I really enjoyed listening to your interview with Elliot Lewis. I listen to a lot of OTR shows and his name comes up as either the producer,director, or actor in a great many of them. He must have been a real powerhouse during the radio days. I am looking forward to listening to all the interviews you post on your website, I am signing up to get notified when you put a new interview up. Thanks for the Memories.

Thank You and otheres for the preservation and restoration of so many of the old radio shows. How can new writers be developed? That just seems to be a lost art. Have we lost our immagination? I grew up in the 40’s abd 50″s. So much of the art has been lost. Thanks for the memories.

One question I would have asked Elliot is :why,after several years of playing Frank Remley,did they change the character’s
Nane to Elliot?

Jim, I read somewhere that Frank Remley was offended at the crazy antics of Elliot Lewis, and that is why they changed the name to Mr. Lewis’ first name, Elliot.
