Does anyone recall having heard a radio show (in our era, the golden age!) with a character named either "Jolly Jump-up" or "Johnny Jump-Up"?
Thanks in advance, Janet |

You may have better luck with this query by posting it on the "Kids Show" BBS at this site.
If memory serves, someone posted a similar question about a year ago on some OTR site. I believe that they said "Jump-Up" was an elf, and his companion was a little girl, maybe "Mary-Jane". Does that sound right? |

May issue 2000 of SPERDVAC's "Radiogram" has an article by Newcomb Weisenberger on this show, called "Jump Jump of Holiday House." It was a syndicated show, produced at KFI Los Angeles, CA but dates are not given. Main characters were Jump Jump the elf, Mary Holiday, and Sleepy Jim the Lion. Program was produced by Jack Hays. Jump Jump's voice was produced by speeding up the tape, just like Jon Arthur did to his voice to do "Sparky" in Big Jon & Sparky.

Can anyone out there provide me with information on a children's program, possibly sponsored by Horn and Hardardt, that aired in the New york area circa 1930?
A distant cousin of mine, a local child prodigy at the age of two, used to read nursery rhymes on the radio. Her name was Theresa McGinty and she was the daughter of Edward and Emma Pino McGinty of Brooklyn, NY. I have not been able to determine the actual name of the radio show on which Theresa read her nursery rhymes, but would dearly love to know more about her background. I did find a schedule list for May 26, 1935 for WEAF NYC, which contains a show described as "Nursery Rhymes." This was from the NY Times of that date. Perhaps this was the show in question, but I really don't know. Any help would be appreciated. Thank |
