Lux Radio Theatre | The Front Page (Walter Winchell, James Gleason) | Broadcast: June 28, 1937

Note: A planned interview with Amelia Earhart was postponed to the next week due to a delay in her soon-to-be doomed attempt of an around-the-world flight.

The well-known comedy about the newspaper game and the escaped killer hiding in the roll-top desk. Amelia Earhart's appearance is announced as being postponed. The final half minute has been deleted from the closing, the story is unaffected. The female lead was scheduled to be Joan Bennett, but she could not appear due to illness and Josephine Hutchinson was substituted. . + We take up the story in a newspaper office in the City of Chicago. Walter Burns the managing editor played by James Gleason, is shouting down the phone to one of his staff. He tells him to find Hilde Johnson his ace reporter and tell him that he has to cover the hanging of Earl Williams at Cook County Jail the following morning. But the guy on the other end keeps telling Burns that Johnson has gone on his honeymoon.
