True, completeor almost complete runs existof some popular series and occasionally oldtranscriptions re-surface bringing the deadback to life. Unfortunately, many series languish in dusty obscurity with barely an audiblewhisper to remind us that they once gracedthe airwaves. The idea behind this columnhas always been to shine a bit of light on a fewof the more dimly remembered personalitiesand events from radio’s past.A short while ago an article appeared inRadiogram chronicling the formation anddissolution of the Progressive BroadcastingSystem. Supposedly not a single recordedexample of any PBS show survives. That isone of the definitions of frustration for anyfan of otr.In the current issue of this publication isan account of the exploits of Jack Ramshaw,the golden eagle—literally. Included in thatarticle is a passing reference to an appearanceby the celebrated bird on Hobby Lobby. HobbyLobby constitutes yet another definition offrustration for otr enthusiasts.Not only has Mr. Ramshaw’s appearanceon Hobby Lobby been lost but little survivesto remind us that for much of a 13-year periodthis weekly program even existed. Lost alsois the week that Eleanor Roosevelt took overhosting duties in the absence of the show’screator-host, Dave Elman. Aside from JohnDunning’s insightful 300-word account, acouple of episodes in common circulationand a few yellowed newspaper clippings, littleelse remains.Dave Elman, the guiding force behindHobby Lobby, represents just one of the manyoverlooked stories from otr’s past. Born inPark River, ND, on May 6, 1900, Elman hitthe vaudeville circuit while still in his teens.He tried his hand variously as a musician,comic and hypnotist. In the 1920s, Elmanmoved on to write songs with W.C. Handyin addition to playing jazz saxophone professionally.Radio appeared and offered one morevenue for Elman to test his talent and ideas.In the midst of the Depression, millions ofAmericans had turned to hobbies as a meansof taking their minds briefly off their worries.For instance, it was well known that PresidentRoosevelt was an avid stamp collector. Elmancame up with the idea of a weekly humaninterest program highlighting the multitude ofhobbies and hobbyists across the nation andthe result was Hobby Lobby, which went onthe air as a sustainer on May 18, 1937, carriedover WOR-Mutual. The new show quicklypicked up Hudson Automobiles as sponsorand moved to CBS where the new show beganto build an audience. The following year Elman and Hobby Lobby filled in as a summerreplacement for The Jack Benny Program andgenerated more success and attention.As such Elman was dubbed variously as“The Dean of American Hobbyists” and as“The Man of 100,000 Hobbies.” He wasreceiving 3000 letters a week from peoplerequesting to appear on Hobby Lobby.It is a little publicized story but apparentlyeven a few Nazis wanted to appear on HobbyLobby. According to an account recordedin later years by family friend Martin Segal,the FBI contacted Elman during the warwith a dire warning. Nazis were going to tryout for Hobby Lobby. The plan was for fifthcolumnists to appear as guests on the showand then bury coded messages in their interview comments. Elman and his family weresurreptitiously placed under FBI protectionafter a number of death threats were receivedagainst Dave and his family.Hobby Lobby left the airwaves for goodin the summer of 1950. By then Elman wasready to turn his career in an entirely newand unique direction. He had always beeninterested in hypnotism. As a small boy hehad watched as his father had been hypnotizedto relieve pain from the cancer that had overtaken the senior Elman. Though Dave hadonce used hypnotism as a vaudeville gimmick,he had continued to study and maintain anappreciation for the medical application ofhypnotism in pain relief. By the mid-1950sElman had gained a reputation as one of theleading hypnotherapists in the country, training medical personnel and publishing groundbreaking works on hypnotism in medicine.By the time of Elman’s death on December5, 1967, his radio efforts had been all buteclipsed by his work in hypnosis.[MARCH 2012 RADIOGRAM3

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOKby Bill RyanAnyone would agree that one of the finest actresses of radio’sgolden years was Lurene Tuttle. She was also one of the busiest,playing in movies and TV along with continuing radio roles likeEffie Perrine, secretary to detective Sam Spade.As a matter of fact, in the spring of 1949 Lurene was forcedto spend some time in the hospital. Her 19-year-old daughter, Barbara, tookover as Sam’s secretary, Buffy, and filled his office with the joy of youth.Barbara Ruick, born in 1930, was the daughter of Lurene and her husband, Melville Ruick. He was anactor and for some time was the announcer on Lux Radio Theatre.Lurene was cast in movies like Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House, Sweet Smell of Success, The Fortune Cookie, andPsycho. On TV, she acted on Pete and Gladys, Julia, I Love Lucy. The Beverly Hillbillies, Little House on the Prairie, and St.Elsewhere.House parties were a way of life in the Hollywood Hills with movie and TV people spending scads of money to impresseach other and work on big deals. The hosts always provided entertainment, often just a good pianist who could play anysong requested. One of these was a young jazz pianist named Johnny Williams. Born in Queens in 1932, he came from amusical family. His father was the drummer in many New York radio studio bands.Williams and Barbara Ruick were married whileBarbara, who was a real dish, was in the middle of herown showbiz career. She was in movies like Invitation,The Bandwagon, and The Affairs of Dobie Gillis. Shealso was a talented dancer. Barbara suffered a cerebralhemorrhage and died on March 3, 1974. Williams wasleft alone after 18 years of marriage to raise their threechildren. He re-married in 1980.In his career, John Williams, working mainly withproducer-director Steven Spielberg, has scored numerous films including the memorable themes from Jaws andStar Wars as well as Superman and E.T John Williamshas been nominated for 27 Academy Awards and haswon five, plus all the awards and honors a film composercan gather. His stint as conductor of the Boston Popsbrought more achievements. He seemed to be enjoyingthat gig when I saw him conduct a concert in SymphonyHall in Boston.Between her movie and TV assignments, LureneTuttle tutored young actors and sharpened their skills.Actress Helen Hunt won an Academy Award in 1997for her work in the movie As Good as it Gets. In her acceptance speech, she graciously credited Lurene Tuttlefor helping her become a better actress.Tuttle died in 1986 at the age of 79.[Above, Lurene Tuttle in a nasty snit during a CBS radio production with sound effects man applying the right effect, and, right,John Williams and Barbara Ruick in a happy moment.6RADIOGRAM MARCH 2012sperdvac

MR. JACK RAMSHAW—bon vivant, lecturer and world traveler—appeared as a guest on Fred Allen’s radio show on two separate occasions in the company of his friend and fellow lecturer, Captain Charles William Robert Knight. The two chums first met at the London Zooin the late 1920s where Mr. Ramshaw was residing as a guest of the management. Mr. Ramshaw was, in point of fact, literally a goldeneagle (Aquila chysaetos) and Captain Knight a renowned naturalist, photographer, lecturer and writer specializing in falconry. Knight’srank of Captain had been duly earned through service in the 1914-18 war in which he saw duty as a sniper. Knight had operated onfronts ranging from Ypres to Messines Ridge to the Somme, in the process collecting an impressive number of decorations and awards.Mr. Ramshaw’s notable career lay entirely before him at the time of their introduction.Knight managed Mr. Ramshaw’s releasefrom the London Zoo and the two began apartnership that would span almost 30 years.Soon after teaming up with Mr. Ramshaw,Knight began the slow and laborious procedure of teaching Mr. Ramshaw the ancient artof falconry. Only a small number of eagleshad ever been successfully trained in the artof falconry. Charles Knight was determinedthat Mr. Ramshaw would be counted amongthe few.Ramshaw received his name when Knight’sdaughter, Jean, offered her opinion that theeagle closely resembled a family acquaintance,Mrs. Ramshaw. The golden eagle thereafterbecame Mr. Jack Ramshaw. The partnershipbetween Knight and Ramshaw would stretchthrough the ensuing years to include lectures,books, films, radio appearances as well as aremarkable personal friendship.Fred Allen had read in the New Yorkermagazine that Captain Charles Knight andMr. Ramshaw were in New York for one oftheir frequent lecture tours. Allen arrangedto meet them at their hotel. The three entertainers seemed to hit it off well enough andthe Captain and Mr. Ramshaw were invitedto appear on Fred’s Sal Hepatica Revue onMarch 20, 1940. There was no reason to thinkthat the appearance would be anything but aroutine one. Just prior to appearing on Allen’s show, Captain Knight and Mr. Ramshawhad appeared on Hobby Lobby alongside hostDon Elman without incident.At rehearsal everything went smoothlysperdvacenough. Fred and the Captain engaged in alengthy bit of banter about eagles in generaland Mr. Ramshaw in particular. All the timeMr. Ramshaw would be perched politely onCaptain Knight’s wrist. As a finale to theirappearance, Fred thought it would be a finething for Mr. Ramshaw to take a short flightaround the studio, demonstrate his impressivewing-spread for the audience and then comein for a landing on top of the bandstand. Theytried it several times during rehearsal withoutany sign of a problem. During the actualbroadcast, however, matters did not fare sowell. When it came time for Mr. Ramshaw’sflight the eagle took wing on cue but once inthe air he became disoriented. Allen surmisedin Treadmill to Oblivion that the glare from theorchestra’s brass section confused the eagleand he couldn’t locate the bandstand. As aconsequence, Mr. Ramshaw began clawingwildly in the air. Part of the audience wasscreaming, part laughing and Captain Knightbegan running about the stage excitedly trying to coax Mr. Ramshaw back to earth. Mr.Ramshaw, in the meantime, had found itnecessary to relieve himself, nearly missingone of Fred’s other guests seated on the stage.Eventually, the frightened eagle found a spotto perch close to the ceiling and refused tocome down. Listeners were initially alertedto the unscripted behavior of Mr. Ramshawwhen Allen was heard to ask Captain Knighthow he planned to get the eagle down. TheCaptain could be heard off mike explainingthat he would try and entice Mr. Ramshawwith a nice juicy steak.Since the show must go on, it did—in chaotic fashion. With the audience focused onMARCH 2012 RADIOGRAM9
Fred Allen greets his guests Captain Charles William Robert Knight and Jack Ramshaw forthe second time. This time for Allen’s CBS program and this time Jack stayed perched onhis master’s sleeve much to the delight of the program’s sponsors.Mr. Ramshaw and Captain Knight’s futile efforts to entice him down from his perch, Fredand his cast valiantly tried to continue with theshow. But Mr. Ramshaw became the undisputed center of attention throughout most ofthe remaining program. Listeners began toget the drift of the on-stage confusion througha steady stream of ongoing ad-libs from Fredand the hysterical laughter erupting from thestudio audience as the show continued.L’affaire eagle, as Allen came to refer tothe episode, did allow Fred the opportunityto demonstrate his prowess with an ad-lib.The demonstration began immediately afterMr. Ramshaw strayed off course and continued for much of the remaining show withquipping intermittently with such onelinersas “Mr. Ramshaw is up there, but with hisback turned to the program I guess he’s seenall that interests him.” He continued with:This is apt to be a half hour program tonight;all we need now is Mr. Ramshaw to make hisown station break; while Captain Knight is going to borrow a cow to get Mr. Ramshaw down,Miss Wynn Murray will attempt to sing “WhenLove Beckons on 52nd Street;” we will get Mr.Ramshaw down. We just phoned to book asteeplejack for next week.Even Harry Von Zell got into the act during delivery of the Sal Hepatica commercial,claiming that the eagle had so upset him that10RADIOGRAM MARCH 2012he couldn’t remember the name of the product that he was supposed to promote.In the Question of the Week portion of theshow, three members of the audience wereroutinely picked each week to be interviewedby Allen. That week, one of Fred’s guests,Milton Evans, wasunexpectedly interrupted in the middleof an answer by frenzied laughter fromthe audience. Thatsegment of the showcame to an abruptend. It was once moreleft to Allen to explain things to listeners at home. The studio audience, privy towhat was happeningin the rafters, neededno explanation fromAllen but those listening in their livingrooms were entertained by Fred:The eagle has cometo life. Mr. Evans, Iwant to congratulate you. You are the firstone to get a rise out of the eagle since he gotup there. I think that as long as the eagle isa bird of prey that we had better discontinuethe question and start praying. Unfortunately,we didn’t have time to get to the questiontonight. We have a loose eagle in the studio.Mr. Rockefeller is hurriedly building a lot ofad-lib exits here. Captain Knight was backthere with a minute steak a little while ago butit was too well done and the eagle sent it back.Now he just arrived with the proper steak andI can assure you Captain Knight has the eagleor vise versa. Meanwhile, we have no questionon the show. We did have a question: werewe going to get out of here alive?Mr. Ramshaw did descend from the rafters before the end of the broadcast and wasrewarded with the promised steak. Surprisingly, under the circumstances and all the adlibbing, the program ended on time withoutbeing cut off abruptly as was sometimes thehabit with an Allen performance. The nexthurdle was the West Coast broadcast thatwas to follow in three hours time. It was agiven that Mr. Ramshaw would be groundedfor that show and events unfolded in a morepredictable and less tumultuous fashion thistime around. The West Coast audience hadreason to feel slighted.The end of the broadcast, however, was notthe end of the eagle affair. Allen had great funwith the incident, as did critics, commentatorsand the public at large. Other comediansnaturally had a field day with the event. Allen’s nemesis, JackBenny, couldn’t allowhis own Sunday program to cycle throughwithout a commenton Fred’s embarrassment. Said Mr. Benny: “I happened tohear Mr. Allen’s program last Wednesdayand I’d much ratherbe a straight man forOrson Welles than aperch for an eagle.”In fact, the onlyvoices showing signsof not taking the incident with good humor were network officials and advertisingexecutives who wereall busy taking umbrage at the out-of-control nature of Fred’sshow that particular night. Network officialsand advertising executives invariably toppedsperdvac
Allen’s list of least likedpersonages. Among thecomplainants was JohnF. Royal, a network functionary with the temerityto put his displeasurein the form of a memo,which he forwarded toAllen. Fred respondedwith a less than apologetic letter of his own,which he reprinted in itsentirety in Treadmill toOblivion. To quote fromAllen’s reply:“Toscannini, yourhouse man, has foistedsome movements on radio audiences in 8-H, the Bulova Companyhas praised its movement over your networkfacilities, but when Radio City is being torndown to make way for another parking lot,the one movement that will be recalled willbe the eagle’s movement on Wednesday last.”In conclusion, Allen threatened to signSabu and his elephant for an interview segment on an upcoming broadcast.Mr. Ramshaw seemed none the worsefor the experience. This was not the firsttime Ramshaw had taken an unauthorizedflight. During a previous stay in New York,Mr. Ramshaw somehow managed to slip hischains on the rooftop of the Gotham Hoteland took off for a sightseeing trip of his own.The Captain last spotted Ramshaw in thedistance circling over Radio City. Knightreported the disappearance to the police andan all-points-bulletin was issued for one JackRamshaw: eleven pounds, five-foot eleveninch wingspread. An alert policeman eventually spotted Mr. Ramshaw riding on top of ataxi headed up Madison Avenue.After the Fred Allen Show fiasco, Ramshaw and the Captain forged ahead withtheir lecture tour as if nothing untoward hadtaken place and eventually returned homeon schedule. As summer was about to turnto fall that same year, Knight and Ramshawwere preparing to return to the United Statesfor yet another lecture tour. The “TwilightWar,” as Churchill had described the openingdays of World War II, had now given way tothe all-out ferocity of the Battle of Britain.Undeterred by the danger of cruising the Atlantic in wartime, the twocompanions set out forLiverpool from whichpoint they would boarda Dutch liner, the Volendam, for the crossing toNew York. Three daysout to sea and suddenlythings went quite wrongfor the Captain, his eagleas well as the passengersand crew of the Volendam. A large explosionrocked the ship; eitherthe ship had struck amine or a torpedo hadfound its target; reports varied. The orderwas given to abandon ship. Captain Knightrefused to leave, thinking the ship wasn’t thatbadly hit and that he could save Mr. Ramshaw. Under protest, Knight was ordered offthe damaged ship by the Volendam’s captain.Knight departed in the last available lifeboatwithout Mr. Ramshaw. The survivors wererescued by a British destroyer two hours laterand ultimately set ashore in Scotland. Adejected Captain Knight returned home assuming that he would never see his old friendJack Ramshaw again.Soon after he reached home, however,Knight received notice that the Volendam had not sunk after all; the ship hadbeached at the entrance to a Scottish river.Knight wasted no time inhurrying to the damaged ship and to his surprise and joy discovered that Mr. Ramshaw,despite being rather wet and bedraggled in theleaking ship’s cargo hold, was alive and well.Undeterred by this minor setback, Knightand Ramshaw revised their plans and proceeded to again hit the lecture circuit inAmerica. They caught another Dutch vessel and arrived without incident this time, abit off schedule but determined. Here Mr.Ramshaw’s second guest appearance on TheFred Allen Show comes in. By the Fall of 1940,Allen was back on the air with a new Sponsor,Texaco gasoline and a new network, CBS.Once again Allen heard of Captain Knightand Mr. Ramshaw’s arrival in New York andonce again Allen thought it would be a finething to invite the pair to appear on the radio.Mr. Ramshaw’s harrowing experiences, coupled with all the attention garnered from hisfirst appearance eight months before, held theallure of a large audience and an equally largeHooper rating. This second appearance wasslated for Wednesday, November 20, 1940.In anticipation of Mr. Ramshaw’s imminentreturn to the microphone, Fred and Portlandwere busy making preemptive remarks warning the audience of the unspoken possibilities:Portland: Hello Mr. Allen and goodbye.Fred: Hey, now wait a minute. You’re notleaving already, Portland?Portland: Well, I’m frightened.Fred: Frightened? Why?Portland: There’s a big bird outside with aman under it.Fred: Well, that’s Mr. Ramshaw the eagle.Portland: That same bird who last year ?Fred: Yes, the eagle who’so u rMr. Ramshaw gets screen credit in the1955 British production Wee Geordie.sperdvacMARCH 2012 RADIOGRAM11
