BACKSTAGE WIFE

CONTENTS:

     Starting out as a local radio production of WGN in Chicago, Backstage Wife is the story of Mary Noble, a small Iowa girl who came to the big city for her future.  So identified is the characters name with this series, many today remember its title as Mary Noble, Backstage Wife, which of course is not the case.  Mutual acquired this series and aired it from 08/05/35 to 03/27/36 before it moved to NBC (03/30/36 - 07/01/55) and finally landing on the CBS network from 07/04/55 until its last broadcast on 01/02/59.  Vivian Fridell (1935 - to the early 1940's), and Claire Niesen (to the end) played Mary Noble.  Mary's husband, Larry Noble was played first by Ken Griffin and then James Meighan and finally Guy Sorel.
