This week, I'm starting a run of three episodes of the soap opera "Rosemary". This show might not sound that interesting, but, trust me - we're leading up to a really fun little episode of this series in a couple of weeks and this will set up the story for you. "Rosemary" was broadcast first on NBC and then on CBS from 1945 to 1955. The show was created by Elaine Carrington, who also gave us "Pepper Young's Family". The story centers on Rosemary Dawson, a young secretary that works to support her mother and younger sister.
A major storyline in the series was Rosemary's marriage to Bill Roberts. Bill has a slight problem - he's a War vet and has amnesia. So, as you're probably guessing Bill forgot that he was married to another woman. This series of three episodes comes from right in the middle of the story and gives us an interesting peek into how things developed.
In this first post, we hear the program of July 22, 1946 broadcast on CBS. Rosemary and her friend Brad, an artist, have arrived in New York by train. They stop for lunch before Mary boards the train for Meadville. Rosemary is looking for the woman in New York who may have been married to Bill. Will Rosemary find this other woman? Will Rosemary see how her artist friend is coming on to her? The program was sponsored by Ivory Snow and includes a commercial for saving used kitchen fat.
The show was transferred from original line check KNX-CBS Radio Recorders lacquer transcription.
Next week, we learn what happens to your job when you go galloping across the country in search of your husband's ex-wife.
By the way - I was going to link to something about the sponsor, but they discontinued manufacturing Ivory Snow Flakes a few years back. They just sell that liquid and powder stuff now.
