The Bertha Gives Letter To Bill
Not for broadcast "special recording," "Who Is The Father?" A very funny satire on the popular soap opera, recorded by members of the cast and sponsored (in jest) by Duz. The recording has shocking language and very adult situations. Fascinating listening! The recording was made for Irna Phillips; the cast each personally bid farewell to her. The following characters are heard but not identified: "Jen" (identified only as "Dorothy), "Martha," "Dean," and "Birdie." The date is approximate.
