Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - The Halls Of Ivy "The Chinese Student" (2-17-50)

Ronald Colman and his
wife Benita Hume starred in the Halls of Ivy, a very
well-written, superbly acted radio program that was full of warmth and wit. The
show aired from 1950 to 1952 on NBC and is not often mentioned when old-time
radio programs are the topic of conversation, but it is one of my favorites.
The combination of Mr. & Mrs. Colman's acting and Don Quinn's writing made
for an enjoyable half-hour's worth of entertainment. The show was created by
Don Quinn who for many, many years put words in the mouths of Fibber McGee and
Molly. Quinn wrote jokes that made you think. On the McGee program there was a
fast and furious onslaught of crazy puns, mangled cliches, and double-meanings.
Sometimes all at once -- when delivered by the superb timing of the talented
Jim Jordan as Fibber.
