Show #41 - Escape and Frontier Gentleman

This week on the Old Time Radio Express we explore great radio dramatic writing.  The first is an adaptation of an Arthur Conan Doyle tale that even the most ardent Conan Doyle fans may not be aware of.  The second is an original tale from the pen of Antony Ellis, a veteran radio man.

In addition to stellar writing, both shows take us back in time, as Escape's production of the Conan Doyle tale is set in England of about a century ago, and the Frontier Gentleman series is set in the Wild West of our America.

Interestingly enough, the lead in the Escape program we have for you tonight auditioned for, and almost won, the role of J.B. Kendall, main character in Frontier Gentleman - a role that ended up going to John Dehner.  As it is, Dehner has a small role on the Escape program. 

As it is, Dehner is credited with some 850+ radio appearances, and Wright some 650+.  Both pretty impressive resumes. 

So not only do you get good writing, but some darn good acting today...enjoy....
