Where Have You Gone, Gordon McLendon, Lawrence & Lee, Rube Walker, and Broadway?
One of the champions of radio in 1951 was Gordon McLendon, creator of the Liberty Broadcasting System. Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee were part of the creation of the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS).
Lawrence and Lee became one of America’s great writing duos. Their work stands the test of time. If Gordon McLendon’s work has not lasted in the same way, he remains an inspiration for anyone enthralled by the spoken word.
The work of Rube Walker on the baseball diamond is even less well known today, but also memorable.
Lawrence and Lee, McLendon, and Walker all succeeded on, or near, Broadway. There are many Broadways and we will consider some of them on this episode of Where Have You Gone?
There are also stories about Margo Jones, Nedrick Young, Fielder Cook, and the Lux Radio (and Video) Theater.
