Saturday Matinee - The Phil Harris Alice Fay Show, Gildersleeve, Goodbye My Fancy (Barbara Stanwyck)

Join us this Saturday on Vintage Classic Radio for another exciting "Saturday Matinee" packed with three classic radio shows. We start with "The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show" and the episode called “Keeping Regular Office Hours." Airing back on September 25, 1949, this funny episode shows Phil Harris trying to stick to a regular work schedule after his sponsor tells him he must, leading to lots of laughs. You'll hear Phil Harris playing himself, Alice Faye as his wife, along with other characters like Frankie Remley, Julius, and Willie played by Elliott Lewis, Walter Tetley, and Robert North respectively. Next, we switch to "The Great Gildersleeve" for the episode titled "Fortune Teller," which first aired on March 1, 1942. In this episode, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, who's usually skeptical, visits a fortune teller and gets surprised when her predictions start coming true, causing all sorts of funny mix-ups. The episode features Harold Peary as Gildersleeve, with Lillian Randolph, Walter Tetley, and Louise Erickson playing the roles of Birdie, Leroy, and Marjorie. We wrap up with "Lux Radio Theatre" and the episode "Goodbye My Fancy" from January 14, 1952. This episode tells the story of Agatha Reed, played by Barbara Stanwyck, a congresswoman who goes back to her old college to get an honorary degree and ends up dealing with past love and current challenges. Robert Young plays her old flame, Professor James Merrill. Make sure to tune in for a mix of laughter, mystery, and drama as we bring these timeless stories back to life. It's a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon enjoying the unique charm and wit of these classic shows.
