Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 18, 2016

The Shadow. Boston Blackie. Duffy’s Tavern. The Bowery Boys. The Little Rascals. Life With Luigi. The Great Gildersleeve. I know some of these made it to TV, but we didn’t have a TV and anyway, some of the magic went out of things when your imagination was taken away.In small towns in Texas, picture shows (movie theaters) stopped the movie when Fibber Magee and Molly came on the radio and played the show to the audience. That was the only way they could get people to come to the theater on Saturday night.
