In connection with a book I am writing about the late great jazz pianist Art Tatum, I need a copy of or information about the 8/5/51 Quiz Kids radio program on which he appeared.
It would also be helpful to learn the names of the quiz kids who appeared on that date, and whatever information you might have that would help to track them down. Your assistance would be much appreciated and would be acknowledged in the book. Thank you. |

Approximately 65 episodes of that series have survived, but not the show aired on the date you mention.
Other than combing old newspapers and editions of RADIO GUIDE, determining which particular kids were on the show that day is going to be tough. Best compilation of that series was a book by a former Quiz Kid, Ruth Duskin Feldman, "Whatever Happened to the Quiz Kids" (Chicago Press 1982). In that book, she names every Quiz Kid interviwed several who were still alive in the early 80s. Jack French Editor: RADIO RECALL |

| I would like to know what was the format of the Quiz kids program. I remember my brother sent in a question for them to answer and as a result they sent him a beautiful dictionary. Did they do this because they couldn't answer the question or did they send a gift to anybody who's quest |
