Grand Marquee
This dramatic series was heard on NBC for only a little over a year. It was directed by Director Norman Felton. Virginia Stafford Lynne was the writer. Leading roles near the end of its run were frequently played by Jim Ameche, Olan Soule and Beryl Vaughn. The shows were 30 minutes long and frequently light-hearted comedies. The program originated from Chicago. The series started as a Summer replacement for Amos and Andy, airing on Tuesday evenings. It moved into a prime-time slot in November of 1946, on Sunday evenings until December 26. On that date, it moved to Thursdays where it remained until it left the air on September 25, 1947.
