Favorite Story
 
     Triple appeal was the hook for this series.  A well known host of the series, a classic immortal play, and the selection of the play by a famous personality as their "favorite story."  The series was hosted by Ronald Colman, who, from time-to-time also appeared in the stories.  Which do you think is Fred Allen's favorite story?  Great listening!  One of radio's best.  While generally syndicated around the country, the following dates are from the KFI NBC West Coast broadcasts.
     Cast members heard over these broadcasts include Ronald Colman, William Conrad, Byron Kane, Herb Butterfield, Lurene Tuttle, Howard Duff, Frank Lovejoy, Hans Conried, Janet Waldo, Eric Snowden, Norman Field, Gloria Gordon, Raymond Burr, Vincent Price, Joseph Kerns, Ethel Barrymore, Jimmy Lydon, John Beal, Berry Kroeger, Edmund MacDonald, Jeff Chandler, Jeff Corey, Betty Lou Gerson and Helen Craig.
