TAC, Jr. #41

March 12, 2000

The Adventures Continue and TAC web site is primarily a source of
information. However, readers often ask my help in locating an items related
to George Reeves (as in the case with Gary Grossman's book, Superman;
Serial to Cereal). Sometimes I learn of something I feel will be of interest
to you, I do my best to frind it and bring it to your attention. Sometimes I
benefit directly from the sale of an item, most often not.

1) CHANGE MADE TO "A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE REEVES" FROM MARAGON PRODUCTIONS
2) SUPERMAN: SERIAL TO CEREAL STILL AVAILABLE
3) SUPERMAN MUSIC ON CD FROM VARESE SARABANDE
4) WHAT'S IN A NAME?
5) I COULD HAVE SWORN THERE WAS ONLY ONE EYE
6) WHO COULD PLAY THE ROLE?

1) CHANGE MADE TO "A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE REEVES" FROM MARAGON PRODUCTIONS
Last month I posted an offer on my web site for an original fine art museum
quality reproduction of "A Tribute to George Reeves" from arist, Andrew
Aragon. I want to thank everyone who has already ordered and to inform you
of a change. This painting has been upgraded to canvas. This will increse
the cost, but not to anyone who has already ordered or to anyone who orders
before April 1. For complete details on the chages and how to order, go to
http://www.jimnolt.com/maragon1.htm. And then click on the link to "Read a
letter from artist, Andrew Aragaon"
(http://www.jimnolt.com/aragonletter.htm) to learn how this painting came to
be.

2) SUPERMAN: SERIAL TO CEREAL STILL AVAILABLE
A couple months ago several readers where they could find Gary Grossman's
book. I contacted Gary who told me he is offering some for sale. Copies are
still available. For details, go to Gary's website at
http://www.supermanbook.com/. If you order, please tell Gary that Jim sent
you.

3) SUPERMAN MUSIC ON CD FROM VARESE SARABANDE
According to several readers (Steve Orich,Richard Aramantrout, Tony Aranjo,
Richard Stammer, and Colin Duff) some of the music from the "Adventures of
Superman" is now available on CD from Varese Sarabande.

Steve Orich writes:
Here's the latest about the Varese CD's of Superman TV Music:
1 - Vol. 1 will be released 3/14
2 - At this point, it is undecided when or if the other 2 will be released.
If I hear any other information, I'll let you know.

Anyone who orders it is welcome to write a review for TAC, Jr. I'm sure
others would be interested in reading it. I tried to access the Varese
Sarabande website
(http://www.varesesarabande.com/details.asp?pid=302-066-093-2) this morning,
but their server was down. The CD can also be obtained from Amazon.com and
the CD Now website. By the way, if you order from Amazon.com, I'd appreciate
it if you'd enter their website through mine. (Unless, of course, you have
your own link to Amazon). This will bring a few pennies my way and help to
keep TAC and this web site here.

4) WHAT'S IN A NAME?
David Cassells recently shared this with me:

<<Just thought you would like to know, I named my daughter Kara! [That was
quite a few years ago.] It wasn't because I am obsessed by Supermania, but I
thought it was a great name. I wonder how many of your readers have Superman
related names. Hope things are well with you.>>

I'd like to know too. Have any of you used names from the Adventures of
Superman for your pets or children... or do you, yourself, have a name
related to the series (or know of someone who does)?

And thinking about names from Superman, I was reminded of a letter I
received years ago (and published in TAC #3) from Richard Hadley. If the
name "Hadley" doesn't ring a bell, watch "The Mind Machine." Richard wrote:
"I take a sort of personal interest in the television series because my
mother dated director Tommy Carr when she was a young woman working in
films, and she visited him years later in the 50s and watched one of the
early "Superman" episodes being filmed. That episode subsequently contained
a character named "Hadley," my mother's married name.

5) I COULD HAVE SWORN THERE WAS ONLY ONE EYE
In "The Lady In Black," the painting on the apartment wall of old Mrs.
Jones, a friend of Jimmy's mother, sometimes had one eye, sometimes two.
Jimmy's confusion was cleared up after Superman exposed Mr. & Mrs. Frank as
art thieves.

In the summer of 1994 Richard Hadley cleared up another painting mystery.
Richard explained that the paintings hanging on Clark Kent's office wall in
several 1957 episodes are two neatly framed Utrillos (Maurice Utrillo,
1883 - 1955).

Today, David Michaels questions yet another painting:
In Perry White's office there is a great painting hanging on the wall behind
and off to the left in most of his shots. I've never seen the
painting straight on, but I've managed to piece it together pretty well from
old eps I have on tape. Do you have any idea what the painting is called,
who the artist is and if there is a full shot of it available anywhere? If
not, is there anyone you've run across during the time you've run this site
that I might contact about this? I'd love to have a copy of it, even if
just a small one. Thanks for your time, I hope you can help.

6) WHO COULD PLAY THE ROLE?
Here's a good question from Dana Konikoff . . .

Thank you for printing my comments about the recent George Reeves
"Biography." As "Biography" reported and some of the other letters
repeated, there is talk of a new Hollywood movie about George. I say Bravo
to the idea. It's long overdue. One of the letters suggested that you
conduct a poll of who we think should star as George. One extreme look a
like who comes to my mind is Drew Carey. I mean when I see Drew with his
glasses on, I immediately think of George as Clark Kent. Has anybody ever
said the same thing about Drew Carey to you. What do you think? Please let
me know.

Well, there's Dana's question. What do you think, readers?
