In 1945, a little known radio show, SEEMS RADIO IS HERE TO STAY was heard over the CBS Network. This was on the 25th anniversary of the medium 77 years ago. The script (one of his earliest) is by the legendary writer Norman Corwin. You'll hear this show in its entirety on the upcoming RADIO VAULT SPECIAL EDITION.
We also continue our OUR MISS BROOKS comedy series which made its debut in 1948...Highly rated on both radio and television, Eve Arden (Eunice Quedens 1908-1990) won the role over Shirley Booth. Arden would own the role right through its transition to television which lasted until 1957.
OUR MISS BROOKS was a beloved English teacher at Madison High School. Mr. Conkin, the Principal (Gale Gordon -- best known for his character on the Lucy TV show) was her arch rival. Brooks also flirts with the science teacher, Mr. Boynton.
Richard Crenna plays Walter Denton, one her students.
