Lady Clara and Marcia Mannering of Mary Noble
Soap Opera (1935-59)

Deceit, jealousy, rage, avarice, amnesia…these are typical traits that hover around Mary Noble Backstage Wife, a show that centers around the life of Mary Noble. Mary Noble is a small town girl that came to the big city of New York, and married into the stage life, when she married Larry Noble, a very prominent actor, and "a matinee idol of a million other women."

Vivian Fridell

Mary had to compete with hussies, jezebels, and schemers that made an art form for the shenanigans. Life was really hard for Mary, even though she would not admit it. "Suffer" is not the operative word to describe Mary's marriage. She constantly was being nagged by jealousy, and her trust and love for her fickle husband was tested, virtually, everyday. Coupled with typical soap opera characters, such as "the unscrupulous Rupert Barlow," and "the calculating, devious Regina Rawlings," Mary Nobel, Backstage Wife will leave you hanging off the end of your seats as you desperately try to sort out to chaos of stage life!

For more exciting soap opera dramas, see Ma Perkins, and Young Widder Brown. Please note, like many of the soap series, these recordings may not contain the opening and closing music.

    One of the slowest but most entertaining of the soap serials! Great voices and characters clearly written and identifiable. Wish there were more episodes!

    And, of course, important in Bob and Ray! I love their send up of this series!

    This is really one of the only examples of a true network (as opposed to syndicated) OTR soap opera that is available in a significant quantity of continuous episodes. The cast is exceptional and the storylines are entertaining. The quality of the disc is quite good, better than another one I have in some places, but it seems like some modern technology could be used to get rid of surface noise. I do not think these shows are "restored" in any sense, but other than a few of the non-continuous episodes early in the disc, all of it is quite listenable and even excellent in many places. I wish there were more shows!
