Today, we serve up a bite-sized portion of Welles' early work with the Mercury Theater, focusing on a unique episode from August 8, 1938 in which the cast performed three shorter works instead of their typical hour-long epics, s. In this particular broadcast, Welles presents "I'm a Fool," a short story by Sherwood Anderson, which explores the timeless theme of youthful folly and the lengths one might go to impress a romantic interest. Set against the backdrop of a fall trotting and pacing meet in Sandusky, Ohio, the story captures the essence of human vulnerability and charm with Welles' masterful performance.
Join us as we reminisce about Cedar Point, a historical amusement park still in operation today, and enjoy Welles' portrayal of an Everyman character, a departure from his usual bold roles. This episode marks the conclusion of our current season, but fear not—The Old Time Radio Snack Wagon will return on February 15th with a fresh series of nostalgic radio treats.
