The Cisco Kid:
The Cisco Kid came to radio October 2,
1942, with Jackson Beck in the title role and Louis Sorin as
Pancho. Vicki Vola and Bryna Raeburn took supporting roles and
Michael Rye being the announcer. The series continued on Mutual
Broadcasting until 1945. It was thenfollowed by another Mutual
series in 1946, starring Jack Mather and Harry Lang, who
continued to head the cast in the syndicated.
Six
Shooter:
The Six Shooter
brought James Stewart to the NBC microphone on September
20, 1953, in a fine series of folksy Western adventures.
Stewart was never better on the air than in this drama
of Britt Ponset, frontier drifter created by Frank Burt.
The epigraph set it up nicely: "The man in the saddle is
angular and long-legged: his skin is sun dyed brown. The
gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow
mother-of-pearl. People call them both The Six Shooter."
Ponset was a wanderer, an easy-going gentleman and --
when he had to be -- a gunfighter.
Stewart was right in character as the slow-talking
maverick who usually blundered into other people's
troubles and sometimes shot his way out. His experiences
were broad, but The Six Shooter leaned more to comedy
than other shows of its kind. Ponset took time out to
play Hamlet with a crude road company. He ran for mayor
and sheriff of the same town at the same time. He became
involved in a delighful Western version of Cinderella,
complete with grouchy stepmother, ugly sisters, and a
shoe that didn't fit. And at Christmas he told a young
runaway the story of A Christmas Carol, Substituting the
original Dickens characters with Western heavies. Britt
even had time to fall in love, but it was the age-old
story of people from different worlds, and the romance
was foredoomed despite their valiant efforts to save it.
So we got a cowboy-into-the-sunset ending for this
series, truly one of the bright spots of radio.
Unfortunately, it came too late, and lasted only one
season.
It was a transcribed show, sustained by NBC and directed
by Jack Johnstone. Basil Adlam provided the music and
Frank Burt wrote the scripts. Hal Gibney announced.
