This is a snippet from Breaking Walls Episode 90: The Hollywood People Behind Radio's Baby Boomer Boom (1945 - 1954). In 1952, Jack Johnstone was directing the American Bakers-sponsored Hollywood Star Playhouse, an NBC anthology series running Sunday at 5PM. On April 13th, the show premiered a western starring Jimmy Stewart as Brit Ponsett. It was called, “The Six Shooter.” An audition record was recorded a little over a year later on July 15th, 1953 after Stewart finished production of a cowboy film, The Naked Spur. Next, he went to finish filming Thunder Bay, which wrapped production in late summer. The Six Shooter debuted on Sunday September 20th at 9:30PM Eastern time on all NBC stations.

Episode 7 aired November 1, 1953 on NBC Radio. Britt forces the sheriff to go after a robber, even though the wounded crook may be the sheriff's son. This script was used on three occasions. It was first used as a stand-alone episode of Hollywood Star Playhouse on April 13, 1952. Fan reaction was so great, the producers decided to try and turn The Six Shooter into a series. It was then used for the July 15, 1953 audition program, including a personal message from James Stewart trying to sell the show. Finally, it was used for the seventh episode of the series itself on November 1, 1953.

Best Old Time Radio Podcast with Bob Bro April 27, 2021 - OTR Dramas Hollywood Star Playhouse - "Calculated Risk" Crime paid -- and paid well for Bart Willard. He was no ordinary crook. He was a virtuoso. He planned to make a heist worth $1,000,000 on his wedding day. No plan was left to chance. As Bart works out all the details of how he plans to rob the Hypernion Payroll Service, we are along for the ride: Set off the alarm, intercept the alarm repairmen, change appearance, make the heist. But even with the best of plans the most brilliant criminal minds still must appreciate that they are taking a calculated risk.

James Stewart starred as Britt Ponset, a drifting cowboy in the final years of the wild west. Episodes ranged from straight western drama to whimsical comedy. A trademark of the show was Stewart's use of whispered narration during tense scenes that created a heightened sense of drama and relief when the situation was resolved. Some of the more prominent actors to perform on the program included Parley Baer, Virginia Gregg, Harry Bartell, Howard McNear, Jeanette Nolan, Dan O'Herlihy, Alan Reed, Marvin Miller and William Conrad (often credited as "Julius Krelboyne" because he was also the star of CBS' Gunsmoke at the time). Some did multiple episodes playing different characters. Presented here is The Six Shooter as first heard on NBC radio drama program Hollywood Star Playhouse and later created into a series.

The Six Shooter, the only radio series staring James Stewart, aired on September 20, 1953. In this radio western, Jimmy played Britt Ponset, a man with a reputation for having a fast gun but is really very different from the hard, tough talking gun slinger type. Here the hero is a slow talking, thinking man who is ready with his gun, but first looks for options to violence. James Stewart played this character very well. Jimmy had appeared on many other radio shows including the Hollywood Star Playhouse where the character of Britt Ponset was introduced in an episode called "The Six Shooter". The same script was used for the audition of THE SIX SHOOTER series, again with Jimmy as Britt. The show aired between September 1953 and June 1954.

The Hollywood Star Playhouse , well written and performed, presented many original plays and popular Hollywood stars. Some of those who accepted roles in this great series included Jimmy Stewart, William Conrad, Deborah Kerr, Vincent Price, Harry Bartell and Betty Lou Gerson.  Highlights included an episode entitled The Six Shooter and which later became itâs own series staring James Stewart.  In 1952, Marilyn Monroe made her radio debut on The Hollywood Star Playhouse.
