# On Stage

Networks named by its archives: CBS. Heard 1953–1954. 45 episodes.

ON STAGE On Stage appeared on CBS from 1 January 1953 until 30 September 1954, a total of 78 episodes. Only 41 of the 78 shows are in circulation today. The show was produced and directed by Elliot Lewis and starred the husband and wife team of Elliot and Cathy Lewis. The idea for the show came about when someone suggested they work together in the 40's. CBS gave them the go ahead for the show in 1952 and they formed the production company Haven Radio Productions. Each show was written with a strong male and female part. Both were at the pinnacle of their careers. At the time Elliot was playing as Frankie Remley on The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show, producing, directing and starring in Suspense, and Broadway's My Beat. Cathy Lewis was starring in My Friend Irma on both radio and television. However, the Golden Age of Radio was coming to an end. The big money was shifting over to television. This would be one of last good series on radio. From the Old Time Radio Researchers Group. See "Notes" Section below for more information on the OTRR.

A set by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group (otrr.org), at the Internet Archive's Old Time Radio collection.

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
