    Enjoyable! Good dialogue and Welles sends himself up a bit while demonstrating a great vocal flexibility that shows why he was such a star in radio.

      Interested in ghost stories and fantasy? Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand-new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT. PLUS, a radio fantasy-comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: ruclips.net/video/Hex2ltykNTM/видео.html--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on RUclips

    Orson Welles pulls out all the Stops in this episode. His imitation of John Barrymore is amazingly accurate and a bit unnerving at times.

      About the only talent I don't think he had was singing. But who knows, he may have had a good singing voice. William "Bill" Conrad (who was radio's first Marshall Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke" and later as "Cannon" on Television), who in his later years looked like Orson Welles to me had a great singing voice.
      William "Bill" Conrad and Orson Welles both started out in radio. "Bill" Conrad starred in over 7,500 radio shows not to forget his television and film roles. Orson Welles certainly made his mark in radio, but I doubt he can top that record.

    I don't know the statistics, but I doubt if there would be few if any of the radio stars from the Golden Age of Radio to surpass the 7,500 radio shows in which William "Bill" Conrad starred both in co-starring and starring roles. His most famous role was as Marshall Matt Dillon in the original version of "Gunsmoke" which ran from April 26, 1952 until 1961. His opening announcement for ESCAPE (another great Radio Show) and his many roles in the episodes were also quite numerous and some of the most popular in the long run of the radio's series.
    After and during the last years of "Gunsmoke" William Conrad directed the television show for a few years then became an Executive at Warner Bros. Then came his television success "CANNON". He was probably one of the most active Actors in Hollywood, both on radio, television and his executive work at Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, California.
    The television show with James Arness began in 1955 and both the radio and television shows ran conjunctively from 1955 until 1961 when the "Gunsmoke" radio series ended and was pulled from CBS.
    "Gunsmoke" was the last dramatic radio show from Radio's Golden Age to be aired and produced in Hollywood. The Golden Age of Radio was over. It was television from that point onward.

      The World in which we live today is changing faster than any time in History. The results of mankind living in such a fast changing World are yet to be fully known,. but I feel much of the discontent we see these days is due to such a fast changing World in practically every aspect of living that we know.

      Seemed like it's been going in that direction since early 1900's. Just more aware with invention of the internet!

    • @richardmcleod5967
      @richardmcleod5967 6 лет назад +6

      I sometimes wonder about being more aware because of the Internet. In ways I can say yes, but like the other day I was with a friend out shopping and we heard a song on the radio which I knew, but couldn't think of the name immediately. My friend started to rely on her computer to tell her the name of the song and before she could get the information, I remembered it. The difference was I relied on my brain to remember the song and she completely forgot to use her brain and relied on her computer which did give her the name of the song.
      That is my worry, we tend to forget how to use our own brains on certain occasions as this and rely on a hand held computer instead.
