THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES from Mutual on Dec 28, 1947 #14 "New Year's Eve Off The Scilly Isles" for Clipper Craft Clothes. Holmes and Watson celebrate New Year's Eve aboard the ocean liner "Gigantic" in 1912. Disaster strikes at sea, in a story very similar to the "Titanic's" sinking. Holmes brags that he can prevent a threatened fire in half an hour...before midnight! Starring John Stanley as Sherlock Holmes, Alfred Shirley as Dr Watson, written by Edith Meiser, produced and directed by Basil Loughrane, SFX by Hal Reid, engineer Don Williamson, music by Albert Buhrman, announcers Cy Harrice & Michael Fitzmaurice (NY announcer), created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
SUSPENSE from CBS on Dec 28, 1958 #783 "The Thirty-Second Of December." A good story about a man who buys a watch with many dials, including one that travels through time. Starring Frank Lovejoy, Norman Alden, Joan Banks, Barney Phillips, Sam Pierce, written by Morris Lee Green & William Walker, produced and directed by William N. Robson, announcer George Walsh.
JEAN SHEPHERD from WOR-NY on Jan 01, 1975 “New Year's Resolutions” Thoughts about a new year. Shepherd's New Year's resolutions: to try to be like Victor Borge and Don Rickles, to erase his memory, pragmatism, sincerity while delivering commercials, to say good things about radio, to say nothing bad about cats, no more kazoo or Jew's harp solos (which leads to a performance of both to a recording of "The Bear Missed The Train"). "By 1990, we will be moving toward Medievalism."
