RARA-AVIS: Your own Black Bird

William Denton (buff@vex.net)
Wed, 3 Dec 1997 23:31:13 -0500 (EST) I was looking through some of my old-time radio catalogues tonight,
and found a couple of interesting things.

First, Radio Spirits sells replicas of the Maltese Falcon. Looks like
the one in the movie, near as I can remember it, and it's a foot high
and weighs five and a half pounds. It sells for US $39.98. You can
call them at 1-800-723-4648 or write them at P.O. Box 2141, Schiller
Park, Illinois, 60176, USA. I have no connection to them at all, in
fact I haven't bought anything from them, but it seemed appropriate to
mention.

Also, their catalogue shows that the Lux Radio Theatre did a version
of _The Maltese Falcon_ on 8 February 1943, starring ... Edward
G. Robinson! Has anyone heard it?
