CHESTNUT HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYS AT THE BLILEY HOUSE

Apparently, friends of Dawson and Isabelle in the neighborhood got together to put on short plays and record them just for fun. Below are two recordings from 1944 of a total of four radio plays. There is some background chatter as the players finish their work and return to partying while the recorder plays on to the end of the disk.

Voices of:

Frank A. Bliley
Isabelle Marie Bliley (35)
And many many more


Featuring: Don and Kay Hester, Josephine Lindsay,
Norbert “Nobby” and Degraces Allmendinger and Kenny Mink
