    About this audiobook

    Screen legend Harold Lloyd hosts Volume 1 of The Old Gold Comedy Theatre, a 1944/45 NBC anthology series featuring some of the top names in film and radio.

    Presenting half-hour versions of popular film comedies in much the same way that The Lux Radio Theater did with drama, this delightful and star-studded series was long considered a lost show until an almost complete set of recordings was found in Lloyd's basement - recordings that have now been restored to sparkling audio fidelity by Radio Archives.

    The result is five hours of sparkling entertainment in this first of a two volume collection.
