Radio broadcasting was the cheapest form of entertainment, and it provided the public with far better entertainment than most people were accustomed to. As a result, its popularity grew rapidly in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and by 1934, 60 percent of the nation's households had radios.

Screen Guild Theater

Broadcast History: 8 January 1939 to 29 June 1952

Screen Guild Theater began as a charity with the stars that appeared on the show donating their wages from it to Motion Picture Relief Fund. All in all the stars raised more than $800,000 to help build the Motion Picture Country House.

This facility was created and maintained to house retired film stars who were elderly or impoverished and needed a comfortable place to live. The mission of the show to raise money for fellow actors surely fueled the desire of Hollywood’s biggest stars to appear.
