Fred Allen is a name unfamiliar to most people today, but for two decades his radio show set the standard for the best of American humor. His comedy and satirical influence can be seen in everything from Looney Tunes to Saturday Night Live. Robert L. Mills, comedy writer for Bob Hope, has crafted a "new" Fred Allen show for Project Audion which successfully recalls the time Allen had the #1 program on the airwaves (in the late 1940s). We'll visit "Allen's Alley" with Senator Claghorn, Mrs. Nussbaum, and others; take on "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" in a movie parody, and welcome guest stars Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, thanks to a coast-to-coast cast of sterling vocal talent which includes: FRED ALLEN: John Bell, AL MOODY / CASSIDY / BANDITO: Pete Lutz, TX PORTLAND / MRS. NUSSBAUM: Julie Hoverson, WA KENNY DELMAR: Ken Jeffries, CA CLAGHORN / GRIZZY: Harry Middlebrooks, CA EDGAR BERGEN: Robert L. Mills., CA CHARLIE MCCARTHY: Scott McKinley, NJ with Direction & Production by Larry Groebe, TX
