Romantic Drama (1938 - 39, 1945 -50)

Harry eldersLike First Nighter, this romantic drama had a theater setting and announcements. Often boy-meets-girl romantic stories, this series was complete with the announcer shouting "tickets please, thank you, sir!" The series announcer, Harry Halcomb, was best known for his later appearances

    Most of them are light fluffy romantic comedies, and sometimes that's just what I'm in the mood for! It was sponsored by Mars candy. I've heard that each person in the audience recieved a Mars bar on the way out. I just found the show “curtain time “. It’s awesome!

    Kenny Verified Purchase

    I listened to ALL of the episodes last year. All but one were exactly what you described: "light fluffy romantic comedies". If I recall correctly, that one exception was a drama of some sort.

    Jimmy Verified Purchase

    One unique feature of "Curtain Time": The cast is the same for each story. But, as a listener, you don't really notice this, since the actors play different roles on each episode, and they have versatile voices. You can easily skip the first 90 seconds of each episode. They are all nearly identical (i.e., the announcer pretending to be at a Broadway-ish theater, where the story will be performed. This announcer is actually Mike Wallace, who would later be a famed TV news reporter and 60 Minutes co-host). None of the original commercials are deleted, including mid-way. As you mentioned, the sponsor is the Mars candy company. So, if you binge the episodes of this program, the ads might get a little tiresome, after a while. By the way: "First Nighter" is a very similar OTR show, as far as format, and type of stories.(and - if I remember correctly - so is "Philip Morris Theater". But, the "Call for Philip Morris!" screeching, on each episode, might drive you up the wall).
