. . . and did horror story readings on a midnight TV show in the early 
50s "Faces In The Window" on WMBQ Chicago which we had audio for about a 
dozen of them in the Northwestern Univ archive and I have on tape.  He 
also narrated the 12-inch version of Teddy Philips "Concert In The Sky" 
on Decca.  (One of the worst human beings that ever lived, Chicago DJ 
and ultra-right-wing loony Howard Miller, narrated the 10-inch 
version.)    (Miller is the dipso who brought back his idol, Father 
Coughlin, for a TV interview around 1970.)
