Over the years the motion picture career of Jimmy Stewart has been
highly praised and well documented. But did you know that he also
had an extensive career on the radio? Among the pages of this well
researched book, you will read the detailed work of Stewart on the
radio. When Stewart lent his talent "on the air," radio was at its
prime and was the main source of entertainment in the homes of
America and around the world. Stewart was at the heart of all of
this. In all, his radio career spanned seven decades. He did comedy
with Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby and Mortimer Snerd. He did
drama on Lux Radio Theatre, Screen Guild Theater and Suspense. He
even brought some of his best films to the listening audience,
including Harvey, The Philadelphia Story and Winchester '73. Go
back now to those glory days of radio, when your "mind's eye" and a
healthy dose of imagination brought you genuine, clean fun and
entertainment. Back to a time when glamorous Hollywood stars
weren't afraid to have their voices do all the acting for them...no
makeup, no costumes, no pictures of any kind. Come back to a time
when Jimmy Stewart traveled the airwaves. Enjoy
