Nazi Eyes On Canada, part 2: Flame In The House (starring Orson Welles and House Jameson) is actually episode #3. They refer to having received mail for 2 weeks since the premiere. A log of the show is here http://www.otrsite.com/logs/logn1013.htm

You appear to be right, Nightkey. Sorry about that. When I put them up, I didn’t pay attention to such obvious clues as that, instead going by the reported “original” broadcast dates, which must have been mixed up.

Correction duly noted and accepted. However, as this has been up for a while and the stories in the episodes are not really sequential, I’m going to leave my mistake as is for the time being and hope that your comment explains the mix-up to other interested parties.

My labeling errors aside, I hope you enjoyed the series and the site (although the rest has less to do with OTR.)

I wonder why the original broadcast dates were out of order? Did they write the “second” one after the “third?” Or did they just happen to get the personnel together in such a way that they had to be released out of order…?

Either way, I enjoyed the series. It’s good to hear old time radio and storytelling. If you’re interested, #4 has had the most listens on TPR.

I’m guessing that when I got the files, the listed dates were incorrect. In other words, what I thought were the “original” dates were not, in fact, original.

I love the OTR as well. In fact, OTR is a big part of why, at least on my end, TPR is around today.

Now that I’ve had a little more time to look into it, I realize I looked Jerry Haendiges’s site when I was trying to figure out the actual order of the shows.

I now realize what you were actually pointing out, Nightkey - the missing show.

For other readers, there was apparently a show between the premier (with Helen Hayes) and “Flame In The House” (with House Jameson and Katharine Rhat.) As episode numbers were not attached to the original shows and I have been unable to find a download of the mysterious second episode, I labeled the episodes I had in order.

If anyone has, or knows where to get the missing second episode, please let me know, so I can complete the set.

BTW, if anyone is in contact with Mr. Haendiges, you might want to tell him to check his spelling.

Now I’m fascinated. While there appears to have been a gap, I can’t find that missing episode on line and most lists don’t even include it.

Most sites seem to think Colin Ross was an alias, although he was, in fact, a real person, actually named Colin Ross. Orson Welles’s “. . . who calls himself Colin Ross” is derisive, not hinting at an alias.

Colin Ross did, in fact, write the book mentioned, although a long time before the War, and fled, it seems to South America.

He had been a highly regarded travel writer before there was such a thing as a travel writer as we now think of them.

If there was a second week, there appears to no longer be an extant recording. The CD or cassette set of the series put out by the CBC only includes five episodes.
