Goldstone's Folly

In 1865 San Francisco, a young clerk named Louis Goldstone asks a Russian sea captain to allow him passage to Alaska. Mr. Goldstone became a major merchant of Alaska sealskin and furs...at just the time Mr. Seward was suggesting the United States purchase the territory. The production details of this show are excellent, music, sound effects and ambience. You can almost smell the oceans and mountains. After-drama speaker: A.W. Sheffers, member of The Board of Overseers of The Jewish Theological Seminary of America and a prominent civic leader. The system cue has been deleted.

The Eternal Light was an American radio and television program on the NBC Radio Network, produced in conjunction with the Jewish Theological Seminary, that was broadcast between 1944 and 1989. Featuring interviews, commentary, and award-winning dramas from the perspective of Judaism, it began on radio in 1944 and continued as a weekly radio program through 1989. A 1946 program, for example, dramatized humanitarian Lillian Wald's founding of New York City's Henry Street Settlement in 1895. The May 31, 1959, program featured a tour of the Holy Land narrated by Ralph Bellamy.
