Outward Bound (Aired August 3, 1952)

INTRO" Bob Plays The Classic IV "Island Of Paradise" (1962)

Best Plays presents theatrical paramounts of excellence. It's hosted by the drama critic of New York’s Daily News, John Chapman. Dramatic and comedic performances outshine other theater radio shows, greatly performed by such greats as Boris Karloff and Alfred Drake. In The Episode "On Borrowed Time," a 1939 film about the role death plays in life, and how we cannot live without it we see an adaptation from Paul Osborn's 1938 Broadway play, which was a smash hit. The play, based on a novel by Lawrence Edward Watkin, has been revived twice on Broadway since its original run. This is an example of this quality radio series.
