Boris Karloff Month Day 23: The History of Mr. Polly

Welcome back to Boris Karloff month! Today I'm looking at an episode of NBC University Theatre. This was an odd series where listeners could hear radio adaptations of great novels to assist themselves in correspondence classes. It led to a lot of adaptations of works which you would have otherwise never hear on radio! In this instance, it's an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel "The History of Mr. Polly", starring Boris Karloff in the lead role. Although Wells is still a widely-read author, this humorous novel is mostly forgotten today. The episode is from October 17, 1948. You can hear it at Youtube by clicking here!
