DescriptionThis radio dramatization of the classic movie, featuring the original stars, aired on February 10, 1947. Screen Guild Players was the most glamorous charity program on the airwaves. The hundreds of thousands of dollars raised for the Motion Picture Relief Fund built and maintained the Motion Picture Country House, providing housing for former film stars who were suffering from health or financial problems. Eager to be seen contributing to the cause, Hollywood's best and brightest flocked to the program. At first, it was primarily a variety show, with its first broadcast featuring Jack Benny, Joan Crawford, and Judy Garland. Later, it became an anthology show extraordinaire.
DescriptionThis radio dramatization of the classic movie originally aired on February 24, 1941. The Lux Radio Theatre was one of radio's most popular series, attracting Hollywood's top stars and boasting a lavish budget. It began in 1934 by featuring dramas from Broadway, but there was not enough material to support the show. In an attempt to reverse the slipping ratings, the show was moved to Hollywood in 1936, where there was plenty of material and talent. In fact, filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille often served as the host.
DescriptionThis collection contains four Christmas radio classics from Fibber McGee and Molly: "Ringing in the Holidays" (December 23, 1941) "Early Christmas Shopping" (December 7, 1948) "Christmas Card from Liz" (December 21, 1948) "Best Christmas Decorations" (December 20, 1949) Fibber McGee and Molly is a prime example of classic radio from the medium's golden age. The series was wildly popular from its debut in 1935 until its finale in 1959, making it one of the longest-running radio comedies. Revolving around a blowhard husband's hare-brained schemes, balanced by the common sense of his ever-patient wife, the show featured several regular characters, catch-phrases ("T'ain't funny, McGee!"), and recurring gags.
