Magic Island

Volume 2

"Golly whiskers!"

Wealthy widow Patricia Gregory is the lone survivor of a South Pacific shipwreck that purportedly claimed the lives of her husband and her infant daughter Joan, one-year-old at the time. But Patricia is convinced that Joan didn't perish in the shipwreck and has spent the past fourteen years searching for her lost child. During that time, Ms. Gregory has been approached by many individuals claiming knowledge of Joan's whereabouts (there's a hefty reward being offered) but any and all leads have failed to materialize.

One night, Patricia's right-hand man Captain Tex Bradford, encounters young Jerry Hall, who relays to Gregory an incident where he intercepted a broadcast on his shortwave radio. A dying sailor has revealed the existence of an uncharted South Seas island, Euclidia, with one of its inhabitants, a fifteen-year-old girl who could be the missing Joan Gregory. Patricia, Tex, and Jerry (who insists on tagging along as a stowaway) soon set sail for Magic Island, an entertaining science-fiction radio serial serving up adventure and mystery over the course of 130 episodes.

Perry (Percy C.) Crandall had a lucrative career in the 1930s as a continuity writer for KNX in Hollywood, after spending the previous decade working in several stock companies. Among his radio productions were The Misadventures of Si and Elmer, a comic serial featuring a pair of "hayseed gumshoes" newly graduated from detective school. Magic Island was first heard over KNX in 1935, and when Crandall landed a job with Hollywood's Atlas Radio Corporation in 1937 he offered his Magic Island series as a transcribed serial, syndicated over 130 episodes. Crandall's participation with Magic Island extended to his additional duties as the program's announcer and performer in the cast; sadly, he would succumb to pneumonia in January of 1939 just as Magic Island was building an audience.

The cast of Magic Island includes Sally Creighton as Patricia Gregory and Rosa Barcelo as her daughter Joan, supported by such performers as Tommy Carr and OTR veteran William Johnstone.

There's fantasy and adventure in store for you as the Gregory women are joyfully reunited and the team matches wits with the mysterious "G-47," ruler of Euclidia...better known as Magic Island!

All 130 episodes of this exciting fifteen minute, syndicated radio serial from 1937 have survived, thanks to the Library of Congress. The first 60 episodes are included in Volume 1 and the radio serial continues in Volume 2.
