A Great Series

Reviewer:
Richard Stone
Thank you for making the MGM Theatre of the Air available. I have always considered it a great series -- "Anna Karenina" and "The Citadel" are two of the best radio shows I've ever heard. I'm looking forward to the whole set and cannot wait to hear Basil Rathbone and Lili Palmer in "Queen Christina".

More Stars than there are in the Heavens...
May 20, 2022
Reviewer:
Richard McLeod from RIVERSIDE, CA United States
MGM in the Golden Age of Movies parallels the Golden Age of Radio, and was considered the Queen of the Studios in Hollywood. In this set, the Stars acted out the roles of MGM films not always with the same Stars that had been in the movie. One example is in hearing Marlene Dietrich play Anna Karenina, the part Garbo had played in the MGM film. It is interesting to hear the different interpretations of the same story, only here for Radio.
Howard Dietz is the Host and Ed Stokes the Announcer, and both are exceptional, which is probably why both were chosen instead of MGM Chief Louis B. Mayer. Cecil B. DeMille could well hosted the LUX Radio Theater with style and distinction, unfortunately talents that were not inherent with Mr. Mayer. Louis B. Mayer was responsible for the status MGM had through his business acumen, but, it would have certainly been interesting to have heard Mr. Mayer actually speak and Host these Radio Programs.
