ABOUT THE RADIO SHOW:
            Adventurer/Explorer series (1932)
Another of the fine early shows of radio, this 15-minute series was created
and transcribed by the Los Angeles company Transco, an  un-heralded early
pioneer of radio production.It first was aired on radio station KFWB in Los
Angeles. Unfortunately, the names of the many talents who created this show
are lost like a ruin in the steamy jungles of time.

The setting is the plush and highly decorated World Adventurer's Club, where members relax and regale each other with their exploits in distant and exotic
places. One can imagine that Phineas Fogg's Explorer's Club in London might
have been a model.In our World Adventurer's Club (in San Francisco, perhaps
next door to the hotel where once stayed the man called Paladin) one can
imagine gentleman with brandy and cigars reclining in overstuffed leather
couches and  chairs, the room lined with mahogany bookcases.
Tall red velvet draped windows throw dim sunlight on walls covered with strange masks and hand weapons, while statues in the corners stare out between 
potted palm fronds.

There's even an Explorer Quartet to sing of adventure! Ah, the wild world that
still lay in wait in 1932! In  fact, alternate titles for the show 
were "Adventures in a Strange Land,"as well as "The Adventurer's Club". These hearty souls coerce each other into tales of amazing adventure. Titles such as "Land of Doomed Souls," "Fire Dog," "Living Shroud," "Hairy Wild
Man," "Muckin' In The Khyber," "Pancho Villa's Treasure," and " Mad Monk Of Ankor Wat" simply thrill and amaze! Some are supposedly based on reality.
Enjoy listening to these tales of action and adventure, and you be the judge!
