Notes
- General
- The First Nighter Program was a US long-running radio anthology comedy-drama series broadcast from 1930 to 1953. The host was Mr. First Nighter (Charles P. Hughes, MacDonald Carey, Bret Morrison, Marvin Miller, Don Briggs and Rye Billsbury). The show’s opening recreated the aural atmosphere of a Broadway opening. Before each week’s drama began, Mr. First Nighter was first heard walking on Broadway, emerging from the noise of people and street traffic into the crowded lobby of "the Little Theater Off Times Square" and then taking his seat in the third row center, where he gave the whispered introduction: The house lights have dimmed and the curtain is about to go up on tonight’s production. {Wikipedia].
