John Brown plays "Broadway" the narrator who tells the story of "A Nice Price" ... involving placing bets on which rowing team will when a competition that involves Harvard vs Yale. This is based on a short story by Damon Runyon. The vernacular is pure New York City Broadway... always an enjoyable show and John Brown (who played the Undertaker "Digger O'Dell" in the radio version of "The Life of Riley") is outstanding in his role as Broadway. This track and more like them live in "Damon Runyon" Playlist. The series was recorded for syndication in 1948 but many of the shows were aired in 1949 well into the mid-1950's.
