"Dr. Christian" was broadcast by CBS every Sunday from Nov 07, 1938 thru January 06,1950. It was a soap opera, but not your every day soap opera. This soap opera played like a serial drama (as each episode was complete), but to keep listeners abreast of the 'goings-on', past activity was referred to within other episodes, as was/is done with all other soap operas.
Dr. Christian was portrayed by Jean Hersholt; you may recall that Jean also played Shirley Temple's 'Alps-Dwelling' grandfather in the movie "Heidi." Dr. Christian, country Doctor in small town of 'Rivers-End,' gave sage advice, never talking down to those he doctored. It amazes me, whenever I listen to this program, because episodes appear to be current-day; it is hard to believe much of "Dr. Christian" was written over 70 years ago.
Sponsor for the full 12-year run of "Dr. Christian," was Vaseline Products. I believe you will truly enjoy this enchanting program, not to mention the Vaseline Petroleum Jelly commercials included within each episode! The commercials are a treat in themselves!
