Project Audion Episode 20: Jack Benny
Description
Project Audion's latest episode is a recreation of a Jack Benny show you've never heard before - because it was written just for Audion by Bob Hope staff writer Robert L. Mills. Robert learned the comedy craft by listening to Benny's shows as a boy, and his script - "Jack Visits the DMV" - has the classic setups and style that made the original Benny shows so funny. It's like a whole new episode from 1950! Thanks to our talented transcontinental cast and crew, it sounds like a vintage episode too. We have some terrific voices stepping into the shoes of the original Jack Benny players -- Jack Benny: Geoffrey Mark, CA Don Wilson: Ken Jeffries, CA Rochester: Lee J. Greene, NE Dennis Day/Frank Nelson: Bob Beaumont, CA Mary Livingstone/Bus Guide: Denise Cline, KY Phil Harris: Norman Cline, KY Ed the Vault Guard: Harry Middlebrooks, CA Mr Kitzel/Racetrack Tout: Duane Noch, NJ Butler & Cop: Stanley Dyrector, CA Stu: Robert L. Mills, CA ...with Ken Raney handling sound effects and the production managed by Larry Groebe.
