July 4th in a Radio Car - Calling All Cars

4 years ago

Fireworks are being exploded within the city limits. The announcer twice mentions that this is "broadcast #35." A holiday spent by radio in a police car. "A slice of actual life." The above date is accurate (the program is about the fourth of July holiday).

The program number is possibly #32, despite what the announcer says, unless there is a three week error in the relationship of the program numbers and dates. After the drama, Mr. Lindsley announces that "there were thirty-four characters (in the radio drama)...played by twelve people," and unlike other programs, names them all. 4th July 1934 A Scene From A Police Radio Car is a broadcast of true incidents which all occurred on the 4th July.

Originally Broadcast July 4, 1934
