The Lux Radio Theatre
"The Lux Radio Theatre" was radio's most important dramatic hour, commanding the top Hollywood stars, the biggest budgets, and the best writing, directing and sound effects. Cecil B. DeMille, the long-time host, was often shown in publicity photographs as overseeing every aspect of each broadcast, but the reality is that the show's real directors - Tony Stanford, Frank Woodruff, Fred MacKaye and Earl Ebi - did all of the heavy lifting from week to week, including keeping the stars' egos in check and making sure everything went off without a hitch. This collection offers ten full length one-hour broadcasts of "The Lux Radio Theatre", just as originally aired over CBS in 1945 and 1947, transferred directly from rare original transcription recordings and fully restored by Radio Archives for sparkling audio fidelity.
