    GUNSMOKE ! By GORDON BUDGE f you had lived in Dodge City in I the 1870’s, Matt Dillon-the fic- tional Marshal of CBS Radio and TV’s Gunsmoke-would have been just the sort of man you would like to have for a friend. The same holds for his sidekick, Chester, and his special pals, Kitty and Doc. They are down-to-earth, ‘good and honest people. That one word “honest” is, to a great extent, responsible for the success of Gunsmoke on both radio and TV. It best describes the sto- ries, characters and detailed his- torical background which go to make up the show. Norman Macdonnell and John Meston, Gunsmoke’s producer and writer, are the two men who created the format and guided the show to its success (the TV version has topped the Nielsen ratings since June, 1957)) and the show is a fair reflection of their own characters: Producer Macdonnell is a straight- forward, clear-thinking young man of forty-two, born in Pasadena and raised in the West, with a passion for pure-bred quarter horses. He joined the CBS Radio network as a page, rose to assistant producer in two years, ultimately commanded such network properties as Sus- pense, Escape, and Philip Marlowe. Writer John Meston’s checkered career began in Colorado some forty-three years ago and grass- hopped through Dartmouth (‘35) to the Left Bank in Paris, school- teaching in Cuba, range-riding in Colorado, and ultimately, the job as Network Editor for CBS Radio in Hollywood. It was here that Meston and Macdonnell met.

SERIES BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION: In the 1952 motion picture "The Story of Will Rogers," Will Rogers Jr. played his Father: American vaudevillian, humorist, syndicated columnist, social commentator, and motion picture actor Will Rogers. As a result of the popularity of the movie, CBS aired a 1953-54 radio series: Rogers of the Gazette. The series was a light drama focused on the daily activities of a fictional small town newspaper owner who published The Illyria Weekly Gazette. (Spelling of Illyria is taken from scripts for the series.) This series was an example of Art imitating Life. From 1935 to 1953 Will Rogers Jr., Bill as he preferred to be called, owned and operated a weekly newspaper and was the editor/publisher. The newspaper was not located in a small town in America's Heartland, but rather in Beverly Hills, CA: The Beverly Hills Citizen. Bill also worked as a foreign correspondent, covering the Spanish Civil War during 1936 and 1937. SPONSORSHIP: Rogers of the Gazette was aired on a sustaining basis by CBS.

    HDGambiaOFFLITH.qxd 8/7/08 11:32 AM Page 1 AFRICA HISTORY HISTORICAL DICTIONARIES OF AFRICA, NO. 109 HUGHES & FOURTH EDITION PERFECT The Gambia achieved independence from Great Britain on 18 February 1965. Despite its small size and population, it was able to establish itself as a func- tioning parliamentary democracy, a status it retained for nearly 30 years. The Gambia thus avoided the common fate of other African countries, which soon fell under authoritarian single-party rule or experienced military coups. In addi- tion, its enviable political stability, together with modest economic success, enabled it to avoid remaining under British domination or being absorbed by its larger French-speaking neighbor, Senegal. It was also able to defeat an attempted coup d’état in July 1981, but, ironically, when other African states were returning to democratic government, Gambian democracy finally suc- Historical Dictionary of Dictionary Historical cumbed to a military coup on 22 July 1994.

  • Gunsmoke”: “The Cabin” (December 27, 1952) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Charles Tranberg (Guest Post)*
    “Gunsmoke”: “The Cabin” (December 27, 1952) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Charles Tranberg (guest post)* The cast of radio’s “Gunsmoke” On April 26, 1952, over CBS Radio, the following introduction was made to a brand new western series: Around Dodge City and in the territory out West, there’s just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that’s with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of Gunsmoke... The transcribed story of the violence that moved West with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. It’s clear from that introduction that this will not be your ordinary radio western featuring the likes of Hopalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers or Gene Autry. Those shows, by and large, were marketed for and listened to by children. It is said that “Gunsmoke” was radio’s first successful adult western.
