Lux Radio Theatre 1946 - 1955


(5 stars; 1 review)

Lux Radio Theatre was indisputably the biggest, most important, most expensive drama anthology program on radio. It ran from October 14, 1934 until June 7, 1955, then continued on television as Lux Video Theatre until 1957. In all, some 926 episodes were broadcast, providing a record of the most important entertainment events in American theatre and later film.

The show featured adaptations of successful Broadway plays when it was produced out of New York, such as Seventh Heaven, Smilin' Through, Berkeley Square, and Way Down East. It was first broadcast on the NBC Blue Network on Sundays at 2:30 PM and later moved to CBS, where it would stay until June 29, 1954. Lux Radio Theatre was always broadcast live, with a studio audience and a full orchestra accompanying the performance.

Regular players for the series included Jim and Marian Jordan, otherwise known as Fibber McGee and Molly. Hosts included Cecil B. DeMille, William Keighley, and Irving Cummings. The show featured many of the most important films of the period, adapted to fit the 60-minute time slot, and was known for its high production values and star-studded casts.

Reviews

not in the OTRR collection?


I haven't had time to listen to these episodes (I am downloading them now), but I wonder why these episodes of Lux are not included in the first collection I download, the one created by the OTRR
