Welcome to this week's edition of "Saturday Matinee" on Vintage Classic Radio! Prepare to be regaled with laughter, drama, and a dash of nostalgia as we line up three timeless radio shows from the golden age of radio. First up, we'll be joining the iconic duo Laurel and Hardy in "Mr. Slater's Poultry Market". In this hilarious escapade, Stan and Ollie find themselves embroiled in a series of comic misadventures when they take up jobs at Mr. Slater's bustling poultry market. The simple task of preparing and delivering chickens becomes a fiasco only this pair could conjure up. The episode stars Stan Laurel as Stan, Oliver Hardy as Ollie, with James Finlayson lending his talents as the perpetually flustered Mr. Slater. A host of other characters adds to the mayhem, bringing laughter aplenty. Following the laughter, we'll simmer down with "Coffee and Cake" by Colgate's Theater of Romance, which originally graced the airwaves on April 16th, 1955. This heartwarming tale invites listeners into the life of a small-town baker whose world is turned upside down when love unexpectedly walks through the door. This stirring romantic drama stars Jeffrey Lynn and Barbara Fuller in the lead roles, supported by a talented cast including Lester Maine as the town's doctor, Sylvia Field as the caring aunt, and John McIntire as the wise best friend. Finally, we wrap up with the delightful "Our Miss Brooks" radio show, in the episode "Where To Go For Thanksgiving", which first entertained audiences on November 27th, 1949. Connie Brooks, played by the incomparable Eve Arden, finds herself in a bind when her Thanksgiving plans are upended, leading to a comical quest for a place to celebrate the holiday. The show features Gale Gordon as the irascible Principal Osgood Conklin, Richard Crenna as the well-meaning student Walter Denton, and Jane Morgan as the lovable landlady Mrs. Davis. So tune in to Vintage Classic Radio this Saturday for a journey back in time with these three cherished shows. From the slapstick genius of Laurel and Hardy to the tender charm of Colgate's Theater of Romance, and the whimsical wit of "Our Miss Brooks", there's something for everyone in our "Saturday Matinee".

This is a snippet from Breaking Walls Episode 95: Radio And The Classroom (1939 - 1965) _________________________ Our Miss Brooks debuted in transcription on CBS, Monday July 19th, 1948 as a summer fill-in for The Lux Radio Theater.

The show also featured Gloria McMillan, Mary Jane Croft, Gerald Mohr, and Maurice Marsac. From the beginning teachers everywhere identified with Connie Brooks.
