The Hall Of Fantasy - "The Temple Of Huizilipochle" (06-29-53)

The Temple Of Huizilipochle (Aired June 29, 1953)

There were four series under the Hall Of Fantasy banner, all produced by Richard Thorne. The first Hall Of Fantasy originated from radio station KALL in Salt Lake City, Utah. Richard Thorne and Carl Greyson were announcers for the station and produced the rather barebones shows, possibly late in 1946 and into 1947. The series consisted of 26 shows. Broadcast dates for the shows are not known. The shows were written or adapted by Robert Olson and directed by Mr. Thorne. Most were classic murder mysteries with traditional endings; the evil-doer got his just rewards.  The series was sponsored by the Granite Furniture Company, although existing shows are missing the commercials, apparently because they were inserted live.
