All Star Western Theatre was a radio show that featured a variety of different shows during the mid-1940s. The program offered light-hearted humor and laughter as a pleasant alternative to heavier and more intense dramas of the time. The show's music was performed by a group called "The Riders of the Purple Sage," led by Foy Willing, and served as a backdrop to the episodes' Western-themed stories and sketches. The show was characterized by its "rootin' tootin' hoe-down" atmosphere, complete with guest appearances by popular stars of the time.

The radio show aired in the mid-1940s, and of the 78 episodes produced, 66 are still known to be in circulation today. The music group "The Riders of the Purple Sage" also appeared on other radio shows during this time, such as the Andrews Sisters' Eight-to-the-Bar Ranch in 1944-45, and the Roy Rogers Show between 1946 and 1948. Guest stars like Johnny Mack Brown added to the show's appeal, with action sketches and humorous skits providing entertainment for all ages. Much like the old western movies, All Star Western Theatre offered an honest, sincere, and unassuming form of entertainment that continues to resonate with audiences today.
