The Redhead (Aired December 27, 1947)
Dependable, level-headed Jane Stacy (Cathy Lewis, Diana Lynn) began each weekly radio program by narrating a misadventure of her innocent, bewildered roommate, Irma, a dim-bulb stenographer from Minnesota. The two central characters were in their mid-twenties. Irma had her 25th birthday in one episode; she was born on May 5. After the two met in the first episode, they lived together in an apartment rented from their Irish landlady, Mrs. O'Reilly (Jane Morgan, Gloria Gordon). Irma's boyfriend Al (John Brown) was a deadbeat, barely on the right side of the law, who had not held a job in years. Only someone like Irma could love Al, whose nickname for Irma was "Chicken". Al had many crazy get-rich-quick schemes, which never worked. Al planned to marry Irma at some future date so she could support him. THIS EPISODE: December 27, 1947. "The Redhead" - CBS network. Sponsored by: Ennds, Eye-Gene. Jane finds her boyfriend Richard is possibly cheating on her with his new secretary. She decides to quit her position. Irma tries to help. Carl Caruso (announcer), Cathy Lewis, Cy Howard (writer, producer, director), Hans Conried, Leif Erickson, Lud Gluskin, Marie Wilson, Parke Levy (writer), Pat Burton (associate producer), Sara Berner, Stanley Adams (writer). 29:06.
