Dear Folks ~
Please join us this Friday night at 11pm EST, on Yesterday USA's live show:

My late friend Arthur Anderson's last professional gig was as "Christmas Past" in our 2012 Quicksilver Radio Theater CHRISTMAS CAROL - but he first played the role with the Mercury Theatre in 1938!
I'm pleased to join Walden Hughes, John & Larry Gassman, and gang once again this Yuletide, and we'll hear the restored version of that classic show - along with my never-before-aired interview featuring Arthur's reminiscences about it.
Merriest,
- Craig
P.S. - Credits, from my book on the subject:
Prd., Dir.: Orson Welles. Wr.: Howard Koch. Mus.: Bernard Herrmann. Sound Effects: Ora Nichols. Cast: Narr. & Scrooge, Orson Welles (sub. for Lionel Barrymore); Nephew Fred, Joseph Cotten; Bob Cratchit, Hiram Sherman; Charity Gent, Ray Collins; Tiny Tim, Kingsley Colton; Belle’s Husband, Edgar Barrier; Ghost of Christmas Present, Eustace Wyatt; Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, Frank Readick; Marley’s Ghost, Alfred Shirley; Charwoman, Alice Frost; Ghost of Christmas Past, Arthur Anderson; Mr. Fezziwig, George Spelvin; Mrs. Cratchit, Brenda Forbes; Belle, Anna Stafford; Bill Herz (bit part, per radio historian William Nadel); Announcer, Earnest Chappell.
