More updates to the publication data added to William Woolfolk's
script-selling
records—the data in bold is what he didn't enter as he recorded the writing and payment months before the stories were published. (With iffy Internet access at the moment, I'm posting here
before I update the original posts themselves.)
The Tom Mix
wasn't "The Tale of the Lonesome Cowboy" in
TM
9, as I'd thought from the description—it's this one.
All the other stories were tracked down by darkmark, and most of them
in
the last couple of weeks. I'm still not sure how the "barker" I read in
Woolfolk's handwriting fits the Golden Arrow elephant story that I
haven't seen yet.
The storiues were published by Fawcett, Orbit, and Lev Gleason. This
page from "The Gang War Murders" shows Lev Gleason's Deep Dimension
3D substitute ("No glasses needed—Full four colors"), which
looks
not so much like the 3D movies of the time as the later Cinerascope or
Cinerama screen
seen from the perspective of lying on one's side across the
theatre seats.

Great to see these up!
ReplyDeleteWhen, btw, will you be updating the old records?
ReplyDeleteNot too much later, I hope. If I had unlimited Internet access at home they would have all been done. There were a couple of separate weeks where access to the library's Wi-Fi--and to all of Cape Cod--was shut down to bicyclists and pedestrians because the state can't plow the bridge sidewalk, so forbids its use until the heavier snowfalls melt.
ReplyDeletePrioritizing the time on that library access puts the updates behind my work freelance editing and my writing the new posts every week.
