| Title | Scans of magazines with Quiet Please subject matter |
| Message Text | I was going thruogh the pages of http://www.americanradiohistory.com for Quiet Please content, and while most (if not all) of the material below is already documented here at quietplease.org, I thought it worth providing links to some scans of the actual magazine pages, ie: images of the actual sources in pdf form. Also note that some of these are weekly grid radio schedules for on given months and years.. I only link two weekly schedules from two magazines below, but the same magazines have more schedules (with Quiet Please listed) in their other issues as well, many of which are accessible at that site Anyway, here's a few direct links from magazine issues which I though cool.. Radio Mirror May 1948 - Page 97 Everything is done to make that Quiet, Please show as realistic as possible, including making the leading man a little sick in the interest of his art. Recently, Ernest Chappell was supposed to be talking with a "chaw" of tobacco in his jaw. Chappell held out against the tobacco, but he had to chew on something and the director picked chocolate as a substitute cheek filler. By the time the rehearsal and the show were finished Chappell had gone away and had to forego a steak dinner party to which the rest of the cast went. www.americanradiohistory.co...1948-May-OCR-Page-0105.pdf Here a poem about "Quiet Please" get's featured in the magazine:...

She looks beneath her bed before retiring, Draws all the shades and closes tight the house. Makes certain the shotgun is cocked for ' firing And sets a trap for some intruding mouse.

The promotion, to begin in January and run for at least eight months, is the result of a basic appeal made by both the "whodun-its" and the fiction magazines, according to the network. Radio programs involved will call attention to magazine features which tie in with the show, and the pulps will carry a "preferred listening box," listing the seven Mutual shows, time, and a brief description of each. Radio programs which will participate include Scarlet Queen, Quiet Please, Nick Carter, Zane Grey Show, High Adventure, Racket Smashers and Mysterious Traveler. www.americanradiohistory.co...12-15-BC-OCR-Page-0082.pdf Broadcasting Magazine also has numerous editions with weekly grid layout schedules in red white and black , which show Quiet Please.
