Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt Cox

Classic Radio for February 14, 2024 - Jack's 130th Birthday and Western Adventure


Listen Later

Two + hours of Western and the Birthday Boy Jack Benny.

First a look at this day in History.

Then The Six Shooter starring Jimmy Stewart, originally broadcast February 14, 1954, 70 years ago, Quiet City. The son of the sheriff of Quiet City is leaving town, refusing to follow in his father's footsteps. A shoot-out with a killer proves they both have the right idea.

Followed by Gunsmoke starring William Conrad, originally broadcast February 14, 1953, 71 years ago, The Roundup. During the annual round-up in Dodge, Matt's old pal Zell Matlock offers to help out...and is shot by Dillon!

Then Have Gun Will Travel starring John Dehner, originally broadcast February 14, 1960, 64 years ago, The Dollhouse In Diamond Springs. Paladin is hired to get back the $20,000 taken during the Diamond Springs bank robbery.

Followed by Jack Benny, originally broadcast February 14, 1954, 70 years ago, Jack Turns 40? It's Jack's birthday. Is it the 39th or the 40th (It was actually his 60th)?

Finally Jack Benny, originally broadcast February 14, 1937, 87 years ago, Jack’s Birthday. It's Jack's birthday (he's in "the neighborhood" of thirty-five), so Mary reads a poem. The band plays a fine swing arrangement of, "Ridin' High." Kenny sings, "The Lone Prairie." The cast does, "Highlights In The Life Of Fred Allen" (a very short skit!).
