  • Burns&Allen Gracie For President

    Burns&Allen Gracie For President
    2024/10/24
    "Gracie Runs for President" is a comedic radio play from the "Burns & Allen" show, which aired on February 28, 1940. The episode features Gracie Allen announcing her candidacy for President of the United States, much to the disbelief and sarcasm of her husband and straight man, George Burns. The play humorously explores Gracie's whimsical and nonsensical approach to politics, including her interactions with the regulars in this 1940 production such as Frank Parker, the featured singer on the program, Ray Noble , the orchestra leader who originally heralded from Brighton, Sussex in England and Turman Bradley the announcer. Gracie's campaign is filled with humorous misunderstandings and playful banter, highlighting her daffy personality. The episode refers to Hinds Honey and Almond Cream, the advertisers for the program. The play ends with Gracie confidently looking forward to her imagined presidency, despite the chaos and hilarity that ensues throughout the broadcast. This Naples Players Radio Theatre production features the vocal talents of: Janina Birtolo as Gracie Allen, Michael Troop as George Burns, and Nathan Eichhorn and Gregg Birr doing the vocal characteristics of Truman, Ray Noble, Frank, Gene, Bubbles and the reporters. This audio file was recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Troop.

  • Phillip Marlowe - Murder Is My Business

    Phillip Marlowe - Murder Is My Business
    2024/10/01
    "Murder is My Business" - A Philip Marlowe Mystery. Phillip Marlowe aired on the radio from September 26, 1948, to March 27, 1951. It was written by the American-British novelist and screenwriter,Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) who was widely regarded at the time as one of the most influential crime fiction writers of the 20th century. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Chandler began his career in the oil industry before turning to writing later in life. His experiences working as an executive in the oil business, as well as his troubled personal life, would influence his writing style and the themes explored in his works. He is best known for creating the iconic character of Philip Marlowe, a private detective who first appeared in Chandler's first novel, "The Big Sleep," published in 1939 . The character embodies the archetype of the hard-boiled detective, a staple of the American crime fiction genre. He is a tough, street-smart, and morally ambiguous character who operates in a corrupt and gritty world. He is neither a strictly lawful nor an entirely criminal figure. While he often bends the rules to achieve his goals, he adheres to a personal code of ethics. Marlowe's sense of honor and justice sets him apart from the corrupt and immoral characters he encounters, adding depth and conflict to the narrative. He is a solitary figure, both physically and emotionally. He navigates a world filled with deceit and betrayal, where trust is rare. His loneliness is a recurring theme in Chandler's works, emphasizing the isolation and alienation that come with his profession thus giving the Marlowe character a sense of melancholy and vulnerability. This Naples Players Radio Theatre production features the vocal talents of Mitchel Frank as Phillip Marlowe, Vic Caroli as Wadsworth Jeeter, Patti Caroli as Harriet Huntress, Jim Heffernan as Marty Estel, Jim Corsica as Waldo, and Michael Troop as the Grover Jeeter, Hawkins and Wax Nose. This audio file was recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Troop.

  • Canterville Ghost

    Canterville Ghost
    2024/09/01
    The radio play, like the stage and screen adaptations of the “Canterville Ghost” is based on the 1887 novella by Oscar Wilde. In each adaptation, Sir Simon Canterville, the ghost, is doomed to haunt some sort of edifice. In the screen adaptation, the ghost haunts Canterville Chase, which is an old and imposing English manor house while in this radio production, the ghost haunts a medieval castle. In the screen and stage production the story involves the ghost carrying on its spectral duties, haunting an American family who have taken up residency within Canterville Chase . But this 1945 Lux radio adaptation by Edwin Bum has the ghost haunting the Castle which was occupied by a platoon of US soldiers, reflecting that period of time when the US was engaged in a world war. The story itself is a humorous and satirical take on the traditional ghost story, blending elements of comedy, romance, and the supernatural. Wilde uses the story to explore themes such as the clash of cultures between American pragmatism and British tradition, the nature of bravery and redemption, and the power of love and forgiveness to transcend death. And in each adaptation, the ghost is doomed to continue its haunting until a brave deed is performed which frees it from its worldly constraints. This Naples Players Radio Theatre production features the vocal talents of Kenneth Allen as Sir Simon, the ghost, David Whalley as the father of Sir Simon, Jackie Weiner as the aunt and cook, Cynthia Hile as Jessica, Jim Corsica as Cuffy, Kip Jones as the lieutenant and the GI from Hoboken, Gregg Birr as Edwards aka Trigger, Robert Mederios as Jordan, Vic Caroli is the narrator, and Michael Troop as the butler and sergeant. This audio file was recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Troop.
