July 16, 1934“The Nutcracker Suite”
[
“…On Monday night, the CRC’s Radio Theatre
Guild offered the Cameron Matthews Players in a tingling melodrama
that sent cold shivers up and down our spine. Instantly we forgot the
sweltering outdoors as we heard unfolded an eerie—pardon the
superfluity of ‘e’s,’ but really, this thing was that weird—an eerie tale of a
madman. The Cameron Matthews players did it exceptionally well. It was
called ‘The Nutcracker Suite,’ the story opening as a lady and her male
friend are enjoying the former’s piano rendition of Tschaikowsky’s
composition, their favorite piece of music. The lady’s husband returns
home unexpectedly and her lover exits through the back door. The
husband senses the affair, exacts an admission from the maidservant and
plans a madman’s revenge. On the whole the performance reminded us
of Bill Cooper and his NBC thriller, ‘Lights Out.’”
