Two Leonard Starr Originals, My Friend Irma, and More
Posted by maggie
This is so far one of the super-good Old Time Radio conventions! I've picked up two Leonard Starr strips: an ON STAGE with different styles for winter exteriors plus a lovely shot of Mary Perkins and an outstanding ANNIE.
Which is not what I came for. The re-creations are among what I DID come for, and they've been outstanding, with (for example) Jeff David playing the Orson Welles part in HARRY LYME at least as well as Welles. (I'm going to compare performances at some future date; David might be better. Truth.)
The MY FRIEND IRMA half-hour was fun for daughter Valerie and me, at any rate -- with Valerie having the massive part of Jane. As Mrs. O'Reilly, I struggled with an Irish accent, and no one threw anything.
People have been, as ever, delightful, and Valerie, my brother Paul, and I are responsible for at least two first-time attendees this year. More fun tomorrow.
