Background
"A Radio Christmas Carol" is a re-imagined radio adaptation of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. First published in December 1843 and never out of print since, Dickens's novel is no doubt familiar. Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser cold of heart and spirit, is tranformed by Ghosts of Christmas into a kind, generous, and compassionate man. He gives Bob Cratchit a raise and becomes a second father to Tiny Tim. The point: humanity outweighs riches, and brings redemption.

A Radio Christmas Sampler Vol. III
Our community holiday tradition continues
18 December 2023
Season 10, Episode 12R
Continuing this popular idea from the last two years, Re-Imagined Radio offers "A Radio Christmas Sampler Vol. III." We sample from "Christmas Dragnet," a comedy record by Stan Freberg, and three radio programs, "The Stockings Were Hung," from The Shadow, December 24, 1939; "Christmas Gift," from The Whistler, December 23, 1951; and "Christmas Story," from Gunsmoke, December 20, 1952, to welcome the holidays and share some cheer.

Background
As with previous iterations of our "Radio Christmas Sampler," we offer unexpected Christmas episodes from vintage radio programs. For 2023, we offer samples from a record by Stan Freberg, and three radio programs. The first begins with a laugh. The second with a whistle. The third, with a gunshot.
Christmas Dragnet
A 1953 record parody of the popular Dragnet television and radio program, by Stan Freberg and Daws Butler. Freberg was a radio and television comedian who satirized and parodied popular songs. Daws was the voice of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, and many other cartoon characters. Freberg (1926-2015) and Butler first collaborated on St. George and the Dragonet, a short comedy 45 rpm record single (Capitol F2596, September 21, 1953). It quickly sold over a million copies, the first comedy record ever to do so.
Their second collaboration, Christmas Dragnet, again focused on Dragnet. Freberg voiced Joe Wednesday, a take-off on the Detective Sergeant Joe Friday character, played by Jack Web. Daws voiced Frank Jones, Grudge, and the elf.
Webb created Dragnet as a police procedural radio series in 1949, producing and starring as Joe Friday in each episode until the series ended in 1957. He adapted Dragnet for television in 1952. A fan of Freberg, he gave his full approval for this parody, even coached Freberg on the dead-pan subtleties of his Dragnet character. Webb also lent the Dragnet Orchestra, conducted by Nathan Scott, who performed music arranged by Walter Schumann. Written by Freberg and Butler, the recording was released by Capital Records as a 45 rpm record single (Capitol F2671, November 30, 1953). In 1954, the title was changed to Yulenet (45 rpm single, Capitol F2986, November 22, 1954). SEE Christmas Dragnet—Stan Freberg w/Daws Butler & Orchestra for more information.
Freberg, a recording artist, voice actor, and radio and television personality, made a name, and career, for himself starting in Alhambra High School, in 1943, as a voice actor for radio shows hosted by Cliffie Stone, and heard on several radio stations in Southern California. Stone, professional name for Clifford Gilpin Snyder, was a country music singer, musician, record producer, music publisher, and radio and television personality following World War II. He was instrumental in establishing Southern California's thriving country music scene. After graduating from high school in 1944, Freberg launched a career that garnered numerous appearances, credits, and awards in cartoons, film, radio, television, and advertising over the next seventy years.
Of special note is "Stretching the Imagination," the fourth of a six-part series promoting radio created for the Station Representatives Association in 1965. "Stretching the Imagination," narrated by noted radio voice actor Paul Frees, who starred in the 1949 Green Lama radio series, features a 700-foot tall mountain of whipped cream sliding into Lake Michigan, which has been drained of water and refilled with hot chocolate. A 10-ton cherry is dropped atop the whipped cream to the cheers of 25,000 extras. Let's listen . . .
The vocal skit was reused in "Anybody Here Remember Radio?" as part of Freberg's 1966 record album, Freberg Underground! Show No. 1 (Capitol Records T 2551; Side B, Track 2, 4:25).
The six messages, collectively entitled Who Listens to Radio?, included musical bridges with vocals by Sarah Vaughn, and music arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones. The first message featured Byron Kane, the second Naomi Lewis, the third Peter Leeds, the fourth Paul Frees, and the fifth Jesse White. The sixth was a repeat of the Vaughn and Jones musical arrangement.
The Shadow
"The Stockings Were Hung"
December 24, 1939, Episode #179
Cast
Bill Johnstone as The Shadow and Lamont Cranston
Marjorie Anderson as Margo Lane
In this episode, Lamont Cranston/The Shadow and Margo Lane, work to reunite the Grover family, return their stolen family business, and assure them a fine Christmas. Margo receives a puppy from Lamont, and a helpful cab driver.
Episodes of The Shadow begin with a filtered voice, a cackling, electric laugh, and a chilling organ rendition of Camille Saint-Saëns 1872 classical composition "Omphale's Spinning Wheel."
The Shadow, as a concept, voice, and character was originally developed to boost sales of the monthly Detective Story Magazine, published by Street & Smith, a New York City publisher of comic books and inexpensive paperbacks and magazines called dime novels and pulp fiction.
Beginning July 31, 1930, a character known only as "The Shadow" was heard on the CBS radio program Detective Story Hour, narrating tales of mystery and suspense.
When radio listeners asked for a magazine about The Shadow, Street & Smith hired Walter B. Gibson to write a story to match the radio name and voice. The first issue of The Shadow Magazine went on sale April 1, 1931.
Following Detective Story Hour, "The Shadow" radio persona hosted parts of the Blue Coal Revue and appeared in advertisements for The Shadow Magazine in Love Story Hour episodes.
The Shadow disappeared from radio in March 1935, due to Street & Smith's instance that a new series be developed around the master crime-fighter character appearing in stories and novels by Walter Gibson.
Thus began The Shadow radio series, heard on the Mutual radio network, 677 episodes, from September 1937 to December 1954. Orson Welles, then 22-years-old, starred as The Shadow until his career went global after the broadcast of "The War of the Worlds," October 30, 1938.
The Whistler
"Christmas Gift"
December 23, 1951, Episode #499
In this episode a woman, working as a singer in restaurants and bars, tries to escape a murder in which she was not involved. Found by a detective, she tells her story. The detective says he was not sent to arrest her, but rather to tell her the fiance she left behind still loves her and wishes her to return. A happy Christmas ending.

Gunsmoke
"Christmas Story"
December 20, 1952, Episode #35
In this episode, US Marshall Matt Dillon, loses his horse returning to Dodge City on Christmas Eve. He meets Amos Colley, a lonely drifter. They talk about Christmas. Mr. Colley asks if he can accompany Matt Dillion back to Dodge City, meet his friends, and settle there. Merry Christmas.
Gunsmoke is one of the longest running radio dramas and arguably, radio's last great dramatic series. The praise it has earned is well deserved. The writing and acting are superb. The sound effects and background soundscapes are subtle, realistic, and immersive. The music theme, "Old Trails," aka "Boothill," composed and conducted by Rex Koury, is iconic. LISTEN to our tribute to William Conrad and his great radio voice. We sample from "The Aboninable Snowman" (from Escape, September 13, 1953) and "Bloody Hands" (from Gunsmoke, April 2, 1955)

"Duel in the Snow, or Red Ryder Nails The Cleveland Kid"
Jean Shepherd
WOR Radio, New York
24 Dec. 1970
Jean Shepherd, American storyteller and radio and television personality, first published this story in Playboy magazine, 1964. He reminices about growing up in Depression-era small town Indiana and Cleveland, Ohio, and how he wanted a Red Ryder Carbine Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle for Christmas. He used this and other stories from his two semi-autobiographical books, In God We Trust, All Others Must Pay Cash (Doubleday, 1966) and Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories (Doubleday, 1971), to write the screenplay for A Christmas Story (1983). All the stories he used for the movie were collected in the book A Christmas Story (Crown, 2003). Shepherd is cited by some as the creator of free-form talk radio, an inspiration for Garrison Keillor, and is noted for his nightly extemporaneous monologues often based on childhood memories. See "Wannabe Inkling" for more about Shepherd.
"Back for Christmas"
Suspense
23 Dec. 1943
Starring Peter Lorre
Suspense was a radio drama series offered by the Columbia Broadcasting System from 1940 to 1962. Subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills," Suspense was all about drama and suspense, and during the early years often featured leading Hollywood actors.
One was Peter Lorre. Born Lazlo Lowenstein (1904) in Hungry, Lorre began his acting career in Vienna. He moved to Berlin, where he appeared as a serial killer in M a 1931 film directed by Fritz Lang, famous for the 1927 German expressionist science-fiction drama film Metropolitan.
When the Nazis took over Germany in 1933, Lorre sought refuge in Paris, and then London. There, in 1934, he appeared in the Alfred Hitchcock film, The Man Who Knew Too Much. After that, Lorre settled in Hollywood, where he found featured roles in crime, mystery, and detective movies. Perhaps the two most notable of Lorre's Hollywood films were The Maltese Falcon in 1941, and Casablanca in 1942.
Lorre's distinctive voice was also heard on radio. In fact, more people might know Peter Lorre for his radio appearances than his films. Between 1936 and 1964, he made 143 radio appearances including comedy programs, radio drama, and popular genre programs. In the same period he appeared in only 68 films.
For this episode of Re-Imagined Radio we sample "Back for Christmas," the 23 Dec. 1943 episode of Suspense. "Back for Christmas" was produced and directed by William Spier (SPEER) from the original short story by John Collier, first published in The New Yorker magazine, 7 October 1939.
Lorre voices the part of Hubert Schumacher, a henpecked British botany professor. He and his wife, Hermione, plan a end-of-year trip to America where he will give a series of lectures. Hermionie tells friends they will be back for Christmas. But Lorre has another plan for his wife: murder, and then an extended stay in America with his new wife, the young, adoring Miss Markham. But, his perfect plans unravel in fiendish ways.
"Britt Ponset’s Christmas Carol"
The Six Shooter
20 Dec. 1953, episode 14
Starring Jimmy Stewart
From the introduction . . . "The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-died brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother of pearl, its handle unmarked. People call them both "The Six Shooter." His real name is Britt Ponset, the Texas plainsman who wandered through the Western territories leaving behind a trail of still remembered legends."
Created by Frank Burt, who wrote many of the episodes including this one, The Six Shooter lasted only one season, 39 episodes, September 20, 1953 – June 24, 1954. Episodes ranged from Western drama to comedy. Each episode starred Hollywood movie star Jimmy Stewart as Britt Ponset, a wandering cowboy in the last days of the American West.
Stewart's distinctive drawl and everyman persona were featured in 80 files from 1935-1991. His breakthrough came in 1938 with a part in Frank Capra's comedy You Can't Take It With You. In 1939, working again with Frank Capra, Jimmy Stewart played a virtuous man who becomes a United States Senator in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his 1940 performance in The Philadelphia Story with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant.
Then there was It's a Wonderful Life, also in 1940, working again with Frank Capra. Based loosely on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, It's a Wonderful Life became Stewart's defining film role and a Christmas classic.
In these films, Stewart played characters with a strong sense of morality, a characteristic he exhibited in his personal life as well. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors.
Jimmy Stewart is also noted for his radio acting. He appeared several times on the Lux Radio Theatre reprising his movie roles for radio. The Six Shooter was Jimmy Stewart's only recurring leading role in radio, and remains one of the best examples of the adult western genre. The term "adult western" speaks to combining contemporary psychological themes and traditional Western motifs to examine the deeper character motivations and to inform the plot. Both Gunsmoke and The Six Shooter are excellent examples.

Background
A scene with Scrooge begins "A Radio Christmas Sampler." Jeffrey Puukka voices Scrooge. Another scene with Tiny Tim closes the episode. Greg Shilling voices Tiny Tim. Both are sampled from the 2020 Re-Imagined Radio broadcast of "A Radio Christmas Carol" with Metropolitan Performing Arts.
Selections from "Vic’s Christmas Card List," from the radio series Vic and Sade, created and written by Paul Rhymer and broadcast five days a week from 1932-1944, feature Rhymer’s unique comedic style and outrageous character names. In this sample from a December 1939 episode, Victor Gook, a bookkeeper for Plant 14 of the Consolidated Kitchenware Company, Sade, his homebody wife, and Rush, their adopted son discuss why Vic has to send Christmas cards to people he rarely, if ever, meets.
Our sampling of "Dancing Dan’s Christmas," speaks to how, at Christmas, we may chart a new course for our lives. It’s from the March 13, 1949 episode of The Damon Runyon Theatre, a year long series featuring dramatizations of stories by the author Damon Runyon set against the backdrop of New York City. John Brown narrates as Broadway, a small time criminal with a heart of gold. His story has warmth and appeal.
"Decorating the Christmas Tree," proves a shocking experience for Jack Benny, host of the 23 December 1951 Christmas episode of The Jack Benny Program.
"Department Store Santa" samples a performance by Frank Sinatra, the singer and musical artist from the 22 December 1953 episode of his little-known radio series, Rocky Fortune. Sinatra plays Rocky Fortune, a footloose young gentleman who accepts odd jobs. Here he is a part-time Santa Claus in a downtown department store. Sinatra is street wise and hep talkin’ but he’s just the man to deal with the robberies and help out a young girl who wants a particular Christmas gift, and her older, attractive sister.
"Korean Christmas Carol" considers, from a paranormal perspective, being away from family and friends at Christmas, in our sample from the 20 December 1959 episode of Suspense. Bill Lipton narrates.
"A Radio Christmas Sampler" closes with a joyful rendition of "Jingle Bells" by Bing Crosby and others sampled from the 12 December 1944 episode of Bing Crosby and The Kraft Music Hall.
Metropolitan Performing Arts, of Vancouver, WA, provide Christmas songs throughout.
