The Theatre Guild

No wonder it's the big show.

and Sunday evening also means Theater Guild on the air.

This Sunday, Theater Guild presents Boomerang, starring Kirk

Douglas.

And now back to the 2-5-1-2-3-5-6-7-9 caper, tonight's adventure with Sam Spade.

The events themselves are a matter of record.

Later this evening, great entertainment continues on the NBC radio network with such stellar programs as The Big Show, The Phil Harris Alice Faye Show, Theater Guild on the Air, and The $64 Question.

Immediately following Tales of the Texas Rangers, you will hear The Big Show with Tallulah Bankhead and all of her guest stars.

Today, listen for Vera Lynn, Jack Carson, James Barton, Tony Bavar, and Bob and Ray, along with Meredith Wilson and the Big Show Chorus and Orchestra.

The Big Show brings 90 minutes of enjoyable listening.

And then Phil Harris and Alice Faye step before the NBC microphones to bring you mirth and music in their own inimitable manner.

Later, it's Theater Guild on the Air with Dorothy McGuire, David Niven, and Roddy McDowell in the Theater Guild presentation of The Thief.

And then, too, you'll be happily entertained by Jack Parr as he asks the $64 question.

Your stars for this evening's Big Show, in addition to the unpredictable Tallulah, will be Louis Calhearn, Jimmy Durante, Jack Carter, Martha Ray, and many, many more.

For drama tonight, Theatre Guild on the Air presents a one-hour adaptation of the fascinating story Trilby, starring Rex Harrison and Teresa Wright.

So remember, The Big Show and Theatre Guild on NBC.

I started Ornot in 2013, and we make bike apparel.

The best part of Shopify for me is our ability to run the business as essentially non-technical people.

Our show, the, uh, Phil Harris Alice Faye show with Frankie Remley, Brother William, Julius Sabrosio, and little Allison Phillips.

And don't forget the Theatre Guild on the air, Phil.

That's right.

Immediately following our show, you'll hear your favorite stars of Hollywood and Broadway in great plays on Theatre Guild on the air.

So we hope you'll stay tuned right here to NBC.

Thank you, Phil Harris and Alice Faye.

Which perfectly brings us back to that electric night at the Belasco Theatre.

Let's look really closely at the mechanics of this 1950 broadcast of David Copperfield because this was part of Theatre Guild on the Air.

And for listeners who might not be familiar with the landscape of 1950s American network radio, this was not just a quiet group of actors standing in a padded soundproof room, you know? This was an absolute spectacle.

The scale of these broadcasts is really difficult to overstate.

Theatre Guild on the Air was produced by Armina Marshall, who was a formidable playwright and the first co-director of the Theatre Guild.

A total powerhouse.

Oh, yeah.

McWhinnie in particular was a champion of what we can call the aesthetic turn in radio.
