The Hopalong Cassidy show was first heard in 1949, on the Mutual network. In 1950, it moved to CBS, where it was heard on Saturdays, at 8:30 PM. The show was usually sponsored by General Foods until its disappearance from the airwaves in 1952. William Boyd played Hoppy; Andy Clyde was his sidekick, California; and the Hoppy's horse's name was "Topper". This is an example of one of the OTR shows that originated as a movie serial. It was also seen on TV.

As best I could tell, Bela Lugosi, who was famous for his vampire and other spooky portrayals in the movies, appeared in only one OTR series: Crime Does Not Pay. G. J. Satterlee ([email protected]) remembered a couple of single programs: Suspense's The Dr. Prescribed Death, and as a guest star on Abbott and Costello. This picture is of Mr Lugosi and Carole Borland, another spooky star.
Lauren Bacall, friend of Humphry Bogart in many movies, also appeared on the radio a few times. She was a guest on Bing Crosby's show, and played various roles in some of the OTR dramas.
