Who were the 35 actors that performed with stars Bud Abbott and Lou
Costello in radio's ""The Abbott and Costello Show""? Do scripts
survive for the old Burns and Allen shows or the children's crime
fighter series ""The Green Hornet""? Serious researchers and
curious browsers interested in Golden Age radio will find a wealth
of information in this reference guide to surviving scripts. Most
are from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, though subsequent decades are
included for long-running shows. Crime series, whodunits, romances,
situation comedies, variety shows, soap operas, quiz show series
and others are included. Casual browsers will find tidbits on the
radio careers of notables from other media (Humphrey Bogart, Ginger
Rogers), mention of adaptations by famous authors (Jack London, Ray
Bradbury), curious episode titles (""The Gorilla That Always Said
Yeh-ah"") and series titles (""Whispering Streets""), and
interesting sponsors (Insect-O-Blitz). The first section is an
alphabetical list of significant radio script collections, with
notes on their content and format and information on the collector.
The second section is the guide to series scripts. Entries include
title and basic information, including collection(s) in which they
are found; producers, directors, writers, musicians and regular
cast; sponsors; and holdings by date, episode number and title.
Increasing the book's usefulness for researchers are indexes by
name, program and sponsor.
