our presenter for this week will be Rick Spurgeon. Here he is to tell you what he has in
store.
"Well, here goes my last kick at the COTRA cat for the summer...already. Of
course, we'll lead off with a Jory story from the mid-40s. He tackles the
lead role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. a radio version of the romantic-comedy
movie. When you listen to Jory's speeches, see if you can imagine Jimmy
Sterart doing this part. Then stay awake for the Midnight Cab offering of
Family Portrait for some startling revelations about Christa.
On Thursday, August 26, Radio out of the Past has a treat in store. We'll have not
only Doctor Watson, but also Harry Nile with us. That's two of the roles that can
be heard on Imagination Theater, by our guest. Larry Albert, actor and general manager
of Imagination Theatre, and I were friends long before I knew anything about old
time radio. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of radio, continues to perform on stage,
and is making his living as a radio actor. We will dip into all of those things,
and more. That's at 6:00 pm pacific or 9 pm eastern, on Radiooutofthepast.org
