"Bill Elliott did have his own radio show in the late Forties. It was a fifteen minute serial concerning a vanishing stagecoach. I believe that it was originally sponsored by Quaker Puffed Wheat and the network could have been Mutual. At this time,…"

Mike Newton commented on Fivecard's blog post No Title"This audio clip is from a selection of Lights Out episodes that were recorded on an LP back in the Sixties, called "Drop Dead." Arch Obler narrated it, showing the different types of horror or what we are afraid of. This particular story…"
Mike Newton replied to Robert's discussion Yancy Derringer s01e05 A Bullet For Bridget in the group WESTERNS"I have had the pleasure of meeting Jocko Mahoney (His formal name is Jacques, but friends call him Jocko) years ago at a Western film convention. I remember him best from the Range Rider, but used to watch Yancey Derringer on Sunday nights. When he…"

Mike Newton replied to Dave Miller's discussion The Six Shooter with Jimmy Stewart in the group WESTERNS"The Six Shooter ran on radio from Sept 20, 1953 to June 24, 1954. Originally on Sundays at 8 pm on NBC, it switched to Thursdays at 8 p.m. in April, 1954. Although it was an adult western like Gunsmoke, it did not present an authentic picture of…"
Mike Newton replied to Robert's discussion Boris Karloff in the group OLD TIME RADIO LEGENDS"You forgot to list "Cat Wife" which Boris Karloff did for Lights Out about 1938. He plays a guy who's married to a woman who likes to party. He's more conservative. When they argue, she slowly but surely turns into a cat. As you…"

Mike Newton commented on Robert's blog post Western TV Reunion"I have the entire show of this on video tape. I believe it was shot around 1989. The old prospector - Gabby Hayes lookalike, kept asking where's Roy. Later on in the show, they had a special sequence showing Roy, Dale and the new Sons of the…"

Roy and Dale
"Great shot of Roy and Dale. This is from "Bells of St. Angelo" (Republic, 1947). Roy has a couple of rough fights in this one, one of which he loses. Dale plays a western story writer who has come out to the West to gather local color. Roy…"

"My guess is that radio is a Stromberg Carlson, vintage 1928-29. They were handsomely polished cabinets and while not expensive, were usually found in more affluent homes."

Mr District Attorney
"Based on the radio and early TV show, this Mr District Attorney comic book came out in the Fifties. It along with other crime buster comics often fell into the same category as horror comics as the type of thing your parents and teachers didn't…"

"Tales of the Texas Rangers was on radio, early Sunday evenings sponsored by Wheaties. Joel McCrea was Ranger Jase Pearson, a generic Ranger who worked on cases from different time lines. The TV show that everyone recalls on Saturday mornings starred…"
Mike Newton replied to Couch Potato's discussion The Caballero's Way by O. Henry in the group WESTERNS"O.Henry's version of the Cisco Kid never quite made it to the screen. The Kid sounds like a mature Billy the Kid who had no compunctions about shooting people. Movie historian Francis M.; Nevins has written a book on the films of the Cisco Kid…"

"This figure seems to be made of metal. It looks like an out of work father from the Thirties listening to FDR's Fireside Chats. My caption for this would be "The only thing we have to fear is.....""

Riklaa said… - I"m glad you like my picture collection. Take as many as you want and make them your own. They all came from the net, mostly usenet. I haven't posted too many lately, mainly because I can't remember which ones I posted and which ones I haven't. My memory isn't what it used to be. Thanks for the comments. I am learning from them.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rick

Robert said… - I noticed your comment on the quest book at COTR and you were interested in the name "Calfkiller".
I have been asked often about the name Calfkiller. I live in the Cumberland Mountains area of Tennessee near a stream called Calfkiller River. Calfkiller was the name of a Cherokee Indian Chief from this area of Tennessee.
Old time radio had always been an interest to me and often friends would ask me where to find the shows. The web page was originally started just for friends to view links to content when I ran across something of interest. The name Calfkiller was easy to remember for anyone from the area and was just used for simplicity and easy for my friends to remember. It was done as a hobby and will always be. One thing led to another and the visitors to the site grew. I never changed the name. So I guess old Chief Calfkiller's name lives on in reference to Old Time Radio.

Can you send me the link to the Fill-ins for Saturday Night Theatre. I accidentally deleted your post. Many Thanks! jimbBig time Boo-boo
I have messed around and deleted the ‘S’ folder from the library. I am in the process of restoring it but it will take several days. I’ll get Saturday Night Theatre up as soon as possible. jimbTo All Library Users
I have made a boo-boo somehow and accidentally moved all the ‘S’ Files to the bottom of the ‘R’ folder. Until I can figure out a way to fix this, this is where you can find them. Anyone with a solution, mail me off-list. Thanks jimbWould You Like Some More Saturday Night Theatres?
