Sunday Story Time on Southbridge Old Time Radio


Today we begin a new feature on Southbridge Old Time Radio - Sunday Story Time. The golden age of radio had many anthology series that told different stories each week. The cast (at least the main stars) usually were not the same each week as well.

The Screen Directors' Playhouse was an anthology series in which stars of Hollywood movies recreated their screen roles for radio adaptation.  The narrator was usually the director of the original movie.



Today, Southbridge Old Time Radio presents "Stagecoach" starring John Wayne in his breakthrough role. Co-starring is Claire Trevor.  John Ford, film director, is on hand to provide narration.

Enjoy this very first episode of the National Broadcasting Company's Screen Directors' Playhouse - Stagecoach!
