Lux Radio Theatre - Single Episodes - Season 05

(5 stars; 2 reviews)

Lux Radio Theatre was indisputably the biggest, most important, and most expensive drama anthology program on radio. It ran from October 14, 1934, until June 7, 1955, and then continued on television as Lux Video Theatre until 1957. In all, some 926 episodes were broadcast, providing a record of the most important entertainment events in American theatre and, later, film.

The show featured adaptations of successful Broadway plays and was first broadcast on the NBC Blue Network on Sundays at 2:30 PM. It moved to CBS on July 29, 1935, where it would stay until June 29, 1954. Lux Radio Theatre was always broadcast live, with a studio audience and a full orchestra accompanying the performance.

Regular players for the series included Jim and Marian Jordan, known as Fibber McGee and Molly. Hosts included Cecil B. DeMille, William Keighley, and Irving Cummings. The plays were assembled and rehearsed for a week, in sharp contrast to many other shows, which required minimal time from actors.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
