A MIXED BAG WITH A WESTERN SLANT

Long before Bob Barker became a game show host and also hosted Truth or Consequences on TV, the producer of that show Ralph Edwards, hosted THIS IS YOUR LIFE. On this weeks Radio Vault we hear the last show of the 1949 season reviewing all their past shows. On another fun show, we learn why kite flying in October is a bad idea in the 1943 broadcast of THE ALDRICH FAMILY.
Finally, we hear three examples of first rate Adult Westerns from competing networks CBS and NBC: The Six Shooter starring James Stewart, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone produced by William N. Robson for CBS (best known for his work on Suspense). We always save the best for last: It's GUNSMOKE starring William Conrad, best known as TV's private eye "Cannon" and "Jake and the Fat Man." Conrad owned and helped shape the role of Marshall Matt Dillon on radio, but was not selected for the TV version because of his physical appearance. Along with Conrad, a cast of hard-core radio professionals including Parley Baer. Baer is best known as "The Keebler Elf" on television. Georgia Ellis as "Kitty" and Howard McNear as "Doc."
