The Globe Theatre Program #12
Host: Herbert Marshall
Scrooge" Lionel Barrymore
So, we go from the AFRS recording of "The Mayor of the Town" that featured Lionel Barrymore's 1943 performance as Scrooge in his annual adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" to another AFRS recording using that same series, this one from the "Globe Theatre" show, as hosted by Herbert Marshall in 1944.
This particlaur series took recordings from "regular" radio shows and edited them a bit for presentation under the "Globe Theatre" name for service personnel. Herbert Marshall mentions at the end of the show that this was selected from "Mayor of the Town" (leaving off the "the" - what would Harlow Wilcox say?) and mentions that Frank Martin is the narrator (good to confirm) and Bernard Katz is the music director.
Give it a listen below and we'll discuss next time:
