Bob Bailey was “born in a theater trunk” in Toledo, Ohio, to traveling-performer parents. Bob first hit the stage at the age of six. He began performing on the radio in Chicago, which was a hub of network production during the prewar years. Bailey appeared in a number of anthology productions originating from WGN and WMAQ, and worked on several of Arch Oboler‘s productions.

Bailey reached the West Coast soon after the WWII broke out. There was a shortage of male-talent because of the War, and Bob landed a standard one year contract with Twentieth Century Fox. He would appear in seven films for Fox. Of medium height and rather skinny, as far as the movies were concerned, Bob Bailey had a face for radio.

Fortunately for his career, he also had a voice for radio. Hollywood was gaining prominence as the center of radio production.  Perhaps capitalizing on his Chicago connections, Bailey found occasional work on Oboler’s Everything For The Boys, Treasury Star Parade, Lux Radio Theater, and Arch Oboler’s Plays. In 1946, the door to stardom opened for Bailey with the Don Lee/Mutual network production of Let George Do It.

In Let George Do It, George Valentine was a departure from the typical hard-boiled detective of the time. A detailed and believable back story had been built up through the first season; Valentine had been a GI during the war. While he was overseas there was plenty of time to consider what he wanted to do (or more likely, what he DIDN’T want to do) when he got home. He took out a personal ad in the local paper:

Do You Have a Job That Needs Doing?

Let George Do It!

Danger is my stock in trade.

If the job is too tough for you to handle

You’ve got a job for me,

George Valentine

Write FULL details

Conceived as more of a professional problem solver than a detective, the program began as almost a situation comedy before it evolved into a not-quite-hard-boiled detective drama. Valentine always displayed a degree of GI ingenuity and out of the box thinking. Let George Do It had many of the trappings of the Detective genre. He always had an eye for a pretty girl; much to the consternation of his secretary and sometimes love interest Claire Brooks (Brooksie), played by Virginia Gregg. Brooksie’s kid brother was an occasional character; Sonny was none other than Eddie Firestone Jr., and often turned up just when Valentine needed a hand or an obscure piece of information.

As part of the Don Lee Network, Let George Do It was a popular program, but little known in the East for its first five seasons. By that time Bailey was ready to move on, and he found an opportunity in the reformulated version of CBS’s Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

Johnny Dollar had been a popular detective program for several years, with different actors in the lead role. Dollar was an insurance investigator with an “Action Packed Expense Account” beginning in 1949. His various cases took Johnny Dollar around the world in search of insurance fraud. By the end of the 1954 season, Johnny Dollar was little different from the rest of the detectives on the air. In order to breathe new life into the show, production was turned over to Jack Johnstone, who had previously produced Buck Rogers and The Adventures of Superman. One of Johnstone’s first moves was to change the format from a weekly half hour to a five days a week 15 minute show. The new format allowed for week-long story arcs and greater character and plot development.

This was a excellent fit for the thinking-man detective persona Bob Bailey developed on Let George Do It. Of all the actors to handle the Johnny Dollar role, Bailey is the fan favorite. Unfortunately, the daily format only lasted for thirteen months before returning to weekly episodes (Johnstone continued to contribute scripts). By this time, the writing was on the wall for Radio Drama. CBS moved production to New York as a cost cutting move in 1960, but Bailey chose to remain in Hollywood.

Bailey made a few television appearances, and began writing for TV (he wrote “The Carmen Kringle Matter” Christmas episode for Johnny Dollar’s 1957 season). He would battle with alcoholism for most of his remaining years. He began to make a recovery with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous when a massive heart attack left him partially paralyzed. He would spend most of the his remaining ten years in a convalescent home, renewing his relationships with friends and family.

Dashiell Hammett, the famous “Sam Spade” detective novelist created The Fat Man series for a listening audience. Brad Runyon, the title character solved murder mysteries that often baffled ordinary law enforcement. Runyon was a tough, street-smart seasoned detective, who worked with his secretary, Lila North.

After his initial creation and debut, the character was further defined by producer, E. J. “Mannie” Rosenburg. J. Scott Smart, who played the title role, was considered a “fat man” in real life, weighing around 270 pounds.

The series was first broadcast on January 21, 1946. The program aired on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) radio network. The Fat Man continued to be heard on radio until its last broadcast in January of 1951. The same year, a film adaptation was made and Smart starred alongside Rock Hudson, Jayne Meadows and Emmett Kelly.

Writer, Dashiell Hammett once confided that he had little to do with the series beyond the initial creation, other than to collect a check. He was not fond of radio and he preferred not to become involved in the series production. By 1966, a pilot of The Fat Man was made for television; however, the title character received a new name and a new background. Later detective series would have contain elements of the original Fat Man series, such as the popular Cannon television series.

Radio wasn’t always kind to Julius Marx.

Better known to the world as Groucho, Julius and his brothers were pushed into show business by their mother, Minnie Marx, who hoped her sons would find their fortune like their uncle Al Shean of Gallagher and Shean. The brothers began their vaudeville careers as a singing group, and were incredibly mediocre. During a particularly dispiriting performance in Nacodogches, TX, the boys began exchanging wise cracks on stage to entertain each other. Like many vaudeville comedians, they found the audiences had a great deal more appreciation for the jokes than the songs.

The Marx Brothers comedy team had great success in vaudeville and the movies. Julius, now much better known as Groucho, wanted to make a splash on radio as well, but never found the right vehicle. An early effort, Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel(1932) was scuttled by a poor time slot and the brother’s movie commitments. In the mid-40′s Groucho starred in the Pabst sponsored Blue Ribbon Town, but the show never really took off. The concept that would eventually become Life of Riley was initially developed with Groucho in mind, but the sponsor couldn’t accept the wise cracking Groucho as a family man, and the role was turned over to William Bendix.

Groucho was invited to guest on Bob Hope‘s radio show in March of 1947. Hope’s writers put together a nice interchange between Bob and Groucho, but didn’t realize that Groucho would be upset about being forced to wait forty minutes before going on the live program. Bob finally greeted him him with “Why it’s Groucho Marx, ladies and gentlemen. Groucho, what brings you out to the hot desert?” Bob Hope was one of radio’s great ad-lib artists, but Groucho completely took over the live broadcast, beginning with “Hot desert my foot! I’ve been standing in the cold dressing room for forty minutes!”

One of those who laughed the hardest was the show’s producer, show had a brainstorm of putting Groucho in the role of a game show host and turning him loose. Groucho took some convincing, noting that quiz shows were the refuge of washed-up actors. However he was also aware that with the state of his radio career, he had little to lose.

The program, You Bet Your Life, became a success by any measure. The show premiered on ABC in 1947, then moved to CBS for the 49-50 season, and finally landing on NBC radio in 1950 and lasting for the next ten years. NBC realized that the show was simple enough that it could easily be shown on both TV and radio, and the TV version ran until 1961. It later became the first TV game show to make money in syndication.

You Bet Your Life was supposedly a quiz show, but the real appeal was simply allowing Groucho to play Groucho. Although insults were a big part of his routine, Groucho was ultimately kind to his guests, often employing a “give away” question like “What color is the White House” for contestants who hadn’t won very much.

The show was prerecorded for two reasons. First of all, not every joke worked, so by prerecording the producers were able to select the best laughs. But most of all, Groucho was a well known loose cannon who could and would say almost anything on the air.

An urban legend has grown from this, known as the “Cigar Incident”. Groucho was interviewing and contestant who had 11 children. He asked why she chose to have such a large family and she replied “Well, I love my husband”. Groucho supposedly came back with “I love my cigar, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while!” Groucho denied ever saying it, and if it happened, there is not recording of it. However, according to the legend, whenever an NBC program needed explosive laughter on a laugh track, the Cigar Incident laughter was used.

The Hindenburg disaster signaled the end of the airship era. The radio broadcast by Herbert Morrison and the  accompanying newsreel footage paralyzed the nation, when it was broadcast the following day. Morrison’s account remains one of the most historical and sensational moments to be captured both on film and on audio.

In 1936, the German Zeppelin company built the luxury Hindenburg airship model LZ 129. With the financial backing of the Nazi regime, the company had already produced and flown other dirigibles with great success. The Graf Zeppelin had flown more than one million miles without incident. In fact, the Zeppelin company promoted their unblemished safety record in their advertisements.

Previous airship accidents went under reported and they were limited to manufacturers of British and U.S. dirigibles. The most disastrous airship accident involved the U.S. airship, USS Akron. On April 4, 1933, the airship crashed off the New Jersey coast killing 73 of the 76 crewmembers aboard. What made this different from the Hindenburg disaster was that this crash and others like it were not captured on film.

On May 6, 1937, the Hindenburg was scheduled to arrive at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey. Although there were some spectators, the majority of the crowd assembled on the ground was composed of journalists. The Hindenburg had already made history the previous year with its first transatlantic crossing. The landing at Lakehurst was the third of ten transatlantic flights scheduled for the year.

Unfortunately, the landing at Lakehurst was fraught with problems from the very beginning. Heavy headwinds had already delayed the Hindenburg’s arrival and the powerful thunderstorms in Lakehurst delayed landing even further. At 6: 22 p.m., Captain Max Pruss received the authorization to land. During the delay, he entertained the passengers with a trip over Manhattan. At 7:09 p.m., Pruss made a series of sharp turns, because the landing crew was not ready to moor the ship. Finally, at 7:21 the mooring lines were dropped from the dirigible to the ground crew.

Witnesses on the ground reported seeing what looked like gas plumes and a blue haze at around 7:25 p.m., shortly before the Hindenburg erupted in flames. Unfortunately, the moments leading up to the blaze was not captured on film. The newsreel had not been running at the time and by the time it was able to capture any footage, the Hindenburg was already ablaze. Luckily, the weather and size of the dirigible meant it could not be moored close to the observing public. If the mooring had not taken place in the field, there may have been more casualties on the ground.

In the end, one ground crew member lost his life and 13 passengers perished alongside 22 crewmembers aboard the airship. The ferocity of the blaze and its quick engulfment of the airship shocked those who witnessed the events on the ground. To those unfamiliar with radio and newsreel footage, the audio and film appear to have been recorded simultaneously; however, the radio broadcast was later dubbed into the newsreel footage. His commentary is also famous for its passionate and frantic account of the disaster. Part of the panicked nature of the broadcast was the result of recording speed. Although the commentary does not lose its passion or compassionate tone, the broadcast was not recorded at normal speed. Recorded at a slower speed, the commentary sounds more urgent when played back, if it is not corrected for normal speed and pitch. Nevertheless, it could be argued that Morrison’s impassioned broadcast was the first of its kind. Herbert Morrison, with his eyewitness account ushered in the era of media sensationalism.

Somewhere in the dewy mists of time one of caveman ancestors rose from around the communal fire and befriended one of the equine beasts with which he shared the prehistoric steppes. Much to the surprise of his mates, the caveman didn’t try to eat the beast; instead he crawled upon his back and rode him. Now the caveman’s personal speed and range was increased, which benefited his hunting prowess and made him more beneficial to his tribe. Soon another caveman discovered that he was able to ride upon a horse, and, given the competitive nature of man, it was inevitable that they would compete to see whose horse was the fastest.

Use of the domesticated horse spread throughout the ancient world, but nowhere with as much grace, speed, and ferocity as with the nomadic tribesmen of the Near East. When returning from their Crusades to the Holy Land, several knights brought with them examples of the splendid horses bred on the Arabian peninsula. These incredibly fast Arab studs were bred to hearty English mares. Their offerspring were a stock of thoroughly bred horses which balanced Arab speed with English endurance. The resulting breed, Thoroughbreds, is the basis of modern horse racing.

Long called the “Sport Of Kings,” thoroughbred racing may seem to require a royal budget to be directly involved. Enjoying and following the races is accessible to all. For the price of a two-dollar bet, anyone can become a participant in the race. Horse racing is one of the oldest and still most popular of spectator sports.

Entertaining and exciting as it is to be at the actua races, hearing the call on the radio is an exciting substitute. The Horse Racing Collection has a lot to offer long time racing fans and those just learning about the sport. The races themselves are always a fun listen. The particular rhythm and patter of the announcer brings us track side. We can cheer the outstanding performance of the horses and feel the thrill of a close finish. Many of the radio broadcasts of the Kentucky Derby races in the collection feature prerace commentary will help educate new fans, and delight long time followers of the race.

1938 Call:

After years of working with other popular bands, Glenn Miller decided to strike out on his own. He finally found the melodic rhythms he was looking for when he formed his own band in 1938. The sound quickly caught on and a new generation of Jazz began to sweep the country. Soon after, the band received requests to play in dance halls and on the radio.

In 1939, barely one year after its formation, Chesterfield Cigarettes sponsored the Glenn Miller Orchestra on radio. The 15-minute program aired three times a week on the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) network. The show’s popularity soared, as well as the band’s many recordings. Some of the era’s hottest singers performed with the band, including Kay Starr, Marion Hutton, Ernie Caceres and others. Notable band members included Bobby Hacket, Billy May and Paul Tanner. Several band members went on to have successful careers in music or film.

In the early 1940’s, the orchestra was featured in two films distributed by Twentieth Century Fox. Glenn Miller and his band starred alongside Milton Berle in the 1941 comedy, “Sun Valley Serenade.” In 1942, they appeared with Jackie Gleason in the film, “Orchestra Wives.”

By 1942, the orchestra started to disband. Miller, who was already 38 years old, was a fierce patriot, who was convinced he could best serve his country in the military. After the U.S. Navy rejected him, Miller applied to the U.S. Army. With the help of Brigadier General Charles Young, Miller was inducted. He achieved the rank of Captain and was stationed at the Army Air Force Southeast Training Center in Alabama.

While stationed in Alabama, Miller played with the Rhythmaires, who provided entertainment for servicemen and women at the service clubs and on radio. Miller believed he could help transform and improve military music, bringing it out of the marching band dark ages into the new era of melodic, upbeat sound. Eventually, Miller was allowed to form a 50-piece band.

During 1944, the Army Air Force band traveled across the Atlantic to entertain troops in the U.K. Many of their performances were broadcast in the German language, in which Miller was fluent. It was hoped that the German language broadcasts would lure German civilians and military personnel to the Allied side.

Unfortunately, Glenn Miller never had the opportunity to further his career outside military service. On December 15, 1944, Miller and fellow band members boarded a plane bound for Paris. The single engine airplane left the Royal Air Force landing strip in Bedfordshire and headed out across the English Channel, where it mysteriously disappeared. The bodies of those on board were never recovered. Nor, was the wreckage from the plane. To this day, several theories circulate in an attempt to explain the disappearance, but there is no evidence. Only 49 years old, Captain Glenn Miller was officially declared missing in action by the U.S. Army.

After his death, Miller’s legacy continued in the form of bands eager to imitate his style. In 1946, Tex Beneke took up the mantel and went on the road with the officially sanctioned Tex Beneke and Glenn Miller Orchestra Band. The band continued to draw crowds until it disbanded in 1950. Thereafter, the Glenn Miller estate took control of the orchestra, where it continues to operate in the hands of family members, today.

Glenn Miller will forever be remembered for his controversial style of Jazz that was often criticized by the professional music community. Nevertheless, his popularity with the public proved he had something special and unique that appealed to the hip audiences of the day. Some of his most popular hits include Chattanooga Choo-Choo, String of Pearls, Sunrise Serenade, Tuxedo Junction and Moonlight Serenade. Most of the Chesterfield radio programs were recorded and many can be heard today.

Mike Wallace will be remembered chiefly for practically defining investigative journalism on CBS TV’s 60 Minutes. Like so many important figures from television’s Golden Era, Wallace got his start in broadcasting in old time radio.

Wallace was born to Russian Jewish immigrant parents in Brookline, Massachusetts, in 1918. He worked as a student reporter for the Michigan Daily while studying at the University of Michigan. In February, before graduating in 1939, Wallace made his first radio appearance (using his given name, Myron) on the popular radio quiz show Information Please. Wallace’s appearance as a “beardless youth” was intended to bring a youthful perspective to the panel.

Wallace went on to work as a newscaster and continuity writer for WOOD radio in Grand Rapids before moving on as an announcer for WXYZ in Detroit in 1940. While in Detroit Wallace is credited with announcing for Ned Jordan, Secret Agent and The Green Hornet. (There have been rumors the Wallace occasionally announced the WXYZ production of The Lone Ranger, but this never happened.) Before joining the Navy during WWII, Wallace also did some freelance announcing in Chicago radio, including work for Irma Phillips’ The Road of Life, and Vic and Sade.

Wallace joined the Navy in 1943. Although he never saw combat, he did serve as Communications Officer aboard the submarine tender USS Anthedon in the Pacific, sailing to Hawaii, Australia, and Subic Bay. After his discharge in 1946 Wallace returned to Chicago area radio, announcing for shows like Sky King and Curtain Time. He even had a stint announcing Chicago area Professional Wrestling in the early 1950s.

During the 50′s Wallace turned more and more to television, though his credibility as a journalist was slow in developing. Like many early newscaster, he also took on announcing duties and commercials as well as hosting a number of game shows (Wallace hosted the pilot of the long running To Tell The Truth). Between 1955 and 1958 he hosted a pair of late night interview programs, Night Beat and The Mike Wallace Interview.

The hard-biting style that would be a famous part of 60 Minutes was demonstrated in the 1959 documentary The Hate That Hate Produced, in which Wallace, along with African American reporter Louis Lomax brought the Nation of Islam and its leaders Elijah Muhammad, Malcom X, and Louis Farrakhan to the attention of American audiences. Wallace was one of the original 60 minutes correspondents, and stayed with the show for 37 years. Wallace took the heart the journalistic admonition to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable”. It became cliché that any corrupt official’s worst nightmare began with the words “Mike Wallace and a crew from 60 Minutes is here…”

The one interview that Mike Wallace claimed to have regretted never getting was with First Lady Pat Nixon. President Nixon was an admirer of Wallace’s. There was an incident where a group of reporters had the painfully shy Mrs. Nixon pinned against a fence, shouting questions at her. Wallace walked through the crowd, took her by the arm, and guided her away. Before starting on 60 Minutes Wallace had been offered the job as Nixon’s press secretary.

Mike Wallace is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6263 Hollywood Blvd. He passed away surrounded by family in New Canaan, Connecticut, on Apr 7, 2012.

Goodnight, Mike Wallace.

The Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney Show is a treat for audiences, but was also a good deal of fun for its stars. In 1960 radio made a bid to attract some daytime listeners, and proposed the project to Bing. Rosemary Clooney had found success in the high-pressure world of the early 1950s recording industry, and became a household name with the 1954 release of White Christmas in which she starred with Crosby. By this time Bing was successful enough that he didn’t need the work, and would only do the show if it could be prerecorded on magnetic tape (Crosby was an investor in Ampex, the first successful American tape recorder.)

The shows were rather simple; they featured music, was usually from earlier recordings that Clooney and Crosby had made, although they did record some duets for the show. Because the recording equipment was somewhat portable, the spoken parts of the show could be recorded whenever and where ever is was convenient for the stars to get together. Often this would be at Clooney’s home, the Hollywood mansion that had formerly belonged to composer George Gershwin. This would have been very convenient for Clooney, mother of seven whose marriage to Jose Ferrer was on the rocks (they would divorce in 1961, reconcile in 1964, and divorce again in 1967.) It also allowed Bing plenty of time for the golf course.

Things didn’t remain fine for Rosemary. She had long suffered from bipolar disorder, and fought depression for many years. Soon after her second divorce from Ferrer, she found solace by campaigning for her friend Bobby Kennedy’s bid for the Presidency. She was with him when he was assassinated in 1968. This led to a nervous breakdown on stage a month later. She would recover from the breakdown, but her career was in a shambles. She was reduced to singing in Holiday Inn lounges to make ends meet, all the while fighting her addiction prescription medications.

In 1976 Bing was planning a tour to celebrate his 50^th year in Show Business. This would be his last tour, and he asked his good friend Rosemary Clooney to join him. It would be the beginning of Clooney’s comeback.

After their tour of England, Bing flew to Spain to go hunting and play golf. After 18 holes near Madrid on Oct 14, 1977, Bing collapsed and died of a massive heart attack.

Rosemary always felt that her mission in life was to sing well. She told interviewers that she hoped that she would know when her talent began to fade, so she could leave the stage.

Rosemary’s last performance was singing “God Bless America” with the Honolulu Symphony Pops in late 2001. She died of lung cancer at her home in Beverly Hills on June 29, 2002.

The Breakfast Club initially aired as The Pepper Pot in the early 1930’s. The 8 a.m. National Broadcasting Company (NBC) Blue Network variety show did not have a sponsor and its ratings were less than desirable. By 1933, Don McNeill was asked to take over the floundering show. McNeill rearranged the programming, dividing it into four 15-minute segments, which he named the “four calls to breakfast.” Thus, The Breakfast Club premiered on its NBC network on June 23, 1933.

In addition to the comedy, talk and musical line-ups, the show became known for its moment of silent prayer instituted by McNeill. McNeill was a strong advocate of public prayer and his show often featured inspirational verse, in addition to the moment of prayer. Nevertheless, the fledgling show became a success and quickly picked up Swift and Company as a sponsor.

The Breakfast Club featured Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers, Annette King (future congresswoman Charlotte Thompson Reid), Fran Allison and Sam Cowling, who provided a fact or fiction segment based on his personal almanac. The program became famous for its “four calls to breakfast,” which included a march around the breakfast table every 15 minutes. A cavalcade of celebrities appeared on the show during its 35 plus years run on radio.

Airing from June 1933 to December 27, 1968, The Breakfast Club retains the record for the longest hosting emcee on radio or television. McNeill is also considered the pioneer of morning talk radio show, setting a standard for formats still used today in the talk radio industry.

During its long run, the show was broadcast from several locations. Initially, it was broadcast from the NBC Chicago studios in the Merchandise Mart; however, it also broadcast from the Morrison Hotel, Allerton Hotel and from various other locations in Chicago and around the U.S.

A televised version of the show aired briefly on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) television network during the 1951-52 season, but it could not compete against other shows in the prime-time slot. However, The Breakfast Club continued to enjoy an additional 16 years of success on radio.

According to legend, blessed St. Patrick was assailed by snakes while he was undergoing a forty day fast on the top of a mountain. Exasperated that the foul creatures would disturb his peaceful meditations, he promptly drove all the serpents in Ireland into the sea.

Further, the shamrock became sacred in Ireland because St.Patrick used the three leafed plant to illustrate the Christian Doctrine of the Holy Trinity, three divine persons in one God.

What’s more, every year on March 17 we eat mountains of corned beef and cabbage because it was such a favorite back on “the auld sod”, a hearty treat on many an Irish table.

In point of actual fact, cattle and beef were so expensive in Old Ireland that the common Irishman rarely got to taste it until he immigrated to New York and adopted corned beef from his Jewish immigrant neighbors

What does any of this have to do with coloring perfectly good beer green every spring? We’re not really sure, but we do know that the folks at Old Time Radio don’t need to answer legends to bring you some great free St Patricks Day Old Time Radio shows!

Please feel free to check out all of our terrific Old Time Radio treasures, especially our St. Patrick’s Day Collection.
