Boxcars711Old Time Radio Pod - Curtain Time "Reading Writing & Romance" (02-28-48)


Reading Writing & Romance (Aired February 28, 1948)


Curtain Time, like First Nighter, presented romantic drama in a theater setting complete with the announcer shouting, “Tickets please, thank you”. The shows announcer was Harry Halcomb who was later known best for his appearances on the 60 minutes television show. Great scripts and superb acting, Curtain Time is truly an Old Time Radio Classic. Mutual Network, local KNX show sustained, heard Fridays 7:30 - 8:00 pm
