    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    " If 1.2 million people were "excited" by WOTW, that amounts to less than one per cent of the total population -- and by no stretch of the imagination can that be considered a nationwide panic. Cantril's estimate includes everyone who "reacted" to the broadcast, whether they picked up the phone...

    How do you play "Ask Me Another"?

    Okay, I sent Janet a message to quit peeking at the answers, for the moment. And maybe toward the back, in the specialized topics quizzes, there would be one on Art History she'd prefer.

    The Captain's Ball. How Far Back Do These Things Go?

    By the way, Cornelia Otis Skinner did a solo comic sketch, as various characters on a ship which is about to dock in New York City. I have it on a Rudy Vallee radio show.

    How do you play "Ask Me Another"?

    I passed some of LizzieMaine's information on to Janet Klein, who set out to obtain one of the books. And she shared some of the story with a sold-out Steve Allen Theater Thursday night, as background before singing "Who-oo? You-oo, That's Who!" And by the way, it was in the famous "Why a...

    What are you listening to?

    Was that the same "Leon" as Bob Wills called out? About ten years ago I peeked into a vehicle storage lot in Rosamond, CA and saw a 40s-looking bus decorated for Ernest Tubb and his Texas Troubadours. I've always wondered if it was the real deal, or maybe a re-creation for a movie or TV show.

    The World According to Jack Webb

    Some of his witnesses supplied every unneeded detail first-- something like: "I was by the kitchen window-- because it's Monday, the soup, ya see?" "How's that, ma'am" "On Mondays, my brother Harvey works late at the plant, so with it being just me alone, I open a can of soup instead making a...

    crazydaisy, re your recent gallery: Some advice Janet Klein once received from her grandmother-- "If you're going to the movies, keep a hatpin in your purse... in case you run into a masher."

    Prohibition

    Joke from a 1930 radio program: "Why are the new long skirts a lot like Prohibition?" "I don't know." "They've both covered up a lot of old, familiar joints."

    The Artist

    Every time I've heard a TV or radio report about The Artist getting an award, or a nomination, they play "Sing Sing Sing" which isn't in the movie (fortunately) but is in the trailers... of course everybody who hasn't seen it, would "know it" by that music.

    Bow Ties

    Sometimes I get things for just a dollar, but I'm trying to do the math on your volume purchase. "How about 12 for $10... or 14 for $8.... heck, how about 16 for $6? Or just take all 17 for $4.95..."
