Frontier Gentleman

      This CBS radio western stars John Dehner as J.(eremy). B.(ryant) Kendall, Frontier Gentleman.  Kendall was a reporter for The London Times who wrote colorful accounts of his travels throughout the western United States.  An outstanding and very entertaining series.  This series was the last of the big network programs to air with the coming of the end of radio.  This is CBS western pro­gramming at its best.  The only other program that carries the same dramatic value would have to be GUNSMOKE.  Many of the CBS actors that we enjoy listening to are heard in this ser­ies, including John McIntire, Jeanette Nolan, Harry Bartell, Jack Moyles, Lawrence Dobkin, Stacy Harris, Joe Kearns, and Jack Kruschen.  All 40 original and one repeat broadcasts are available here for your enjoyment.  We have also added to this collection, a rare audition recording with Ben Wright in the title role.  The series was created by Anthony Ellis.  There are several network productions of this series that are currently not available so AFRS versions are used and are so noted.
