Ep 227
Jul 10, 1939 · Ruggles of Red Gap
This program is announced as Charles Laughton's first dramatic radio appearance in America. That's not quite accurate. Three times previously Mr. Laughton appeared on NBC programs heard in America; however his portion of these programs originated from London. A proper British but…
