American Armed Forces Radio No 71


Read by Lionel Barrymore

(5 stars; 2 reviews)

American Armed Forces Radio No 71 features a collection of Concert Hall broadcasts produced by the Armed Forces Radio Service. Hosted by Hollywood legend Lionel Barrymore, the show presents selections of classical music from talented musical artists of the World War II era.

Barrymore is better known for his film career, most notably for his role as the dour Mr. Potter in the film It's a Wonderful Life. However, his rich voice and unique delivery were well suited for radio, where he had a long and distinguished career. Enjoy the soothing auditory combination of Lionel Barrymore's warm narrative voice with timeless classical music.


This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
