This upload contains 364 episodes of the Old Time Radio show Screen Guild Theater, sponsored over the years by Gulf Oil, Lady Esther Cosmetics, and Camel Cigarettes. The show, which started as a variety program and then quickly became a vehicle for adapting popular motion pictures of the day, aired over 530 episodes during its 14-year run (1939-1952). (The final season was billed as Stars in the Air.) A unique aspect of the show was that fees usually paid to actors were donated to the Motion Picture Relief Fund and used to provide for members of the industry in need. The dates, episode numbers and titles are believed to be correct based on available sources, but any corrections are welcome.
