Armstrong's Theatre of Today
The announcers were George Bryan and Tom Shirley. The program opened with Bryan reporting the news, followed by Hollywood film actors in original dramas. Ira Avery and Al Ward directed with Avery producing. James Rinaldi provided the special effects. Commercials were read by the Armstrong Quaker Girl (Elizabeth Reller, Julie Conway). Harold Levey was the musical director. Stars over Hollywood, another anthology program, also began in 1941, and when Armstrong began it immediately followed Stars on the air. That combination "gave CBS the edge in the Saturday dramatic derby for thirteen years."
