	The Campbell Playhouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Campbell Playhouse was a sponsored continuation of the Mercury Theater on the Air, a direct result of the instant publicity from the War of the Worlds panic.
		In spite of using the same creative staff, the show had a different flavor under sponsorship, partially attributed to a guest star policy in place, which relegated the rest of the Mercury Players to supporting cast for Orson Welles and the Hollywood guest of the week.
		Campbell Playhouse was also the title of a television series aired on NBC between 1952 and 1954 as a replacement for The Aldrich Family.

	A Christmas Carol
		Lionel Barrymore's first playing of the part of Ebenezer Scrooge for the Campbell Playhouse, there is, I think, in all America nothing more eagerly awaited, more firmly rooted in the hearts of the radio family that numbers millions than this yearly performance of "A Christmas Carol." (MUSIC...
		UNDER) ERNEST CHAPPELL: You are listening to the Campbell Playhouse, bringing you tonight the fifth annual presentation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," produced by Orson Welles and starring Lionel Barrymore as Scrooge.
		To introduce tonight's guest to the Campbell Playhouse audience, or to any American audience, is an extravagant and superfluous procedure -- for if ever an actor has won for himself a lasting place in the hearts of his fellow countrymen through years of unsparing and inspiring service, that actor is Lionel Barrymore.

		"Everybody likes a good story," he said when "Campbell Playhouse" began, "and I think radio is just about the best storyteller there is." Thomson sees an ideal match of this man and this medium: "[H]e loved to float away on his magic carpet of a voice into adventure, romance and flat-out nonsense.
		Victor Hugo’s famous set pieces — the Bishop’s Chris-tian grace, the trial that sends Valjean back to prison, his haggling with the inn-keeper to win Cosette’s freedom, the final confrontation with Javert and his last words to his adopted daughter — all are realized with an enthralling depth and immediacy.
		Before the sponsor agreed to move "Campbell Playhouse" from New York to Los Angeles, where Welles was preparing his first Hollywood film, he pulled a weekly transcontinental commute — logging, according to one account, an amazing 311,245 air miles and earning a frequent flyer award as TWA’s best customer of 1939.
