HERE'S SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR "THE DAMON RUNYON THEATER": Damon Runyon (October 4, 1884 – December 10, 1946) was a newspaperman and writer. He was best known for his short stories celebrating the world of Broadway in New York City that grew out of the Prohibition era. He spun humorous tales of gamblers, hustlers, actors, and gangsters; few of whom go by "square" names, preferring instead to be known as "Nathan Detroit," "Big Jule," "Harry the Horse," "Good Time Charley," "Dave the Dude," and so on. These stories were written in a very distinctive vernacular style: a mixture of formal speech and colorful slang, almost always in present tense, and always devoid of contractions. In 1948, his stories were adapted for radio... from "The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio" by John Dunning: In an era when radio emphasis was on Hollywood stars in film adaptations, "The Damon Runyon Theater" was like a cool breeze. The series had charm: the guys were guys, the dolls were dolls, and a gun was a roscoe. "Runyon mobsters are naive, easily hurt, and endowed with hearts of gold and the childlike whimsies of Margaret O'Brien," wrote "Radio Life." The range was broad, from comedy to tragedy. The central character, known only as "Broadway", led his listeners, in a thick, present-tense, vernacular, through a world of thugs and touts, dames and palookas. Broadway's New York had a crisis each week, though the streets had a rose-tinged aura. The sad shows then were all the sadder: plays like "For a Pal" had a special poignance. The bulk of Runyon's work had been untapped by radio, and the well was deep.
