"Much Ado about Doolittle" was a family comedy starring none other than Hans Conreid as Col. Doolittle, as he calls himself. This episode is "Get a Job"--something Mr. Doolittle's wife would like him to do. But he's more than a little allergic to the idea. It's from March 23, 1950.

it is my great pleasure to present a classic which may seem weighty to some. If you are wondering "How can they do this in an hour?", when you arrive, I think your doubts will be pleasantly appeased by the end of the evening. Here some elaboration is required.

There is an ongoing debate as to whether science fiction is considered classic literature. Both stories are considered classroom reading but again we'll not see the books but the otr resemblance to the books.

In May of 1929, a book was published that to this date is considered by some, the
greatest war epic of our time. It was written while the author spent some time during
his many adventures abroad at a relative’s home in Arkansas. The book is written
in five books and tells the story of Frederick Henry and Catherine Barkley and it
takes place during World War I on the Italian front. If you haven't figured it out
the book is "A Farewell to Arms," and its author is Ernest Hemingway. When I first
looked at tackling this classic I had many questions to consider. Which old time

feet and singing along with my favorite cowboy Gene Autry. He will have a story for
you as well. The only date I can give you on this one is 1953 because it is an Arm
Forces Radio broadcast. So join me and sit back relax and listen, as we venture in

received that special guest Chuck McKibben's will be joining the virtual audience
Thursday, April 17 during the weekly gathering of old time radio enthusiasts.
Chuck McKibben's 45-year career in show business has always been centered around
voiceover work...the first nine years as a radio personality, and then, while still

most fabled voice artist of all, Mel ("Bugs Bunny") Blanc. Chuck will recount for

No Description

The presentation concerns a decade-by-decade look at how radio advertising changed
during radio's golden age. It will focus on how the sponsors got their products mentioned
over the airwaves when network radio began in 1926 and how the radio commercials
were presented during the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, and 1960.
In closing out the hour, there are also 3 4-minute commercials for New Evergreen
Spray (an insecticide) starring Chester the Cutworm and Millicent the Rose Beetle.

This time on Radio Out Of The Past we're going to salute the arrival of spring which
has finally reached most of the country. Two things that spring brings are color
and bugs. Accordingly, we will have two crime-fighting shows with the names of colors
and bugs in their titles. If you can't guess the first show you are definitely not
paying attention. But can you figure the second offering?

Sherlock Holmes has had many incarnations both on radio and in movies. As early as
the late 1890's Americans had an idea of how he looked and sounded as there was already
an early edition of "The Hound Of The Baskervilles," presented as an early Broadway
stage play. Here at "Cruising The Classics," we too haven't forgotten Sherlock Holmes
and this Thursday we shall present a full hour of Holmesean drama. If you're thinking
it's two Rathbone episodes we threw together no it's not. But what is it?

The program opens with radio advertising from the listeners' viewpoint. Find out
what the listeners liked and disliked about radio commercials during the golden age.
Rounding out the hour is an unusual non-broadcast. Hosted by Edward R. Murrow, he
tries to persuade the people of Standard Oil of New Jersey in sponsoring the New
York Philharmonic radio program. Was he successful? Come to the Commercial Corner
and find out.
