Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - The Six Shooter "Britt Ponsets Christmas Carol" (12-20-53)

It's Christmas Time in the west and Britt comes across a young boy who
is running away from home. The boy's father had died the previous year
and his bitterness has turned him away from the season and it's
meaning. Britt, always the diplomat, tell's the boy a story that has a
familiar ring.


The Six Shooter, the only radio series staring James Stewart, aired
on September 20, 1953. In this radio western, Jimmy played Britt
Ponset, a man with a reputation for having a fast gun but is really
very different from the hard, tough talking gun slinger type. Here the
hero is a slow talking, thinking man who is ready with his gun, but
first looks for options to violence. James Stewart played this
character very well. Jimmy had appeared on many other radio shows
including the Hollywood Star Playhouse where the character of Britt
Ponset was introduced in an episode called "The Six Shooter". The same
script was used for the audition of THE SIX SHOOTER series, again with
Jimmy as Britt. The show aired between September 1953 and June 1954.
