PITTSBURGH from The Screen Guild Players aired April 12, 1943 starring Marlene Dietrich, Randolph Scott and John Wayne. Taken from the film with original actors doing the radio show makes for a very entertaining yarn set against the backdrop of coalmines and WW2. Josie Winters (Marlene Dietrich) inspires Cash Evans (Randolph Scott) and Pittsburgh Markham (John Wayne) to leave their dull and exhausting lives of working the coalmines, and to make their mark on society and big business. A great story, one that everyone will enjoy.Calfkiller Old Time Radio

Joe Friday and Ben Romero track down two phony talent scouts who are victimizing teenage girls with Hollywood dreams.

Panic in the Streets from Lux Radio Theater aired March 5, 1951. After brawling over a card game in the wharf area of New Orleans, a man named Kochak, suffering visibly from a flu-like illness, is killed by gangster Blackie and his two flunkies, Kochak's cousin Poldi and a man named Fitch. They leave the body on the docks, and later when the dead man, who carries no identification, is brought to the morgue, the coroner grows suspicious about the bacteria present in his blood and calls his superior, Dr. Clinton Reed, (played by Richard Widmark) a uniformed doctor working for the U.S. Public Health Service. Dr. Reed and a police captain (Paul Douglas) have only a day or two in which to prevent an epidemic. Can a doctor turn detective? Richard Widmark and Paul Douglas give one of the most outstanding performances you will hear in a radio drama. You may remember Paul Douglas from his two baseball comedy movies, Angels in the Outfield (1951) and It Happens Every Spring (1949). Widmark made his debut as a radio actor in 1938 on Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories. In 1941 and 1942, he was heard daily on the Mutual Broadcasting System in the title role of the daytime serial Front Page Farrell, introduced each afternoon as "the exciting, unforgettable radio drama... the story of a crack newspaperman and his wife, the story of David and Sally Farrell." Farrell was a top reporter for the Brooklyn Eagle. When the series moved to NBC, Widmark turned the role over to Carleton G. Young and Staats Cotsworth. During the 1940s, Widmark was also heard on such network radio programs as Gang Busters, Inner Sanctum Mysteries, Joyce Jordan, M.D., Molle Mystery Theater, Suspense and Ethel and Albert. He returned to radio drama decades later, performing on CBS Radio Mystery Theater (1974-82), and was also one of the five hosts on Sears Radio Theater (as the Friday "adventure night" host) from 1979-81. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Tommy Udo in his debut film, Kiss of Death.Calfkiller Old Time Radio

The Awful Truth from Hollywood Radio Theater aired January 18, 1955 starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant. This is the radio version taken from the classic 1937 romantic comedy film.

The bright, zesty, and carefree film was nominated for six Academy Awards..Calfkiller Old Time Radio
