Old Gold Comedy Theater - The Magnificent Dope (March 11, 1945)

OLD GOLD COMEDY THEATER.....
Was an NBC anthology series that aired for the single 1944-1945 season. It was hosted by comedy star Harold Lloyd, of silent film fame, and featuring some of the biggest names from film and radio. The series was intended as a lighter version of The Lux Radio Theater, featuring half hour shows that were cut down versions of successful comedy films. Despite Mr. Lloyd's best efforts, the presence of big name movie and radio stars and the selection of successful films for scripting, the series did not last, perhaps due to the half-hour format. However, in today's time period they are quiet entertaining. It was also known as, The Old Gold Comedy Theater, Harold Lloyd Comedy Theater and The Comedy Theater.
