Written by amiable Playwright Clifford Goldsmith, featuring 21 -year-old, crack-voiced prodigy Ezra Stone, The Aldrich Family will continue to relate the trials & tribulations of adolescent Henry Aldrich, who first turned up in Manhattan in 1937 in the George Abbott comedy What a Life. Besides The Aldrich Family, radio's summer substitute fare (on Eastern Daylight Saving Time) will include: >Abbott & Costello, oldtime vaudevillians, who will split with Mr. District Attorney...
