(40 Episodes) "Whispering Streets," which debuted on ABC Radio March 03, 1952 (and broadcasting from there, until 1960 was broadcast with a completely different format from the soap opera norm. "Whispering Streets" continuing drama was a once weekly, 30 minute romantic/ soap opera/drama that picked up each week, where it left off the previous week, rather than the 15 minute daily episodes which the public was accustomed to. The minor character of the week would narrate and leave you to wonder which minor character would be the major character the next week. The show had many famous narrators during the show run, such as: Cathy Lewis, Ann Seymour, Gertrude Warner, Hope Winslow and Bette Davis. Bette Davis was "Whispering Streets" most dramatic guest host. **RE Photo: Soap Operas of past (& present) were very much dependent on between-the-scenes music provided them, as is depicted by organist. * SOURCE: otrcat.com OTR * def gp ddh

From the Old Time Radio collection at the Internet Archive, uploaded by the collector named.

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.
