Radio Memories

THE HERMITS CAVE


CONTENTS:

     Originally produced from 1935 to the mid 1940's in Detroit, from WJR radio, it was widely syndicated on disc and was one of the early radio horror shows.  Olga Coal was the sponsor, and John Kent was heard as the hermit.  Three other actors were also heard playing the lead: Charles Penman, Toby Grimmer and Klock Ryder.  G.A. Richards owned WJR, and the following programs were produced at his West Coast facility, KMPC in Los Angeles, and syndicated from 1940 to 1944.  These were produced by Bill Forman and William Conrad, both would later rise to greater fame.  Mel Johnson is the voice of The Hermit until 1943 when the lead was taken over by John Dehner.
