The Fun of OTR

A couple of years ago I talked about my mother‘s voice training during the years of classic radio entertainment. Later that year I met Ann Robinson, who starred in the classic film The War of the Worlds. I wanted to talk about one of the all-time greatest radio actors, Les Tremayne, who played an Army general in the movie, and Ann happily obliged.

When I was in college, I enjoyed listening to CBS Radio Mystery Theater. On AM radio, the new productions provided a real feeling of the Old-Time Radio experience from before it was old. In 1975 the unmistakable voice of Les Tremayne was heard in “The Ides of March.” The radio play was later adapted into a Sandra Bullock vehicle, The Premonition.
