Don't have time for a full, hour-long drama? Well, try "Guest Star", a quarter-hour public Treasury Department service program promoting US Savings Bonds. This long-running series usually featured musical performances, but many consisted of comedy or drama, such as program 272 in the series, distributed for broadcast June 8, 1952.
Harry Sosnik and the Savings Bond Orchestra start things off with a peppy arrangement "Dizzy Fingers". Then we hear the main feature, radio favorite and "Night Beat" star Frank Lovejoy in a short drama about a soldier in Korea called "Nothing Happens Here". The show was transferred from an original Allied Record vinyl transcription. Thanks again to Michael Utz for his donation of the disc to my collection.Version: 20240320
