This show is not in the collection of Goldin, listed as unavailable in OTRR and not for sale at OTR vendors.

This disc was another from the collection donated to us by the estate of Arthur Jim Sandler.  We are grateful to the estate for providing these discs so that you can enjoy this show.

Globe Theater 187

This is My Best – “Princess O’Hara”

Starring Charley Cantor, Alan Reed, Eddie Marr, Lurene Tuttle, Bea Benadaret

Host: Herbert Marshall

Also in the cast is actor John Brown.  His plaintive, sometimes panicky, voice would be the narrator and omnipresent character of the 1949 series “Damon Runyon Theater,” where this story would be performed again.  You’ll find a  nicely-researched biography of Brown at the Digital Deli.

This episode, broadcast as a network episode on December 5, 1944, is taken from the series “This Is My Best”.  Fans of this series will be pleased to note that this is not yet in general circulation.

(The last portion of side 2 of this disc is a portion of the December 3, 1944 episode of “Matinee Theater” – “Jane Eyre” starring Victor Jory.)
