Escape
was radio's leading anthology series of high adventure, airing on CBS from July
7, 1947 to September 25, 1954. Since the program did not have a regular sponsor
like Suspense, it was subjected to frequent schedule shifts and lower
production budgets, although Richfield Oil signed on as a sponsor for five
months in 1950. Despite these problems, Escape enthralled many listeners during
its seven-year run. The series' well-remembered opening combined Mussorgsky's
Night on Bald Mountain with the introduction, intoned by Paul Frees and William
Conrad: âTired of the everyday routine? Ever dream of a life of romantic
adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you... Escape!â
