Volume 2,Contains the Following Taped Interviews: John Wayne & Charo. The John Wayne Interview – The late movie star John Wayne is being honored at a luncheon following the world premiere showing of his last film, “The Shootist.” It’s one of the last interview sessions with the press that he granted prior to his death. Wayne, in a jovial, festive mood, talks about always wanting to be able to sing, regretting he never kept a scrapbook of his career, going to Cortez to marlin fish in the 1930’s (“We did everything but shoot photographs”), plans for writing a book, old fashioned stunt men and today’s fallguys, (“In the old days, they used to just fall on their head”), being known as a tough guy, the movie “Red River” (“I’m most proud of it”), “propping” for director John Ford and being killed in “The Shootist” (“Hell, I dunno, I think I’ve been killed in about eight or nine of those pictures”).

My special thanks to Elly,
for her continued support in
compiling these lists.

:thumbs_up: I don't know when or where but, I have listened to the Duke in the Lux Radio broadcast of: She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. I thought it was cool to listen to the Duke on a radio broadcast. As well, the radio story and imagining the movie at the same time was nice. I do not remember what DvD I heard this on but I do not recall it being released ona DvD of some Duke movie I already have? I do not have She Wore A Yellow Ribbon ; on DvD yet.

And speaking of Lux Radio broadcasts, I do have the one for Captain Horatio Hornblower RN-which of course is on the DvD release. There are others I have as well, but never thought to make a list of them. Maybe I should?

They still play the Lux Radio versions of Red River and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon on RadioClassics on satellite radio.

Thanks for the list Ethan

I have Stagecoach Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow ribbon but havent got round to getting any others.


Mike

Thanks for the list Keith, Are you going to "sticky" this?

Thanks Jim, Done!

hello Keith

The geordie pain here again (hey that rhymes, so am I a poet?)

Here is my list of JW radio spots I think since the reference book was published more have come to light. The ones in blue are those I do not have copies of (YET!)

Three Sheets To The Wind 63190. Three Sheets To The Wind. February 15, 1942. A radio preview of a picture that Tay Garnett hopes to make in the future. A wealthy sultan boards an ocean liner after a strange series of murders in London. John Wayne portrays a drunken American. A beautiful British spy has her eye on the Sultan. The first 15:16 of the program only. John Wayne, Ken Carpenter (announcer), Tay Garnett (host). 15:16. Audio condition: Excellent. Incomplete. Reference: Copyright 2007, J. David Goldin. [Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
Three Sheets To The Wind Broadcast: February 15 - July 5, 1942 on NBC. Cast: Helga Moray as Joan Lockwood of British Intelligence, John Wayne as Dan O'Brien, Sharon Douglas and Lee Bonnell in continuing supporting roles. Announcer: Ken Carpenter Creator-Director-Narrator: Tay Garnett ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). Movie director Tay Garnett got the idea for THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND in 1933, while in Greenland filming SOS ICEBERG. Garnett was known for his epics of the sea, and in 1935 his cruise on the yawl ATHENE deepened the idea and gave it color. By 1942, he had a film script of sorts (by screenwriter Ken Englund): this he sold to NBC on the premise that radio could preview the film (which was never actually shot). Garnett also directed John Wayne in the film Seven Sinners (1940) ([Only registered and activated users can see links]).
The story followed the luxury liner EMPRESS as it sailed from Southampton, England, on a 180-day journey, with Alexandria, Egypt, the first port of call. The scene was set two years back in time, the cruise beginning August 25, 1939, in the final days of peace. A listen to the only known scrap (half a show at this writing) reveals a plot dripping with melodrama, seven people having been strangled in London in the seven days that the EMPRESS has been in port. The murders seem linked to a sultan's black diamond, its secrets wrapped in mysticism.
Agent Joan Lockwood (played by Helga Moray, a British actress who was then Garnett's wife) is determined to crack the case. Also on the case is Dan O'Brien (John Wayne), an american posing as a drunk--thus the double edged title. John Wayne, who did little radio, was then just beginning his rise to fabulous screen success. But it can be safely said that playing a lush was not his forte. Reference for this is the book On The Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio By John Dunning (1998).

What Price Glory 1949 at Graumans chinese theatre then various west coast theatres from 21 February 1949 through at least 11 March 1949. When Ford was prepping the "What Price Glory" Fox remake, he staged the play at Grauman's Chinese as a one-night fund-raiser, hoping it would convince Tracy and Cagney to co-star. They were in the audience, watching an all-star cast perform, including stars in bit parts, e.g., Wayne with one line as a wounded soldier).

Thanks Ell, you did well!!
Poets alike!!

Your list looks great,
and it certainly supersedes the
one from the reference book

Cool, this is an interesting thread. So, did they actually go and perform the movies in the studio, or are you all talking about just putting the sound track of the movie on the radio? Sorry if this is a stupid question. :teeth_smile:

Mostly in the studios,
although Duke was always there,
some of the other roles, were played by different
actors!

That's neat - I didn't know that he did that. Learn something new everyday.

So, did they actually go and perform the movies in the studio, or are you all talking about just putting the sound track of the movie on the radio?
I have another question. How does the length of the radio show compare to the length of the movie? Is the dialogue exactly the same, or is it changed to accommodate the medium?

Chester :newyear:

Hi Jim,

Some are really short abridged versions,
with the story, in some cases,
told in a matter of minutes!!!

Does anyone know of websites that may have clickable links to listen to Dukes radio shows?

Chester :newyear:

Does anyone know of websites that may have clickable links to listen to Dukes radio shows?

Chester :newyear:

Hello Jim

I do not know of any sorry. However if there is a way we (this board) can do it without us getting into bother I would be willing to make what I have available.

That sounds very Kind Elli, thank you for the offer

Chester :newyear:

Hi

Talking about different actor on the radio versions in Red River Matthew Garth is played by Jeff Chandler. It must have been very early in his career because he seems to have been just a by line.

Regards

Arthur

I have another question. How does the length of the radio show compare to the length of the movie? Is the dialogue exactly the same, or is it changed to accommodate the medium?

Chester :newyear:

Hello Jim

Sorry I replied to your question after this and ignored this one!

Here are some notes re all of the radio shows I have on my list. Hope this helps and my offer to loan this material to the board is still good. I am sure all you good folks that administer this board can find a way.

Three Sheets To The Wind Broadcast: February 15 - July 5, 1942 on NBC. Cast: Helga Moray as Joan Lockwood of British Intelligence, John Wayne as Dan O'Brien, Sharon Douglas and Lee Bonnell in continuing supporting roles. Announcer: Ken Carpenter Creator-Director-Narrator: Tay Garnett ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). Movie director Tay Garnett got the idea for THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND in 1933, while in Greenland filming SOS ICEBERG. Garnett was known for his epics of the sea, and in 1935 his cruise on the yawl ATHENE deepened the idea and gave it color. By 1942, he had a film script of sorts (by screenwriter Ken Englund): this he sold to NBC on the premise that radio could preview the film (which was never actually shot). Garnett also directed John Wayne in the film Seven Sinners (1940) ([Only registered and activated users can see links]).
The story followed the luxury liner EMPRESS as it sailed from Southampton, England, on a 180-day journey, with Alexandria, Egypt, the first port of call. The scene was set two years back in time, the cruise beginning August 25, 1939, in the final days of peace. A listen to the only known scrap (half a show at this writing) reveals a plot dripping with melodrama, seven people having been strangled in London in the seven days that the EMPRESS has been in port. The murders seem linked to a sultan's black diamond, its secrets wrapped in mysticism.
Agent Joan Lockwood (played by Helga Moray, a British actress who was then Garnett's wife) is determined to crack the case. Also on the case is Dan O'Brien (John Wayne), an american posing as a drunk--thus the double edged title. John Wayne, who did little radio, was then just beginning his rise to fabulous screen success. But it can be safely said that playing a lush was not his forte. Reference for this is the book On The Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio By John Dunning (1998).

What Price Glory 1949 at Graumans chinese theatre then various west coast theatres from 21 February 1949 through at least 11 March 1949. When Ford was prepping the "What Price Glory" Fox remake, he staged the play at Grauman's Chinese as a one-night fund-raiser, hoping it would convince Tracy and Cagney to co-star. They were in the audience, watching an all-star cast perform, including stars in bit parts, e.g., Wayne with one line as a wounded soldier).

I'll go over it and tidy it up as soon as I can, but in the meantime
hope you find it interesting.

Always happy to share with other John Wayne fans.

did we ever manage to work out a way so that other members who do not have these could hear them? we could have a JWMB radio station:teeth_smile:

Then perhaps later a JWMB TV station:hyper:

I would be glad to make anything I have available for this.

Elly,
I did mention this to Kevin,
but we were concerned on copyright.
It's OK with our video clips,
as they are YouTube anyway.
I guess if we can find any radio spots,
on a similar host, the we can put them here.
