This is the Relic Radio Show.

Old Time Radio Entertainment still standing the test of time from RelicRadio.com.

Welcome back to the Relic Radio show back this Tuesday with another 60 minutes of radio

drama from the Golden Age of Radio.

Our first story comes from Theater Royal.

We'll hear Orson Wells in the Queen of Spades, their first episode from October 4th,

1953.

After that, it's the Silver Theater,

and Stronger Than Steel. That story aired October 2, 1938.

The National Broadcasting Company presents Sir Lawrence Olivier, your host in Theatre Royal. Thearthur Royal.

The... This is Lawrence Olivia.

I'm speaking to you from the stage of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, in the heart of London's Theatreland.

This is one of London's oldest theatres, and it is appropriate that I should introduce the first of this new series of programmes from here.

I am at this time rehearsing a new play with my wife, Vivian Lee, and after a short tour, I shall be opening in London early next month.

Because of this, although I shall be introducing the program each week, I am for the first few of this new series inviting some of my own good friends of the theatre to join me and appear in

subjects of their own choice. My first guest is a very old friend of mine. A good few years

ago I had the pleasure of appearing as his guest on his own program from New York, and that is why it gives me a particular pleasure to return the compliment

and to reintroduce you this week to Orson Wells.

Orson has chosen a famous story by Alexander Pushkin, which you may know.

It is a tale of excitement and suspense which I think you like.

Here he is then. Orson Well.

In the role of Hermann in the Queen of Spade.
