Old Time Radio

129 Original classic radio plays (Over 60 hours )

on 2 CD's (MP3 format)

 

Imagine Hollywood's biggest stars performing, week after week, free of charge - to help fellow actors in need. This was the Screen Guild Theatre radio show's mission.

 Each participating Screen Actors Guild member contributed his/her full salary to the Motion Picture Relief Fund (founded in 1921, and known today as the Motion Picture & Television Fund).

Generally, the shows were radio versions of current or past theatrical films, frequently with all, or some, of the original cast. The debut show, on January 8, 1939, was simply a revue, hosted George Murphy, with Judy Garland, Jack Benny, Ralph Morgan, Joan Crawford and Reginald Gardner. Later shows included Clark Gable in Red Dust, Blue Bird (featuring Shirley Temple's first radio broadcast), James Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy and Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire
