Philip Morris Playhouse

In this podcast, we're going to the playhouse. Philip Morris Playhouse was a 30-minute dramatic anthology series, that usually involved crime, and was broadcast on CBS radio between 1939 and 1949. It was sponsored by the Philip Morris cigarette company, which reportedly spent $1 million dollars a year on this highly produced program. It had different stars performing each week without a regular cast. In 1953 it premiered as a live television show on CBS-TV but only lasted a few months. You will hear two episodes of Philip Morris Playhouse, The Apology, and Four Hours to Kill, both from 1949. More at http://krobcollection.com
