Classic Radio for June 26, 2024 - The Blind Beggar Dies, The Last Fred Allen Show, and the Unreasonable Aunt
Update: 2024-06-26
Description
2 + Hours of a mixed bag of Summer memories
First a look at this day in History.
Then The Shadow starring Orson Welles and Margot Stevenson, originally broadcast June 26, 1938, 86 years ago, The Blind Beggar Dies. Missing airplanes in South American lead the Shadow to a mad scientist with a serum to make people older.
Followed by the news from 86 years ago, then Jack Benny, originally broadcast June 26, 1938, 86 years ago, Last Show of the Season. Mary reads a farewell poem on the last show of the season. Phil sings (in Kenny's absence). Mary sings, "Says My Heart." Jack invites the gang to The Trocadero when Swing Hi (his Chinese cook) refuses to cook for the cast. Guest Dave Elman describes his show, "Hobby Lobby," which will replace Jack's show for the summer.
Then The Fred Allen Show, originally broadcast June 26, 1949, 75 years ago, his last show. The last show of the series, the last regularly scheduled show starring Fred. A walk down Main Street, asking the Allen's Alley residents "Do most people plan their vacations?" The De Marco Sisters sing, "Time Didn't Change A Thing," written by Ann De Marco. Guest Henry Morgan needs $300, so Fred takes him to the secret vault of "Mr. X." NBC has the last laugh though...
Followed by The Adventures of Frank Merriwell starring Lawson Zerbe, originally broadcast June 26, 1948, 76 years ago, Unreasonable Aunt. Frank saves a woman from being cheated out of her soap factory.
Finally Lum and Abner, originally broadcast June 26, 1942, 82 years ago, Elizabeth and Pearl Leave. Lum's brilliant idea to make peace between Abner and Lizabeth...break down the door!
