Theater Guild on the Air: At Mrs. Beam’s (AWR0247)

Batman Villains of Old Time Radio

We continue our look at actors who portrayed villains in the 1966 Batman TV series. This week we turn to Burgess Meredith, who played the Penguin and we present an episode of Theater Guild on the Air.

In this episode, we step back in time to the bustling streets of pre-war London and the peculiar happenings at Mrs. Beam’s boarding house. Paulette Goddard and Burgess Meredith star in a comedic caper that twists and turns through the lives of romantic crooks and their unwitting hosts. From high-society scandals to the threat of the infamous Bluebeard, join us for an adventure that’s as charming as it is chaotic.

Original Radio Broadcast: October 28, 1945

Cast: Burgess Meredith,Paulette Goddard, Brenda Forbes

After talking about the episode, we discuss the Batman two-parter, “Hizzonner the Penguin” and “Dizzoner the Penguin” from Season 2.
