Inhaltsangabe
The long-running radio anthology The Screen Guild Players helped raise money for the Motion Picture Relief Fund, a country home and hospital for retired, ill, indigent or destitute Motion Picture Industry artists. Hollywood actors were only too happy to donate their fees to the fund for appearing on the prestigious radio program. A 1940 magazine article noted that The Screen Guild Players was “the only sponsored program on the air which gives all its profits to charity.” Much like The Lux Radio Theater, The Screen Guild Players presented radio dramatizations of popular movies of the era, usually with the original film stars at the microphone. Condensing a full-length film story into a twenty-two-minute radio play presented considerable challenges to the writers (in 1950-51, the series was expanded to a full hour). Broadcast from 1939 until 1952 for sponsors Gulf Oil, Lady Esther Cosmetics, and Camel Cigarettes, nearly every major Hollywood star made an appearance, including Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Shirley Temple, Bing Crosby, Jack Benny, Clark Gable, Ingrid Bergman, and Judy Garland. By the end of the run, The Screen Guild Theater had earned more than $5 million for the Motion Picture Relief Fund (that’s approximately $50 million in today’s dollars). Enjoy one hour-long episode and fourteen half-hour episodes from this incredible radio series!
