gone With The Wind was returned 2 days late (that would be 4 cents) when the patron mentioned that pages 931 and 932 were pulled from the book. So Prudence followed the rules and wanted to charge the patron who returned the book for the vandalized copy of this work. The last thing she wanted to do was to buy another best-seller. When a colleague interceded and suggested that if the patron vandalized the book, would she have brought it up? While many might have tossed the now damaged book aside, she discovered that words were marked up on page 933. While Gone With The Wind is a romance, this is becoming a mystery. (Though to the young boy who thought it was about airplanes, it was very disappointing). Prudence discovers that the missing page and the one afterwards are leading to a kidnapping plot.
 
Joining Myrna Loy in the cast were Cathy Lewis, Wally Maher, Conrad Binyon, &amp; Joseph Kearns as the announcer. The story is based on the 1939 short story by Cornell Woolrich called&nbsp;"The Book That Squealed." It was adapted by William Spier, who also directed the episode. I hope you enjoy this episode, albeit filled with the stereotypical depictions of librarians, but the accurate telling of our love of rules!

Once again, as we have reached the 25th Day of my Old Time Radio blog celebrating Christmas, we are at my other favorite episodes - or series of episodes: The Elgin Watch Specials. These 2 hour shows are too long to be broadcast on&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>, but are simply the best part of the holidays for me, especially if you are cooking in the Christmas. Or you can see my previous&nbsp;<a href="http://cseeman.blogspot.com/search/label/Old%20Time%20Radio%20Christmas">OTR Christmas entries</a>&nbsp;(or drop to the bottom of this message).&nbsp; These have been fun to share and I hope that you have enjoyed them.&nbsp; I am wishing you a Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a great new year.

One of the really cool shows I stumbled onto a few years back were the&nbsp;Elgin Seasonal Specials for Thanksgiving and Christmas&nbsp;in the 1940s. These were also known as Elgin's "2 Hours of Stars." &nbsp;The shows were sponsored by the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgin_National_Watch_Company">Elgin Watch Company</a>&nbsp;of Elgin, Illinois. Starting in 1942 for the soldiers overseas, the Elgin Holiday Specials were two hour programs that featured the brightest stars in radio and the movies. Heard on these programs is Bing Crosby, Mario Landa, Jimmy Durante, Bob Hope and were all hosted by Don Ameche. The Internet Archives has five total shows (see the link below). One of the real treats takes place one hour into the show from 1945. Jack Benny gave a twisted performance of Sorry Wrong Number, one of the most iconic episodes of Suspense. Also, given that the program runs 2 hours, these are not commonly played on current radio programs like XM 148.
 
I read that the specials had very different purposes. &nbsp;The Thanksgiving shows were to get you to think about Elgin Watches and accessories for Christmas gifts. &nbsp;The Christmas shows were to get you to think about Elgin Watches as you cashed in your gift certificates that you might have received for the holidays. &nbsp;Variety reported in June 1949: 
<blockquote>
Shows last year cost Elgin an estimated $100,000 each, of which $26,000 went for network time and $60,000 for talent. First program to get the axe was the Christmas package, which was aimed at coaxing recipents of gift certificates into post-holiday buying of timepieces. Last year's January business, however, was reportedly so far from expectations that the watch company figured it has a white elephant on its hand. J. Walter Thomson agency made a fight to save the plum, with no luck.</blockquote>
As a great variety show that lasts two hours, it is a perfect thing to have on your radio (or computer) as you cook the Christmas meal. &nbsp;It has been on the radio in my kitchen these last few years over the holidays. &nbsp;Though we are not cooking for Christmas this year, it is a regular for me and will be my go-to Old Time Radio program for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. &nbsp;I hope some day to write up something more in-depth on this program. 
 
Here are links right to the Elgin's Christmas Shows:

Summary: &nbsp;The show features and all star list of radio and movie actors including: Ginny Simms, Eddie Anderson, Jack Benny, Louis Silvers and His Orchestra, Manny Klein, The Swing Wing, The Charioteers, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Carmen Miranda, Joseph Szigeti, The Les Paul Trio, Barbara Jo Allen, Bob Hope, and Bing Crosby. &nbsp;The great Don Ameche served as the master of ceremonies. &nbsp;I think it is totally great to hear any early performance by Guitar great Les Paul and his Trio! &nbsp;Bing Crosby also went off the Christmas script and sang "Don't Fence Me In." &nbsp;The routine between Bob Hope and Bing Crosby was fantastic as well.
 
The shows have great Christmas music, and some pretty funny comedy bits. &nbsp;I particularly enjoy the long skit between singer Ginny Simms, Jack Benny and Eddie Anderson about how they were rehearsing for this song on the Elgin special. &nbsp;The performance also by guitar great Les Paul is fantastic. 
 
In the&nbsp;Variety&nbsp;Radio Reviews of the program (which appear in the December 27, 1944 issue - page 28): 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This third annual Elgin Watch Christmas Day star-studded show was a boff companion piece for the company-sponsored Thanksgiving&nbsp;program-and that's another way of saying that you'll probably have to wait a long time (until, perhaps, Elgin shoots the works on&nbsp;another ultra-package) to match the 120 minutes of entertainment that went out over the CBS network from 4 to 6 p.m. &nbsp;And like the&nbsp;Thanksgiving show, this one not only went into the homes of the nation's&nbsp;Yuletide&nbsp;celebrants, but circuited the global warfronts. &nbsp;&nbsp;</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Here was a Xmas package that&nbsp;couldn't&nbsp;but help momentarily gladden the hearts of those GIs&nbsp;holding down the battle line forts. &nbsp;As such&nbsp;it will stand as a tribute to Bob Hope-Bing Crosby-Jack Benny &amp; Co. (and with due&nbsp;acknowledgement&nbsp;to the whole supporting cast); to the&nbsp;top scripting job sparked by Carroll Carroll and overall Tony Stanford production that combines a properly tempoed humor and hilarity&nbsp;with a complete awareness of the sensitivities involved in justifying a gay, laughing-at-home mood in contrast to the misery and&nbsp;tragedies&nbsp;that the boys overseas are encountering. &nbsp;It was to a large measure, that sensitively-wrought portion that helped make the&nbsp;show memorable, particularly in the treatment it was given by Don Ameche, who emceed the show (there ought to be a Society of the&nbsp;Promotion of Ameche as Permanent Emcee for Such&nbsp;Occasions), and in&nbsp;the Crosby windup spiel.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
&nbsp;The show was well paced and marked by a proper&nbsp;integration&nbsp;of drama, comedy, music (both in the&nbsp;hot and longhaired idiom), all with&nbsp;dignity and, for the most part, in good taste, but essentially it was a show build for laughs - laughs to hypo GI spirits and those at&nbsp;home with a stake in the war via concern for sons, fathers, brothers, sweethearts. &nbsp;It was comedy with a purpose, and in paying the&nbsp;freight, Elgin contributed its own generous portion of extending the season's greetings.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Not that the program was without its imperfections. &nbsp;In keeping with that overall good-will-toward-men theme, those Elgin pitches could&nbsp;have been soft-pedalled; similarly the multiplicity of plugs to fie in the products of the guestars were overworked. &nbsp;There was, too, a&nbsp;middle-portion boggin down in which Carmen Miranda, in particular, came off second best. &nbsp;</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
But add up that wham Crosby-Hope latter portion routine with its spontaneity and warm, infections quality; that Jack Benny-Rochester-Ginny Simms fiddle accomp comedy stretch; the latter's sock renditions of "Hallelujah" and "Wish You Were Waiting for Me"; add, too, the&nbsp;Burns &amp; Allen-Don Ameche laugh-packed skit, the Charioteers singing "Poor Little Jesus Boy," the Les Paul Trio doing "Danger - Men At&nbsp;Work," the hot routine of the Swing Wing (Mannie Klein) musical combo from the Santa Ana Army Air Base Band, the change in pace via&nbsp;Joseph Szigeti's flawless violinistics, and it's easy to understand why this Christmas package couldn't miss.</blockquote>

It's Christmas Eve and I have been mixing it up between new programs featured on this series and some of my all time favorites.&nbsp; I am going to mix it up in this very entry by going to one of my favorite series and a Christmas episode I had not featured before.&nbsp; And while you make think I am being stubborn with my choices here - it will all make sense in a bit.&nbsp; You might here this (and many others) on Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.</div>

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar&nbsp;started out in 1949 as a basic 30 minute detective series. &nbsp;Dick Powell did the audition show for Johnny Dollar, but he opted to do the great series Richard Diamond (with many scripts written by a young Blake Edwards). &nbsp;With Dick Powell turning down the role, CBS went with Charles Russell who played Dollar for the first year. &nbsp;Many people took the role, but most fans like the episodes voiced by&nbsp;<a href="http://cseeman.blogspot.com/2013/10/bob-bailey-appreciation-on-centennial.html">Bob Bailey</a>. &nbsp;He took over the role at a time when the format changed from a once weekly 30 minute episode to daily 15 minute series. &nbsp;Most were five day series and allowed the writers and producers to create more in-depth stories. &nbsp;After this experiment lasted around a year, they went back to the 30 minute format, still with Bob Bailey. &nbsp;He would star in the series until the moved the production to New York City in November 1960.
 
While&nbsp;Johnny Dollar&nbsp;is a basic detective program, the gimmick was that it revolved around his expense report. &nbsp;Johnny Dollar provided the exposition around the expenses incurred during the case. &nbsp;At first, I could not believe that they had a show featuring an insurance investigator with an expense report. &nbsp;But it quickly became one of my favorite series.

I have featured&nbsp;Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar a few times before during this series:</div>

<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://cseeman.blogspot.com/2014/12/25-days-of-old-time-radio-christmas-day_19.html">Day 19 -&nbsp;Johnny Dollar and the Nick Shurn Matter</a></li>
</ul>
On December 22, 1957, the episode featured on this series was the "Carmen Kringle Matter."&nbsp; Poor Johnny Dollar is resting on vacation when he gets a call from Pat McCracken...never a good sign.&nbsp; He was in Palm Springs and was fairly close to an easy job.&nbsp; An old miner wanted to change the beneficiary of his policy from his nephew to Carmen.&nbsp; Carmen was not a girlfriend, a wife or another significant other.&nbsp; It was a burro...a mule...a trusty companion.&nbsp; The town is on edge when the burro goes missing, especially so close to the holidays.&nbsp; The prospector is named Chris Kringle and he every year, he and his beloved Carmen would deliver gifts to all the miners in the town.&nbsp; But this year, that is all up in the air because Carmen is missing.&nbsp; So off he goes to the Mojave Desert and to see the agent who is trying to make the change in the policy to match the old man's wishes.
 
The recording is OK, but the story is fairly unique.&nbsp; The script was written by Robert Bainter - the pen name of Bob Bailey (the actor who played Johnny Dollar).&nbsp; I believe this is his only writing credit in his many years of radio from the 1940s to the early 1960s.&nbsp; Also included in this story is Howard McNear, Jean Tatum, Junius Matthews and was directed by Jack Johnstone. 
 
Its a fun way to spend Christmas eve.&nbsp; Best wishes for the holidays!

I heard part of one of these stories tomorrow and changed up the last few days of my Christmas series on Old Time Radio.&nbsp; So sorry baseball fans, you will have to wait to hear about your Texas Rangers later.&nbsp; As for now, lets get Ranger Jayce Pearson on the case.&nbsp; You might here this (and many others) on Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.

Tales of the Texas Rangers is a great crime series that ran on NBC from July 8, 1950 through September 14, 1952. &nbsp;While many might classify this as a western, it really is a straight up crime series. &nbsp;The show stars <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0566948/">Joel McCrea</a> as Texas Ranger Jayce Pearson. &nbsp;All of the cases were reenactments of real Texas Ranger cases. &nbsp;The series was directed by Stacy Keach, Sr. and is one of the best crime series on old time radio. &nbsp;It has the feel of the series <a href="https://archive.org/details/thisisyourfbi2">This is Your FBI</a>, the long running series that recreated true FBI cases. &nbsp;Maybe I will try to get their Christmas episodes on one of these links.
 
In these two episodes, Ranger Jayce Pearson solves the impossible with these two horrible Christmas time crimes. &nbsp;In Christmas Present (December 24, 1950), two very unlikely men rob a bank in the middle of the day, right before Christmas. &nbsp;Typically, Santas are not armed and do not try to rob a bank. &nbsp;Not only did these two Santas think they were getting away with a massive haul, an innocent man was jailed while the Rangers worked to solve the case. &nbsp;But some lucky breaks and a dab of paint helped Jayce Pearson solve the crime and set everything straight.

In Christmas Payoff (December 23, 1951), misguided revenge does in a respected town doctor on Christmas Day. &nbsp;Being a small town doctor means working when people are sick, be it on their birthday, the 4th of July or Christmas. &nbsp;When wrapping up a patient who needed the doctor's help on Christmas, a nurse notices a man stalking the Doctor's office. &nbsp;The stalking man had a bandaged hand that had a surprise for the doctor. &nbsp;Sadly, he would not see the 26th. &nbsp;Ranger Jayce Pearson is called in and starts working on the crime right on Christmas. &nbsp;He connects to dots and ends up with a tremendous Christmas Payoff.

You would have thought that a guy who writes about Old Time Radio and works at a university would have featured the program Halls of Ivy before.&nbsp; Well...you would have been wrong.&nbsp; I am not sure why it has never crossed my path, and today is not a perfect fit, but there is no time like the present to introduce you to Dr. Hall and his wife and life at this prestigious institution of higher education.&nbsp; You might here this (and many others) on Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.

From 1950 to 1952, Halls of Ivy&nbsp;was a radio comedy that ran on the NBC Radio Network and was the brainchild of Don Quinn, the writer and co-creator of the Fibber McGee &amp; Molly show.&nbsp; The program would have a life on television as well (as did many programs during this time).&nbsp; In both the radio and television versions, Ronald Colman (who was recently featured on Favorite Story adaptation of&nbsp;<a href="https://cseeman.blogspot.com/2018/12/25-more-days-of-old-time-radio_86.html">A Christmas Carol on Favorite Story</a>) and his real life wife Benita Hume started as Dr. Hall and Mrs. Hall.&nbsp; The program was sponsored by Schlitz Brewing (of Milwaukee) - a seemingly strange and/or appropriate sponsor for a program about higher education and college life.&nbsp; The Digitial Deli article listed this as the set of characters in the program:
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Ronald Colman as Dr. William Todhunter "Toddy" Hall, Ph.D., L.L.D., M.A., and President of Ivy College</li>
<li>Benita Hume [Colman] as Mrs. Victoria "Vickie" [Cromwell] Hall, former London Stage actress</li>
<li>Gloria Gordon as Penny, the Hall's first housekeeper and cook</li>
<li>Arthur Q. Bryan as Professor Joseph 'Joe' Warren</li>
<li>Alan Reed as Professor Heaslip of Ivy's English Department</li>
<li>Lee Patrick as Miss Goodsen, Dr. Hall's unbelievably efficient Personal Secretary</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
I will likely revisit this series as I start on my librarian series in January. 
 
On December 19, 1951, the episode was known as "The Snowman."&nbsp; There was a more identifiable Christmas episode in 1950, but it is not available (its about a kidnapping - so maybe that is just as well).&nbsp; We open with Ronald Coleman admiring the fruits of his all-nighter at his desk - Ivy's annual report.&nbsp; It is a masterpiece and what a year at Ivy College.&nbsp; The endowment is up.&nbsp; Enrollment is up.&nbsp; Everything is looking up!&nbsp; So when he was happy to be done with the report, he was surprised to see that the sun was up.&nbsp; Working in his office all night, Dr. Hall completely lost track of the time.&nbsp; And the weather.&nbsp; It had snowed overnight and the tradition on campus was that students would build snow men on the professor's lawns in a size proportional to their popularity.&nbsp; Much to his surprise and fear, he realized that there was no snowman on his lawn.&nbsp; None at all.&nbsp; There must be some mistake?&nbsp; Is his role as an administrator sapping his abilities as a teacher?&nbsp; Is he too connected to the administration of the school to be disconnected from their core mission?&nbsp; So much to talk about when he strolls down faculty row with his wife.
 
It is not exactly a Christmas episode - but why not.&nbsp; You get a new show and it is a nice one.&nbsp; I hope you get a large snowman on your front walk this winter.

Just a few days ago, I featured the Christmas Carol from Favorite Story that starred Ronald Colman in the main role of Ebeneezer Scrooge (<a href="https://cseeman.blogspot.com/2018/12/25-more-days-of-old-time-radio_86.html">A Christmas Carol with Ronald Colman on Favorite Story - 1949)</a>.&nbsp; So today, I thought I would return to this amazing story in a production staring one of the great actors of his day, Lionel Barrymore.&nbsp; You might here this on Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.

Long before the Hallmark Channel or the Hallmark Hall of Fame (a mainstay on TV since its early days), the Hallmark company hosted a radio series that showcased great stories, both fiction and nonfiction alike. &nbsp;The radio series was called the Hallmark Playhouse and it was hosted by author James Hilton, who is most famous for&nbsp;Lost Horizon and Goodbye, Mr. Chips.&nbsp; I previously featured the Hallmark Playhouse with their wonderful story of the song Silent Night (<a href="http://cseeman.blogspot.com/2014/12/25-days-of-old-time-radio-christmas-day_9.html">The Story of Silent Night (Hallmark Playhouse)</a>)&nbsp;In February 1953, Hallmark changed the name of their program.&nbsp; The show became the Hallmark Hall of Fame starting on February 8th, 1953.&nbsp; The host changed as well.&nbsp; Replacing James Hilton was one of the greatest voices on radio and one of the biggest names in entertainment, Lionel Barrymore.&nbsp; He would host the program every week through November 14th, 1954.&nbsp; That was the day he died.&nbsp; The broadcast for that date was called "Rebecca Lee Dorsey" and still has him as host because it was transcribed (or recorded in advance). The following week featured a tribute to Barrymore hosted by Edward Arnold.
 
On December 20th, 1953, the Hallmark Hall of Fame featured an all-star cast in their performance of "A Christmas Carol".&nbsp; According to the RadioGOLDINdex, it was the 19th performance of Barrymore as Scrooge on radio.&nbsp; He was joined by some of the great stars working at CBS at the time, including: Virginia Gregg, Anne Whitfield, Byron Kane, Lamont Johnson, Herb Butterfield, Parley Baer, Joseph Kearns, Ted de Corsia, Lawrence Dobkin, John Stevenson, Dick Beals, Stuffy Singer.&nbsp; The production was directed by William Froug and adapted by Leonard St. Clair.&nbsp; The would rebroadcast this performance on December 19th, 1954 to honor the career and work of this radio, stage, and movie legend.&nbsp; I hope you enjoy this classic performance of Lionel Barrymore as Ebeneezer Scrooge.

For today's episode, let's stay in the 40s and go to one of the best variety shows around.&nbsp; The Kraft Music Hall was an amazing variety program that featured great music.&nbsp; And when you think of great music from the Golden Age of Radio...you often think of Bing!&nbsp;If you have Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.

 Did you know that Planters Peanuts is part of the Kraft Heinz Company?&nbsp; 
Squirrels on a Snowy Winter's Day at the University of Michigan (February 4, 2015)</div>
 
The&nbsp;Kraft Music Hall&nbsp;made its debut on the NBC radio network in 1933 and would be a staple in their entertainment lineup for around 17 years. They used this variety show to sell all the Kraft Food products, especially their cheeses and Velveeta.&nbsp; From the Wikipedia article, there were very careful in this show to have the announcers make the commercials for the Kraft products, not the stars.&nbsp; This could be a distinct difference between Kraft Music Hall and others that used the stars to hawk the goods.&nbsp;&nbsp;
On December 21st, 1944, the Kraft Music Hall was hosted by Bing Crosby in a thirty minute long program for Christmas.&nbsp;&nbsp;The program opens with Bing Crosby singing just a line from this famous song Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day.&nbsp; He then sings his classic version of Adeste Fideles in Latin and English.&nbsp; We know this beautiful carol as "Come All Ye Faithful." This was the 9th consecutive year he opened the program with Adeste Fideles.&nbsp;&nbsp;Joining Bing on that holiday show were an wonderful cast of singers who shared Christmas and other timely songs.&nbsp; The music was from&nbsp;John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra, and featured songs from Eugenie Baird, The Chariotters and the Kraft Choral Club (from Chicago) under the direction of Charles Henderson.&nbsp; In addition to the Christmas songs, you also here the Chariotters sing a song called, "A Slip Of The Lip Can Sink A Ship."&nbsp; Seems appropriate for a country just learning about the Battle of Bulge in Europe.&nbsp; They closes the show with a beautiful version of Silent Night with Bing and the other singers on the show. He also shares his heartfelt thoughts of the sacrifices being made by American solders in the name of world peace.&nbsp; Enjoy!

I heard this one on the way in - so I have to change around my offerings for the next week.&nbsp; You'll be happy I did!&nbsp; One of my favorite historical series is Romance of the Ranchos. &nbsp;This series from the early 1940s showcases the history of the Ranchos and Mexican settlement in 18th and 19th Century California. &nbsp; This historical series featured&nbsp;<a href="http://cseeman.blogspot.com/2014/11/100th-birthday-celebration-for-frank.html">Frank Graham, who I wrote about on the 100th Anniversary of his birth in November 2014.</a>&nbsp;While this is a repeat for me, this is a great episode and one that you should definitely listen to. &nbsp;<a href="http://cseeman.blogspot.com/search/label/Old%20Time%20Radio%20Christmas">Here is a link to all the previous OTR Christmas entries</a>. &nbsp;If you have Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.

Romance of the Ranchos is an interesting radio series. &nbsp;Frank Graham had his great radio role on this show where he was the "Wandering Vaquero" on this historical series which came to the air thanks to the Title and Trust Insurance Company of Los Angeles. &nbsp;This historical series revealed how complicated it was to ensure that you held title to your land - which makes sense given the difficult tracking of land ownership in California. &nbsp;The Ranchos were lands given to settlers by Spain and then Mexico in California before the western settlement of the state. &nbsp;These Ranchos were tied with the growth of the missions as well. &nbsp;Given the great history of the Ranchos in Southern California, this radio series was a perfect way for the Title and Trust Insurance Company to share its stories. &nbsp;Each episode featured a historical depiction of a certain area in Southern California. &nbsp;When I travel in Southern California, I always make sure I have these on my phone or my &nbsp;MP3 player.
 
The episode that aired on Christmas Eve 1941 (only a few weeks after Pearl Harbor) showcased the early days of the Mission San Gabriel. &nbsp;I have enjoyed visiting these beautiful missions on my recent trips to California (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/cseeman/sets/72157637780385026/">see my pictures of the missions here</a>). &nbsp;I have not visited Mission San Gabriel, which sits in Los Angeles County in San Gabriel - but I hope to do so in the not to distant future. &nbsp;Sometime after the holidays, I hope to write up the missions on the radio, though I expect there will be one more for this Christmas season.
 
The story called Christmas at Mission San Gabriel starts with Saint Junipero Serra planing for the missions that would dot the California coast.&nbsp; (When I first shared this, he was still Father Serra - now he is a Saint)! The scene shifts to the building of the Mission San Gabriel and the Spanish settlements in that area. &nbsp;These episodes work within the framework of the cultural sensitivities that were in place at the time, so they freely refer to "White" and "Indian" populations in describing the tensions and clashes between the two. &nbsp;The last scene represents Christmas in the 1820s around the Mission and how these populations began to live together. &nbsp;The episode closes with a transcription (or recording) of the 24 members of the Title and Trust Insurance Company of Los Angeles Men's Chorus singing "Joy to the World." &nbsp;Here is the episode:

Not really anything to do with A Christmas Carol - but this is a CAROLina Wren on a feeder that I received for Christmas two years ago - hope that is close enough. 
 
 
<div style="text-align: left;">
So if you have been reading these posts, you know that I am a sucker for a good ol anthology series.&nbsp; That is a series that showcases a completely different story every episode.&nbsp; There are a good number of them over the years that have been on radio, and I heard one today thanks to Greg Bell that I have not showcased.&nbsp; So today, I thought I would fix that.&nbsp;If you have Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/" style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;;">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.
 
Favorite Story is radio anthology series that was transcribed and syndicated by the Ziv Company between 1946 and 1949.&nbsp; The show was recorded in Hollywood from the studios as KFI.&nbsp; According to the Wikipedia entry: " Each episode of Favorite Story featured an adaptation of a story selected by a celebrity — purportedly his or her favorite story. The celebrities came from various fields: actors, directors, bandleaders, and athletes, to name but a few. Because they did not appear on the air, the Ziv Company saved any salary that their appearances would have incurred. Compensation came in the form of promoting whatever book, film, or other work the guest had coming up."&nbsp; The show featured dramatic versions of many literary classics including Jane Eyre, Alice in Wonderland, Moby Dick, The Importance&nbsp;of Being Earnest, The Three Musketeers, among many others.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
The daily host for these episodes was the great actor Ronald Colman.&nbsp; He also starred in many of the programs as well.&nbsp; Other big names from the Golden Age of radio that appeared on this program include&nbsp;William Conrad, Hans Conried, Lurne Tuttle, Howard Duff, and many more. 
 
On Christmas Eve 1949, in what appears to be the last episode of this series that we still have, Ronald Colman assumed the double role of host and performer in a 30 minute version of Charles Dickens' immortal work, A Christmas Carol. This was shared not from the request of a single person, but a favorite story of "everyone of the English speaking world."&nbsp; Joining Ronald Colman in his role as Ebeneezer Scrooge are John Beal, Joseph Kearns, Arthur Q. Bryan, and Lurene Tuttle (among others).&nbsp; They put on a great show in this version of the classic Christmas story.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here are some other Christmas Carols I have featured on the blog:

Even though I have Richard Diamond on the last one, I think I will showcase those great&nbsp; adaptations before the end of the series.&nbsp;&nbsp;I hope you enjoy this wonderful production from Favorite Story - I will revisit this again.</div>

It's SANTA! (2017 Family Party) 
 
 
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is my second of two entries from Mutual's Family Theater&nbsp;that I showcased yesterday (<a href="https://cseeman.blogspot.com/2018/12/25-more-days-of-old-time-radio_17.html">Family Theater's Lullaby Of Christmas (1950)</a>) and last year (&nbsp;<a href="http://cseeman.blogspot.com/2017/12/another-25-days-of-old-time-radio_20.html">Other Wise Man on Mutual's Family Theater (1949)</a>).&nbsp; I was going to feature a different one - but lets go with a bit sappy in a Santa Suit.&nbsp; If you have Sirius/XM, you can listen to&nbsp;<a href="http://gregbellmedia.com/" style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;;">Greg Bell's Old time radio channel (#148)</a>. &nbsp;He does a great job of showcasing great holiday themed episodes, especially as we get close to Christmas.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The&nbsp;Mutual Family Theater&nbsp;is an anthology series that aired (as one might imagine) over the Mutual Network from 1947 through 1956.&nbsp; The program was the idea of Father Patrick Peyton, a Roman Catholic Priest, who wanted to provide wholesome stories that the entire family could enjoy.&nbsp; I came across an interesting scholarly article on the series&nbsp;(Phalen, Patricia F. "Profound sound: Family theater radio, 1947-1970."&nbsp;Journal of Radio Studies&nbsp;11, no. 1 (2004): 116-130) that talked about how Father Peyton gathered up the talent to make this program.&nbsp; He insisted that the stars donate their services to make the program, which kept costs down.&nbsp; As they would cite during the start of the production:
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
 
The purpose of this series is to remind ourselves that there is a kind and merciful God who is always ready to help us; that we should declare our faith in him; acknowledge our obligations to Him, to our neighbors, and ourselves; tell Him our need, and ask His aid, through prayer.... The scripts will deal 
with human problems in human terms. They will be simple, not ponderous; entertaining, not preachy; natural, not pretentious. (Family Theater Productions, 1947)</div>
 
<div style="text-align: left;">
On December 15, 1948, the Family Theater presented the story "Daddy For Christmas". In the late 1940s, there were many family with empty seats at the table after World War II.&nbsp; Thus was the world facing little Stevie and his family.&nbsp; When he drags his mother to visit a department store Santa, her life changes more than she could imagine.&nbsp; Stevie forgot to mention everything he wanted for Christmas, so they stepped back in.&nbsp; He wanted a scooter, pony, wagon and a bicycle with three wheels (but not a tricycle).&nbsp; He also wanted a daddy for Christmas. But that was the trickiest gift of all.&nbsp; Later than night, they were surprised when Santa showed up with a gift for Stevie.&nbsp; He could not find a chimney, so he came through the front door.&nbsp; Stevie got his three-wheeled bicycle.&nbsp; And in good time, he also got his other gift.&nbsp; But not without struggles.&nbsp; This heartwarming story stars Pat O'Brien, Bobby Driscoll, and Linda Johnson based on the Jack Lyman script.&nbsp; The music was composed by Max Terr, directed by David Young and Tony La Frano served as the announcer.&nbsp; The hostess for the broadcast was Shirley Temple.
