The Cowboy and the Lady” comes to us from the golden age of Hollywood and radio drama, originally adapted for the Screen Guild Theater—a series known for bringing popular motion pictures to the airwaves with many of the era’s brightest stars.
Broadcast on April 20, 1950, this production featured Ginger Rogers and MacDonald Carey in a lighthearted tale of romance between high society and the open range—where mistaken identity, quick wit, and matters of the heart take center stage.
Like many programs of its time, it was presented with the support of a commercial sponsor and performed before a live audience, capturing the charm, immediacy, and energy that defined radio’s golden era.
Tonight, the Repertoire Radio Theatre is pleased to bring you this classic story once more.
This Repertoire Radio Theatre production features the vocal talents of Pamela Austin as Mary Smith, Jim Heffernan as Stretch, Kimberly Albrecht as Elly, and Michael Troop as the Judge, Shorty and the carpenter. This audio file was recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Troop.
