I have come into the possession of some very odd open reels. I was going through them and a couple of titles stuck out in my mind as something I have never of. Show Titles: **Sgt. Blair Of The Mounties - I think it's Canadian, and produced after the war.It is a Police Drama, in 15 serial episodes.
**Peter Pine - I have no idea as of yet, I haven't gotten that far in listening. Any help you can provide would be deeply appreciated. Thanks Shawn |

Pine is a kids' syndicated show from Canada, probably the 40s, but I'm not positive. If you have 11 episodes, you've got 'em all.
Blair is a bit of a mystery and I've been working on this one a while. It could be American, Canadian or British in origin. It was produced between WW I and WW II, probably mid-30s. There are 28 episodes in circulation, most are complete stories in 15 minutes, but a few are two-parters. Jack French Editor: RADIO RECALL |

| Thanks Jack ! Yeah, I listened to Peter Pine and found it to be a kids show. And I am not for sure of the Blair but I do believe your correct with the timeframe. In one of the episodes they make reference to "The Great War" which would have to be WWI. I have the 11 Peter Pines episodes but I have just 15 Blairs , episodes 5-20. They are pretty good shows, atleast I like them. Another question, I just ran off 12 episodes of the Address Unknown shows. I have to airdates for those either. I think this reel came from McCoy but I am not for sure. Thanks Again Shawn |

| ADDRESS UNKOWN, I believe, is one of the South African shows that showed up many years ago. From what I have been told, George Jennings went over there with the idea of syndicating the shows over here. Nothing came of it, but he did bring about 19 reels of the shows back over here. Those are the ones that have been floating around for years. I have dates on some, but not all of them. The shows that I do have dated are from 1969. Hope this helps. Ted |

| Thanks Ted ! 19 reels! Wow, I am too ashamed to tell you how many shows that I have of that. Shawn |

| Well, more than that came out about 7 or 8 years ago. I probably have about 50 reels of the South African material. |
