Barry Gray was an American radio personality, often referred to as "the father of talk radio." His late-night New York City radio talk show was carried by WOR radio and then later by WMCA. Barry Gray returned to WMCA in 1950, and stayed there for 39 years, refining the talk show format still utilized today. During the 1960s, he was in the odd position of having an 11 p.m.-1 a.m. late night talk show on a station otherwise dominated by Top 40 music and the youth-targeted "Good Guys" disc jockey campaign. But for teenagers who kept their radios on into the night, Gray's show was a window into the high-brow New York culture of the 1940s and 1950s. Guests: Adam Clayton Powell, Hazel Scott.1950-06-25, WOR, min.

Also of note the following report only two hours prior to what is considered a most iconic baseball game highlight to occur in baseball history. David Anderson substituting for Merrill Mueller reports: "A different more pleasant kind of warfare opens in New York in just a few hours when the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants settle the National League Championship. The winner will meet the New York Yankees in the World Series opener, tomorrow. With so much at stake, both clubs will start their ace pitchers. Sal Maglie will be on the mound for the Giants and Don Newcombe will go for the Dodgers. Both of them have an enviable record in their inner-city rivalry. Maglie has beaten the Dodgers five out of six times this season, while Newcombe has beaten the Giants five out of seven. The weatherman promises fair, warm weather for the season clincher with temperatures in the low 80's. Once again NBC TV will carry the play-off game direct from New York. A disappointing 38,000 fans were on hand for the game yesterday but a sell-out crowd of 50,000 is expected today. Fans began lining up for tickets by midnight last night and by dawn some 100 ardent supporters were already on hand."

These broadcasts are rare and represent the largest known collection of TEX AND JINX extant broadcasts in the world. Broadcast on WRCA FM RADIO in New York City. The rare archived radio broadcast begins with Tex McCrary playing back an interview he did in the past with Elizabeth’s husband, Michael Wilding who describes his wife’s eyes as “violet eyes,” and, possessing a “double row of eyelashes.” Tex asks Elizabeth if Wilding indeed has ever told her that to which she states she feels her eyes are blue. Again, McCrary plays another segment of his interview of Michael Wilding for Elizabeth Taylor to listen. He states that his wife is pretty without make-up, but when she applies her own make up it takes over two and half hours to do so. Taylor responds that it is true and even longer when she does her hair, fingernails and toe nails. However, Michael takes only five minutes to shave! Back to the Michael Wilding / Tex McCrary interview. Wilding states that he never saw his wife Elizabeth in a movie before they became engaged. Then, he was taken by Taylor’s parents to Paramount Studios and saw “A Place in the Sun,” which he praises. However, after then seeing “National Velvet” where in real life Taylor was twelve years old, he became ashen as he left the theater and Elizabeth states that if he had seen the film first he may not have ever asked me to marry him (“cradle robbery”). Taylor similarly confirms that she had never seen a Michael Wilding movie prior to their engagement (1951). She confirms that Michael watched her two nights ago on television doing a southern accent appearing on What’s My Line? She demonstrates the accent for Tex. Elizabeth Taylor reminisces about attending, for six years, The Little Red School House on the MGM movie lot where all the contract children actors would attend from 9am to noon on days they were not filming and attending school three hours a day (private tutor) a day, between scenes when filming. Others to graduate from The Little Red School House were Mickey Rooney, Margaret O’Brien, Jane Powell, Butch Jenkins and Dean Stockwell.1955-05-16, NBC, 60 min.

Bill Kemp was an up and coming comic performer with a 1950s radio show heard on the ABC radio network. His daily radio show was expected to launch him into a television career, following a similar path to that of Merv Griffin. High powered guests such as Jonathan Winters, Ava Gardner, Will Jordan, and Robert Mitchum all made appearances on Kemp's show. Tragically, Kemp's television career never took off as he was plagued by a debilitating drinking problem. At times both Merv Griffin and Jim Backus, both of whom had radio shows on the ABC radio network at the time, would fill in for Kemp with "personal reasons" given for the absences. When the Bill Kemp radio show ended, he returned to his native Toronto, Canada home, his show business career ended. A sad ending to what could have been a very successful television career. On this two-minute segment, there is mention of WOR-TV's "Million Dollar Movie" and the television debut of the 1933 movie release, "King Kong." In a comedic moment, actress Fay Wray is heard screaming during the movie.

Jinx Falkenburg interviews director George Stevens who praises Elizabeth Taylor for her performance in "Giant." He states that after directing her in "A Place in the Sun," he knew that she had great talent and was destined to become a great motion picture actress. Jinx Falkenburg and Steven's lament the defeat of the Brooklyn Dodgers to the New York Yankees in the World Series. Mike Todd and Elizabeth Taylor arrive at the theater. Taylor praises George Stevens allowing for the actors to interpret their own characters as they thought best. She praises James Dean and states that if he had lived he would have become one of the finest actors of his time. Rock Hudson discusses working with James Dean on the movie "Giant" which is premiering tonight in New York City. He states that he only got to know Dean casually and that he was aloof. He and Dean only did two scenes together in the film. Hudson describes his early years in Hollywood and his mentor director Raoul Walsh who gave him his first part in a motion picture as an extra ("Fighting Squadron"). Mercedes McCambridge who will be nominated for the best-supporting actress in "Giant," also discusses working with James Dean, and his kindness to her. She probably knew Dean best of anyone. McCambridge sates that James Dean had a very strained and difficult relationship with director George Stevens. He debated the academy award director of many films on how he should perform, even though "Giant" was his third film. Mercedes relates her love of working in radio and her relationship with Orson Welles who introduced her to her husband to be.

TEX AND JINX Radio & Television BROADCAST HISTORY: April 22, 1946- February 27, 1959. WEAF (WNBC, WRCA), New York weekdays at 8:30 A.M. until 1954; at 1:00pm,1954-1955; then at 6:30 and 10:35pm until July 31, 1958, moving briefly to WOR, broadcasting at 2:15pm. In addition to the Kollmars (Dorothy Kilgallen and husband Richard Kollmar) and the Fitzgeralds (Pegeen and husband Ed Fitzgerald), another well-recognized New York couple, newlyweds Tex McCrary and Jinx Falkenburg, added their own bread-and-bacon banter to the local airwaves between 1946 and 1959. Their gabfest, initially Hi Jinx but later revised to Tex and Jinx, was beamed over WEAF which was subsequently re-lettered WNBC and later WRCA. In limited doses, the flagship outlet of the National Broadcasting Company transmitted Meet Tex and Jinx to the whole country during 1947 and 1948. Tex and Jinx devoted most of their airtime to lofty and noble concepts, visitors and sidebars. Tex and Jinx [on WEAF-WNBC-WRCA] were interviewing Bernard Baruch, Margaret Truman, or Ethel Waters…. McCrary built the show on the assumption that the early morning audience was not stupid, as programmers generally assumed; that people in general had fresher minds and were more open to serious topics at the beginning of the day.” Their joint radio venture began in April 1946 just 10 months following their nuptials (June 10, 1945). Launched as a breakfast feature, the series later shifted to afternoons and finally into the evening hours before departing the ether a dozen years afterward. They were branded by one journalist “Mr. Brains and Mrs. Beauty.” In early 1947 NBC put them on its television network as a portion of a Sunday evening quarter-hour dubbed Bristol-Myers Tele-Varieties. “The McCrarys were naturals for TV,” wrote a reviewer, “with their combination of friendly chatter, interviews, and features.” That summer the web awarded them an exclusive Sunday night half-hour format under the appellation At Home with Tex and Jinx. A decade later, in the 1957-58 season, the duo hosted a daytime NBC-TV showcase, The Tex and Jinx Show. When hepatitis sidetracked Falkenburg in 1958 from their broadcast commitments, McCrary carried on solo on their radio show for another couple of years. In the 1980s, however, the couple separated, remaining on genial terms. McCrary died in New York on July 29, 2003 and Falkenburg expired just 29 days later in the same city, on August 27, 2003. NOTE:: The scores of TEX AND JINK SHOWS archived by Archival Television Audio, Inc. were originally obtained as original 16" Electronic Discs from Barry Farber, producer of the show (1957-1959), in 1960 after he had begun his own career in front of the mike at WINS Radio. These discs were subsequently transferred to 1/4" reel to reel tape, and then disposed. These broadcasts are rare and represent the largest known collection of TEX AND JINX extant broadcasts in the world. Tex McCrary and his wife Jinx Falkenburg interview William O'Dwyer, former Mayor of New York City. O'Dwyer recalls the early days of the UN in New York City and some recollections of O'Dwyer's earlier life in New York.

NOTE: Jackie Robinson would later say that he didn't spurn the New York Giants, but had planned to retire because of declining health, and a desire to pursue business opportunities. Robinson retired with a career .311 batting average, 947 runs scored and 197 stolen bases, the most notable his steal of home in game one of the 1955 World Series.
