Lux Radio Theatre 1935 - 1945


(4.8 stars; 3 reviews)

Lux Radio Theatre was indisputably the biggest, most important, and most expensive drama anthology program on radio. It ran from October 14, 1934, until June 7, 1955, and then continued on television as Lux Video Theatre until 1957. In all, some 926 episodes were broadcast, providing a record of the most important entertainment events in American theatre and later film.

The show featured adaptations of successful Broadway plays and was first broadcast on the NBC Blue Network on Sundays at 2:30 PM. It moved to CBS on July 29, 1935, and later to Hollywood in 1936. The audience for this production was estimated as high as 40 million, showcasing many important films of the period adapted to fit the 60-minute time slot.

Lux Radio Theatre was always broadcast live, with a studio audience and a full orchestra accompanying the performance. Regular players included Jim and Marian Jordan, and hosts included Cecil B. DeMille and William Keighley. The series remains a significant part of radio history.
