Quiet, Please presents “Nothing Behind the Door,” episode 1 of Quiet, Please, originally broadcast on June 8, 1947. This local archival recording preserves the series premiere, written and directed by Wyllis Cooper for the Mutual Broadcasting System.Ross recalls a trip to Mount Wilson Observatory with two Cleveland associates, where a fenced-off corrugated-iron building, a locked door, and an astronomer’s unsettling insistence that it contains “nothing” spark their curiosity. Ernest Chappell stars as Ross, alongside Morton Thompson, Pat O’Malley, and James Van Dyk.Quiet, Please presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.Chapters:00:00 Victor Sterling Introduction00:47 Original Broadcast29:54 ClosingSupport Old Time Retro Radio at https://www.patreon.com/oldtimeretroradio
