Series Description:

RUNYON'S GUYS & DOLLS was a series of six shows brought to the air
by the BBC World Service.  All were based on short stories by Damon
Runyon and were dramatized for radio by Walter Hall. The series was
directed by David Hitchison.

Following the pattern of the original short stories, an unnamed
storyteller, played by Bob Sherman for the full series, would tell
story, leading into the dramatization.  As in the originals, the
series utilized the audio art of dialect humor.  The fact that it was
produced in the United Kingdom might make one wonder how well it
could be carried out.  Have no fear, it's well done and is an enjoy-
able listen.  Actual dates of broadcast are unknown at this time.

For those who have heard the DAMON RUNYON THEATER from the 1950's
that were produced and broadcast in the United States, and who would
like to hear more, these shows are welcome addition.
