À propos de cette écoute

 "The Damon Runyon Theater" was an American old-time radio program that aired from 1948 to 1949, bringing to life the short stories of Damon Runyon, a celebrated journalist and writer known for his unique prose style and engaging stories about the world of Broadway in New York City during the early 20th century. These stories often focused on the colorful characters of the New York underworld, including gamblers, hustlers, actors, and gangsters.

The show was known for its vivid characters and distinctive, slang-heavy dialogue that captured the vernacular of New York City's street life. The stories were humorous and often moralistic, with a gentle cynicism that was signature to Runyon's writing. Each episode was a standalone story, typically narrated by the character "Broadway," who was both a participant and an observer in the tales."The Damon Runyon Theater" successfully translated Runyon's literary style into a radio format, preserving the author's unique voice and the atmospheric charm of his setting. The program's adaptation allowed a wide audience to experience Runyon's work, which also includes famous stories that inspired the musical "Guys and Dolls." The radio series was popular among listeners who enjoyed the blend of comedy, drama, and the distinct flavor of early 20th-century New York street life.Public Domain Art Divertissement et arts du spectacle
