Old Time Radio - Soap Operas - Whispering Street

Whispering Streets is a romantic soap-opera drama old time radio serial with a special twist. The stories are told in a somewhat serial format with the next week's story using a minor character's point of view. It is a highly unusual format and quite enjoyable, especially trying to guess which minor character will be the major character in the next week. - Whispering Streets started1958 (?), moved to CBS in 1959 and stayed there until 25 November 1960. It had multiple well-known hostesses/narrators throughout the show's run including Bette Davis, Cathy Lewis, Hope Winslow, Ann Seymour, Gertrude Warner. The most dramatic narrator of the show's run is Bette Davis who begins each show with a "Hell-low" and ends with "Goohdd-bye." Veteran radio soap actress Gertrude Warner, who once played the title roles in old-time radio soaps Ellen Randolph, Joyce Jordan, M.D. (formerly Joyce Jordan, Girl Intern) and Mrs. Miniver, plays Hope and narrates Whispering Streets. Its final episode is considered the curtain-closure for old-time radio soaps. For on that same day, CBS cancelled at last four other vintages: Ma Perkins, The Right to Happiness, Young Doctor Malone, and The Second Mrs. Burton.
