Thank you Barbara! I clicked on the link you posted and all four of the series are there under the individual title of each. As members who have used this site will know, if the library has a series you usually just need to type in a few letters such as, in this case, "Faces" or "Little" or "Author's" or "To Have" and then on the full title that comes up to access all the episodes. These are all ready to hear with just one click of the mouse on any title. Another great job by Paul Kornman.

Now any member who wants to write an article on these four programs from 1975 or even curate a collection of them will be able to listen to as many as he or she wishes to. I did notice that some of the episodes have 1976 dates, but that just makes it even better. Larry ----------------------------------------- From: "B. J.

Larry,
David Oxford posted a link to the series:
"I thought I’d point out that the Purchasing Group made 149
episodes available to the OTRR Library a year or so ago. When I
went to
http://otrrlibrary.org/r.html I couldn’t find the
series. When I went to
https://www.otrr.org/OTRRLibrary/otrrlibrary.html and
did a search for Radio Playhouse the 149 files showed up."
Each hour of Radio Playhouse has all four series.

lines and set all the label himself or herself. What got me
interested in this subject was a post yesterday from Walden Hughes
mentioning an OTR revival in 1975 that involved six-month runs of
Author's Studio, The Faces of Love, The Little Things in
Life and To Have N Hold. I think he said that Ted
Davenport has about 88 total episodes of these four series
combined, but he may not have digitized them yet. None of
them are on his website. The problem with writing an article
on them if I can't get them from Ted will be getting them from
somewhere else. He has not returned a message I sent him this
afternoon, and that is not a good sign.
Possibly another group member will have them in his or her
collection and can send them to me or any other member who would
like to write an article on them and to
include episodes of CBSRMT, Moon Over
Morocco or anything else that an editor might actually
publish. I would be inclined to limit it just to the four
series mentioned by Walden, but any writer would have the freedom
to choose that you mention.

1970's they'll have a real job on their hands. Besides those
shows already mentioned, there are all the shows written and
produced by ZBS. The Jack Flanders series, such as Moon Over
Morocco, The Third Tower of Inverness, were produced throughout the
70's and into the 80's. Plus radio shows like Chicken
Man. In the 80's ZBS produced the Ruby, the Galactic Gumshoe
shows. I"m pretty sure ZBS is still producing shows. I
don't think most here would lump them in with OTR, but they were
definitely influenced by OTR but modernized. They were/are
legitimate radio theater though, and I thought very well written
and produced. I always lumped them in with NTR myself.
The beauty of writing a "taxonomy" article about a
non-sciece subject is that the author gets to draw all the lines
and set all the labels himself or herself. That's
freedom!

Michael, if somebody writes an article on "The Silver Age of

to include. It will be a lot of fun, but quite a challenge.

I think the four programs that were part of the 1975 revival might be a good subject for an article entitled "The Silver Age of Radio." But the author would need to include CBS Radio Mystery Theater, and it would be a challenge to determine which of the 1400 or so episodes would be the most interesting to readers. In my opinion the best category of them is those that were based on a short story or a novel by a great writer like Henry James (there are several episodes based on his short stories).
