Theater of Romance, also known as Romance, was a 30-minute old time radio show which aired on CBS between 1943 and 1957. It served as a filler show for programs like Gunsmoke, Life with Luigi, and Lux Radio Theater. Romance featured Hollywood stars such as Gregory Peck, Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda, and Shirley Temple, often with storylines tied to their current films. The show covered various romantic themes, including historical fiction, and was typically performed in front of a live audience. Despite its origins as a filler show, Romance gained a faithful following and became almost as popular as Lux Radio Theatre over the years. The show saw numerous changes in producers, directors, and performers throughout its time on air, but always provided a happy ending for its listeners.
