Series synopsis:
Hollywood Spotlight was a syndicated musical series consisting of 39 episodes, all of which were recorded in 1937 according to historical records. The series was produced by Bruce Eels and the Radio Transcription Company, or Transco. The first episodes were released to stations before the end of the year. Cliff Howell served as Master of Ceremonies for the series under the name “Tom Jeffrey.” Notably the program featured Phil Harris and his orchestra who had joined Jack Benny’s program just the year before. Other well-known performers who appeared on multiple episodes include Bob Burns, Don Wilson, and Larry Burke. The series should not be confused with a mid-1940s series of the same name.

There is an episode circulating on the internet called “Hollywood Spotlight 1935 Riddle Me This no opening”. It’s 13:50 long so, even without the opening, it’s almost complete. And, for sure, “Riddle Me This” by Phil Harris is announced as the first number. That doesn’t match any of these 35 and, if we believe Mr. Haendiges, it doesn’t match the four missing episodes. So what is this? It seems like a real episode but it doesn’t seem to fit. Anybody know?

Wish I could add anything to this. Our own Karl Schadow has done a bit of background research into this program; maybe he'll come across a clue in his work at some point. Ryan www.RyanEllett.com The Old Time Radio Researchers "Saving the Past for the Future"
