Claudia and David

[Robert]

.

Claudia and David was a drama based on the Redbook magazine stories by Rose Franken and William Brown Meloney. It began as a skit on the Kate Smith Hour June 6, 1941, a month before becoming a full summer series. Claudia was played by Patricia Ryan and David was played by Richard Kollmar.

Claudia was still in her teens when she fell in love with David; much of the conflict derived from the possessiveness of her mother, with the "everyday drama" focusing on counting pennies, balancing checkbooks and repairing items around the house. The skits on the Smith show developed the romance; the couple would actually wed at "City Hall" in the second regular episode, July 11.

A syndication attempt in 1947-48 sponsored by Coca Cola starred Kathryn Bard as Claudia, and Paul Crabtree as David.

Downloading is impossible, as well. God, this is starting to make me angry. What's wrong with some people, that they just can't let us do our thing? I'll stop ranting now. Is everything OK where you are, btw? I know there were some deaths in NC. I don't know how TN fared from the storms. Stay well.

Hi, Robert. I tried to listen to this, but got a message that the server (at archive, I think) couldn't be found. It looks really cute. I guess I'll have to download it. I really like Dorothy McGuire, btw. She was great as the bookstore girl in "The BIg Sleep." Thanks for everything!
