Norman Tokar as Henry Aldrich

I love the Aldrich Family.  Sometimes, I honestly forget how much I enjoy the show, because I often will listen to the series so quickly that I simply forget about it.

I like Ezra Stone as Henry the best but I also like Norman Tokar as well.

Here's a piece on him from 1943:

Abner lost his voice & Lum took over

(from May 22, 1943 Movie Radio Guide)

Red Skelton movie (1943) "I Dood It"

I have never seen this film but it was directed by Vincente Minnelli - that's a pretty good sign that this was at the vey least, a decent motion picture.

It was based off his radio roles, so you might try renting it sometime if you like this sort of thing.

Judy Canova and Dennis Day

Judy and Dennis did a movie together in 1943, called "Sleepy Lagoon."  Here are a couple of photos and an article about them:

An interview with William N. Robson (1976)

Nice (commercial-free) interview here with William N. Robson, the sensational radio producer and director who worked for years on the CBS network on such shows as Suspense and Escape (among many others.)  I think you will enjoy this interview, which was done in 1976.

Tommy Cook (Junior) talks a little Life of Riley (1972)

Tommy Cook, who played Junior (for most of the run) on the Life of Riley, spoke a little about the show in 1972 in an interview.  Unfortunately, there's not much in it...

Do you have problems viewing the articles I post at the OTRr Buffet?

I understand some people have trouble viewing some of the articles posted here.

There are a couple of solutions to this: 

#1, if you see a "click to enlarge" (or even if you don't see this) left click on your mouse over the article.

#2 If the article is still too small, go back to the original article and RIGHT click on your mouse and choose OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW.  This should give you the article and chance for you to enlarge it even more with another mouse click.

#3 If all else fails, you can right click on the original article and choose to download it to your own computer; then you can view the article at your lesiure and size you choose on your graphics program.
