Voices from 1939 talking with one of the Greatest Voices on Old Time Radio
In 1939 Orson Welles was only 24 years old but a veteran of Radio. He’d been a regular on The March of Time and was enjoying a very successful run playing the Shadow.
These excerpts are from the Campbell Playhouse in 1939, previously named Mercury Theater of the Air.
These interviews were a regular feature of the Campbell Playhouse. And were meant to deepen the audience understanding of that week’s Radio Play.
