<br /> Curtain Time had two separate runs on radio. The fist run was sponsored by General Mills from 1937 to 1939 and the second aired from 1945 to 1950, sponsored by the Mars Candy Co. Interesting is that this romantic drama had a theater setting and announcements with the announcer shouting "tickets please". Many of the episodes were romantic stories where a boy meets his dream girl and what happens afterwards. Announcer for the series was Harry Halcomb who was later known best for his appearances on the 60 minutes television show. Curtain Time is truly an Old Time Radio Classic. Mutual Network, local KNX show sustained, heard Fridays 7:30 - 8:00 pm. <b>THIS EPISODE:</b> June 12, 1948. NBC network, Chicago origination. <b><i>"The Controlling Interest"</i></b>. Sponsored by: Mars Bar. Patrick Allen (host), Mike Wallace (announcer, billed as "Myron Wallace"), Harry Elders, Nannette Sargent, Hoyt Andreas (writer), Maurice Copeland, George Cisar, Bert Farber (arranger, conductor). 28:11.<p><!-- FreeTellaFriend - BEGIN --> <a href="http://www.freetellafriend.com/tell/?u=4625" title="Tell a Friend" target="_blank"><img alt="Tell a Friend" src="http://serv1.freetellafriend.com/button_red3.gif" border="0" /></a> <!-- FreeTellaFriend - END --> |
