A Mixed Bag


(4 Sterne)

A mixed bag for this anthology series. Some of the better ones are, "Under the Midnight Sun" and "You Have to Have Something." Nice way to spend 15 minutes.

wonderful, brilliant programs


(5 Sterne)

so nice to have these archived so we have the pleasure of enjoying them today. I am stunned at the writing & inventiveness of the authors who not only came up with these brilliant tales (and were barely paid enough to eat on) but that these were what made up the content in women's magazines almost a century ago. Compare these with what is now in the magazines. With these programs we can sit back, relax, close our eyes and imagine we are back in time listening to this on an old tube radio as it was broadcast.
