“MURDER WITH ‘MURIEL’ RICHARD ROGUE MYSTERY

“Murder with Muriel” gets Richard Rogue into plenty hot water when he becomes involved with a thing called Horse Larn in the recovery of 25,000 lovely places of moolah which were hidden by another gangster named Duke Dixon. This all causes murder, mayhem, and sudden death, as heard on the “Rogue’s Gallery” broadcast tonight from 8:30 to 9:00 p. m. over Mutual and WAYX, Rogue meets Muriel Scott, a girl with a past and gets the old double cross. He then encounters Shop Kline, a suave killer who also slips him the double X. Then to top things, off, he runs into Joe Black, a poetry writing detective who can get into more trouble than a bull in a china shop, with the result-that the adventure develops more angles than the Pentagon building in Washington before it comes to a successful conclusion.

"Was Jack Benny Gay?": The Amount of Weight In Jack Benny's Loafers

While doing research for an article I came across an unexpected search result: "Was Jack Benny Gay?" There was no more than the question as previously stated from the original poster, but the replies made for interesting reading, ranging from: Jack Benny Celebrating his 39th Birthday "Of course not, he was a well known skirt-chaser in his youth, and he was married to Mary Livingston for many years" "Sure he was, everyone in Hollywood with the possible exception of John Wayne was and is homosexual!" "Part of Benny's "schtick" was his limp-wristed hand-to-face gestures. He was not gay, but emphasized what his fans observed as "acting like a girl" for humor.

"... the idea behind his character was to have him a little on the ambiguous side. His charact...

Old Time Radio Shows "Transcribed" Explained

What does it mean on old time radio shows when you hear the show is "Transcribed"? During the Golden Age of Radio , "transcribed" programs were recorded and sent to stations or networks on a disc running at 16 rps. The discs are larger than 33 1/3s. "Transcribed" means it was recorded on a disc. "Recorded" was a term that was known, of course, but not used very much in Radio's Golden Age. During the era, it was also considered very important to distinguish which shows went out live and which were recorded (transcribed), so if a show was transcribed it was announced as such.
