"How do
you do, ladies and gentlemen
of the motion picture audience? This is the National Broadcasting
Company, Graham McNamee speaking. You
have listened to the final chapter of the Phantom of Crestwood radio broadcast,
which ended with the mystery still unsolved. Who killed Jenny Wren? Who
killed Carter, her companion? You were invited
to submit your own original ending for the story, and one hundred
prizes, totalling $6,000 in cash, were offered for the best ending. The
National Broadcasting Company and RKO Radio Pictures have received
thousands of original endings for the story. Of course, as we told you
over the air, the winning ending need not necessarily be the same as
that used in the motion picture." |

1 August 1935 he opened the first British milk bar on London’s Fleet
Street. Called the Black and White Bar, it offered 50 different
non-alcoholic drinks: malted milks, yeast milks, fruit phosphates,
shakes, milk cocktails. The latter had dramatic names like Bandit’s
Prize and Blackstocking that belied their benignity – even if you dared
to add a dash of nutmeg. An Edinburgh reporter visited. He found it, to
his surprise, 'filled with men (yes, real he-men, not milksops or
women)’. Was McIntosh onto something? He dreamt big: there would be 500
bars, he said." |
