Encore Theater, a series of compelling and sympathetic medical-themed dramas, aired during the Golden Age of Radio. These episodes were based on true stories and provided valuable insights into medical history, showcasing the dedication of doctors and the importance of their work. Sponsored by Schenley Labs, Inc, the show featured some of the finest talent of stage, screen, and radio like Lurene Tuttle, Eric Snowden, Gerald Mohr, Ronald Colman, Robert Young, and Lionel Barrymore. Directed by William Lawrence with music by Leith Stevens, Encore Theater is an overlooked gem that remains both relevant and collectible to this day. This summer series was later replaced by Cresta Blanca Hollywood Players.
