NBC University Theater || Main Street | Broadcast: July 30, 1948An intelligent, creative woman marries a boring physician in Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, and finds herself stifled by the small people around her. At the conclusion of the program, the announcer alludes to the fact that this might be a program outside the "regular" series, although the program sounds similar to others in the series. There had been newspaper listings indicating that the program would be replaced by a year-end news-in-review documentary. However, the program appears to have been broadcast as scheduled. Perhaps there was a time change or split network. : : : : :My other podcast channels include: MYSTERY x SUSPENSE -- SCI FI x HORROR -- COMEDY x FUNNY HA HA -- VARIETY X ARMED FORCES -- THE COMPLETE ORSON WELLESSubscribing is free and you'll receive new post notifications.

This Sunday, Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse" invites you to step back in time with the "NBC University Theater" radio show for an engaging adaptation of E.M. Forster's "Howard's End." Originally broadcast on March 26th, 1950, this episode stars Angela Lansbury in a compelling narrative that delves into the intertwining lives of three families in England's changing social landscape of the early 20th century. The story meticulously explores themes of class division, cultural clash, and the challenges of personal integrity. Angela Lansbury's portrayal is both nuanced and powerful, supported by John Carradine's authoritative voice and Vanessa Brown's lively and spirited character interpretation. This performance not only brings the complex characters and emotional depth of Forster's work to life but also underscores the timeless relevance of his themes. "Sunday Night Playhouse" continues to celebrate the golden age of radio by bringing such classic tales to new and returning audiences, bridging the past and present with thoughtful, high-quality productions. "Howard's End" exemplifies this mission, offering a rich auditory experience that echoes the concerns of its era while resonating with today's listeners. Join us on Vintage Classic Radio to relive this timeless story through the voices of a remarkable cast, ensuring an evening of entertainment that is as enriching as it is enjoyable.

This Sunday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse," we feature a captivating rebroadcast of the "NBC University Theater" radio show, also known as "University Theater of the Air." In the spotlight is the episode titled "All the King's Men," which originally aired on January 16, 1949. The episode is an adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, exploring the dramatic rise and fall of Willie Stark, a charismatic but morally ambiguous politician who resembles the real-life figure Huey P. Long of Louisiana. The narrative delves into themes of power, corruption, and betrayal as Stark's idealistic start spirals into a ruthless quest for influence. The production features Wayne Morris in the role of Willie Stark, with supporting performances by Betty Lou Gerson, Edwin Jerome, Dan O'Herlihy, and John McIntire. The show captures the tense and atmospheric essence of political maneuvering and personal dilemmas, making it a compelling listen for fans of classic literary adaptations.

Starring Lynn Bari (born Marjorie Schuyler Fisher, December 18, 1919 – November 20, 1989).

John Dehner was born John Forkum on November 23rd, 1915 in Staten Island, New York. His father Leroy was an artist. His career allowed John to attend school in Norway and France. John was also a gifted artist, and pianist. He studied at the Grand Central School of Art in New York, while simultaneously getting into acting. Forkum's talent took him west. He found animation work at Disney before landing a job at KMPC. At the radio station, John did everything from dramatic work to newscasting. He later earned a Peabody Award for his coverage of the first U.N. Conference. He spent the last half of World War II in the Army. After being honorably discharged, he returned to California. Now using his mother's maiden name, Dehner, hoped to act. Lawrence Dobkin remembered how difficult it was for an outsider to find Hollywood work. But Dehner had good timing. Thanks to William Paley's Packaged Program initiative, CBS was piloting dozens of shows. By 1948, he was a regular on the network, where a new crop of directors like Elliott Lewis and Norman MacDonnell were joining veterans like Bill Robson and Bill Spier. On August 1st, Dehner appeared on Escape in Bill Robson's production of “The Man Who Would Be King.” On April 11th, 1950 Dehner appeared in an episode of The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. It was noted because Bill Conrad subbed for star Gerald Mohr. The pair's relationship went back to their days at KMPC. By the early 1950s, Dehner had appeared on The NBC University Theater, The Screen Directors Playhouse, Escape, and The Whistler. Dehner became a regular on Gunsmoke after its 1952 debut. This is from the December 27th, 1952 episode called, “The Cabin.” Dehner spent the next six years playing a variety of parts on shows like Gunsmoke and Johnny Dollar. He was a toothless drunk, dashing leading man, vile psychopath, pillar of the community, and no nonsense anti-hero. In 1955 Gunsmoke's success led CBS and director Norman Macdonnell to launch a second adult western called Fort Laramie. John Dehner auditioned for the lead on July 25th, 1955. But he was worried about being typecast and Captain Lee Quince went to Raymund Burr. With no sponsorship Fort Laramie lasted only ten months before being canceled after the October 28th, 1956 episode. Gunsmoke remained CBS's only western until February of 1958 when Dehner was cast as J.B. Kendall in Antony Ellis' production of Frontier Gentleman. Kendall was an English journalist writing for the London Times, weaving his way through the Western territories of the US in the late nineteenth century. In the September 1st, 1958 issue of Broadcasting Magazine WCBS Radio in New York took out a local ad touting their station as having the city's most persuasive radio salesmen. They also hailed their star personalities like Jack Sterling, Lanny Ross, Jim Lowe, Martha Wright, and Galen Drake. More and more network programming was being left to local stations. William N. Robson remembered that time. Frontier Gentleman lasted nine months. In November, the network announced it was dropping several shows, including Nora Drake, Our Gal Sunday, Backstage Wife, The FBI in Peace and War, Indictment, The Galen Drake Show, City Hospital, and Frontier Gentleman.

This latest Project Audion vintage radio recreation (orig. rel. 4/8/22) is an hour-long dramatization of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four...which was originally produced in August 1949, just months after the book, to great acclaim, was released. NBC University Theater adapted this scathing vision of a possible future where "Freedom is Slavery" and "Big Brother is watching you." Big Brother is part of our cultural currency now, but in 1949, "1984" was a new and daring novel, and this early audio adaptation feels fresh - and still terrifying.

This is a snippet from Breaking Walls Episode 95: Radio And The Classroom (1939 - 1965) _________________________ As the end of Summer turns into Autumn, the weather cools off and Friday night football games, dances, and eventually All Hallow's Eve become part of school functions. In 1820 Washington Irving, one of America's first great novelists, penned a short story called “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” The tale is about a schoolmaster Ichabod Crane, a superstitious outsider. He's competing for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. Sleepy Hollow is a small village in Westchester County, just north of New York City. This aired on NBC's American Novels from WMAQ Chicago on Friday September 19th, 1947 at 10:30PM. Part of a larger series called The World's Great Novels, the concept was born from the NBC Education Department. Ichabod Crane sees marriage to Katrina as path to wealth, but his rival Van Brunt plays a series of pranks on the jittery schoolmaster, and tensions among the three are soon brought to a head. On a cool autumn night, Crane attends a harvest party at the Van Tassels' homestead. He dances, feasts, and listens to ghostly legends told by Van Brunt and the locals. He leaves after failing to secure Katrina's hand, riding his horse through woodland between the Homestead and Sleepy Hollow. It was renamed The NBC University Theater of the Air, and production moved to Hollywood on July 30th, 1948, The series was offered as a college accredited course and was considered one of the most ambitious radio programs on the air. It now featured intermission commentary from luminaries and won a Peabody Award before going off the air on February 14th, 1951.

It was originally an idea by the illustrator Robert Seymour, although in his preface to the 1867 edition, Dickens strenuously denied this, writing that "Mr Seymour never originated or suggested an incident, a phrase, or a word, to be found in the book." At any event, Dickens was asked to contribute to the project as an up and coming writer following the success of Sketches by Boz, published in 1836. Dickens, supremely confident as ever, increasingly took over the unsuccessful monthly publication after Seymour had committed suicide. With the introduction of Sam Weller in chapter 10, the book became the first real publishing phenomenon, with bootleg copies, theatrical performances, Sam Weller joke books and other merchandise.

NBC University Theater is an unusual series that focused on reenacting novels by great authors for college classes. Many accredited American universities such as Washington State College, University of Louisville, and University of Tulsa, used this dramatic series as a supplement to correspondent college courses. The series' creators made study guides to accompany the courses. Students studying great literature by Steinbeck, Faulkner, Hemingway, Huxley, and many others listened to these shows every week. It was an ambitious series that remained popular despite its academic and non-commercial appeal. The shows are high quality and will please many fans of great literature.THIS EPISODE:At Heaven's Gate is the story of Sue Murdock, daughter of the powerful and wealthy Bogan Murdock. Sue struggles to escape her father's control in a southern American city before the Great Depression. She takes up with Jerry (Bull's Eye) Calhoun, a college football star who graduates to work in a bank controlled by her father. She leaves Jerry when he defends Sue's grandfather's honor. Sue takes her own apartment in a seedy part of town and starts associating with Slim Sarrett, a writer and intellectual. Her relationship with Slim falls apart after he is visited by an old lover.
