Soap Opera (1938-56)

Florence Freeman

One of the Hummert's most popular soap operas, Young Widder Brown transcended time and appealed to the common folk of America. The show tells the story of young Ellen, a 30 year old mother, who struggles to raise her children without the small town mentality that came with living in Simpsonsville.

Simpsonsville was not your typical, homegrown town of great neighbors and good ol' fashioned football. This small town harbored lies, deceit, and all the other juicy ingredients that accompanied a Hummert-written soap opera. Ellen, the owner of a tearoom in the town, was usually received the short end of the "stick," and was never given the benefit of the doubt. Her foes would make misleading stories about Ellen, which at one point, led to a town-wide boycott of the tearoom! If this was not enough, Ellen had to deal with suitors that would be easily seduced by either the beautiful, but very spoiled and petulant, such as Joyce Burton, or the evil and despicable, such as Millicent.

The show's deceit lasted all the way up to June, 22nd of 1956, where her long-sought love, Doctor Anthony Loring, finally proposed to Ellen during the final episode, and in the final seconds! While falling into each other's arms, due to exhaustion, Anthony said "Will you marry me, Ellen?" and Ellen replied, "Yes, I will, Anthony!"

This collection is in the extensive Hummert Radio Factory Collection. Called the parents of soap opera, Anne and Frank Hummert also created Betty and Bob, Front Page Farrell, Mr. Keen Tracer of Lost Persons, Ma Perkins, Just Plain Bill, Mary Noble Backstage Wife, Young Widder Brown, Mr. Chameleon, Stella Dallas, Manhattan Merry Go Round, Lora Lawton, The American Melody Hour, Hearthstone of the Death Squad, Lorenzo Jones, Nona From Nowhere, Our Gal Sunday, Inspector Thorne, Romance of Helen Trent, and more.

    One storyline comes to mind: Ellen "Widow" Brown was shot & there is only one doctor in the country that knows the operation to save her. The doctor has a stroke in flight to save her life while Ellen waits in the hospital for a miracle. You can guess how it comes out.

    It is such fun to read about and see pictures of the actresses and actors who made those Soap Operas come alive back in the 40's and 50's. I was a child when most of these soap operas were on radio. I used to listen to them along with my mother, who listened to them every single day ! I remember I had these images in my head, making up what the characters looked like. Listening to these soap operas with my mother is a part of my childhood which I remember fondly. I wish my mother were here with me now to read all about her favorite soap operas of so long ago. She would thoroughly enjoy it . Thank you for bringing back all those memories which are still fresh in my mind after all these years !!

    Finally- not just a few shows with no continuity but weeks of programs & in their proper order so we can once again experience a story line in depth. I even remember hearing a few of the episodes as originally broadcast so many years ago. The voices- oh, those actors voices are so familiar to me. What a thrill to tune in once again. I just don't want it to ever end but it will again just as it did back in the 1950's. But I can always replay the cd!
