Many of Australia’s greatest radio serials were produced during the 1940s. Among those listed in this guide are the Sunday night one-hour plays - The Lux Radio Theatre and The Macquarie Radio Theatre (becoming the Caltex Theatre after 1947); the many Jack Davey Shows, and The Bob Dyer Show; the Colgate Palmolive variety extravaganzas, headed by Calling the Stars, The Youth Show and McCackie Mansion, which starred the outrageously funny Mo (Roy Rene). Fine drama programs produced in Sydney in the 1940s included The Library of the Air and Max Afford's serial Hagen's Circus. Among the comedy programs listed from this decade are the George Wallace Shows, and Mrs 'Obbs with its hilariously garbled language.

    THE MAOe gPARK 50 YEARS OF RADIO IN AUSTRALIA R.R.WALKER One of the amenities which our modern world takes so much for granted is radio. Yet it is a highly complex and sophisticatedbusi- ness which requires technical pro- ficiency,outstanding personalities and polished showmanship. Radio in Australia began fifty years ago with crystal sets and pri- vate licences. In a comparatively short time it has developed into a vast wave of sound which rolls in from widely separated cities and towns throughout the country. To celebrate radio's Golden Jubi- lee, R. R. Walker, who has had much to do with the world of radio, has set down here a full and col- ourful description of this popular medium. He recalls the challenges of War and television;the financial and production triumphs and failures; the characters - Jack Davey, Bob Dyer, Norman Banks - and count- less other guests, invited and un- invited, to Australian living rooms. More than a history, this book is alsoa personal record of times past and present - and a forecast of things to come. Jacket Design: 0. J.

  • Ephemera Collection Finding Aid
    EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID J.C. Williamson theatre programs Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT) Australian Collection Development James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J. C. Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s). J. C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century. J. C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s. This list includes pantomimes held in J. C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J. C. Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements. The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J. C. Williamson for their corporate archive. Content Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. Please note that the list also includes programs for some films, as well as programs for overseas productions of plays collected by J.

  • BTN: Episode 27 Transcript 19/09/17
    BTN: Episode 27 Transcript 19/09/17 Hi, I'm Amelia. Welcome to this week’s BTN! Coming up today: • We meet some kids from Florida whose home was in the path of Hurricane Irma. • Find out why school uniforms have been making the news. • And learn more about the famous Aussies on our new ten-dollar notes. First, let's have a look at some of the big stories that've been making headlines over the past week. This Week in News World leaders have criticised North Korea for firing a missile over Japan last week. It landed in the Pacific Ocean, around 2 thousand kays east of the island of Hokkaido. While no-one was hurt, many leaders said it was a dangerous and threatening thing to do. It came just a few days after the UN security council decided to bring in new sanctions against North Korea. Sanctions are trade restrictions and they were designed to pressure North Korea into stopping its nuclear weapons program. Now, leaders will meet to talk about what they're going to do next. The Cassini spacecraft has ended its epic mission to explore Saturn. These were the final pictures it took before plunging into the planet's atmosphere on Friday night. The Deep Space Communication Complex in Canberra picked up the last radio contact. COMMENTATOR: Hanging on, it's gone. ©ABC 2017 GLEN NAGLE, CSIRO: I think it was a bittersweet moment. It’s not like losing a family, friend or anything, it’s the end of the greatest TV show you’ve ever watched.
