OLD-TIME RADIO: THE MAN FROM MEDICINE BOW

From April 19, 1939, Chester Morris stars in this episode of The Silver Theater (brought to you by International Silver).  The Silver Theater ran from 1937 to 1947, presenting 232 dramatic programs.  (This was in addition to 23 variety shows that ran on The Silver Theater Summer Show in 1941, which was hosted by Ed Sullivan.)

Dave Sherman has inherited a huge fortune from his father, including the Lazy B ranch in Medicine Bow, Wyoming.  With his new-fund wealth, Dave heads east to achieve one of his personal goals:  to meet real New York City gangsters.  Connie Banister (Glenda Farrell), the daughter of a New York banker friend of Dave's father, introduces Dave to some of her friends, pretending they are gangsters.  Conrad Nagel hosts this comedy written by Paul Franklin.

Enjoy.
