Description
The Queen Of Space (Aired November 15, 1952) The success of the TV show spawned a radio version, which ran for 129 episodes from October 1952 to March 1955. The same cast of actors performed on both shows. The writers, scripts, adventures and director were quite different in radio versus TV incarnations. Naturally, the series lacked the adult sophistication of such shows as X Minus One, which focused on adapting short fiction by notable genre names as Robert A. Heinlein and Ray Bradbury. But as a throwback to the sort of Golden Age space opera popularized in the 1930s, the days of science fiction's infancy, by pioneering magazine editor Hugo Gernsback, Space Patrol is prized by OTR collectors today as one of radio's most enjoyable adventures. THIS EPISODE: November 15, 1952. ABC network. "The Queen Of Space". Sponsored by: Ralston Cereals (Space-O-Phone premium). Jelna Fenton is the owner of Trans-Orbit Lines, a freight line to the outer planets, with big plans! Ed Kemmer, Lyn Osborn, Nina Bara, Virginia Hewitt, Norman Jolley, Mike Mosser (producer), Larry Robertson (director), Lou Houston (writer), Dick Tufeld (announcer). 29:16.
