June 2, 1952 -X •SC ROMANTIC ADVENTURES OF 'THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL' TO EE TUESDAY NIGHT FEATURE ON NBC RADIO # 4 PREMIERE The dashing and romantic adventures of THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL, who defied and outwitted the tribunals of the French Revolution, will be re-created on NBC radio in a weekly dramatic series starting Tues¬ day, July 1 (8:00 p.m., EDT). "The Scarlet Pimpernel," a Summer ser¬ ies, will take the time spot of the vacationing "Cavalcade of America.' The famous novel by Baroness Orczy, which has made fine motion-picture material on several occasions, will be adapted for ra¬ dio by Joel Murcott, NBC script writer most recently of "The Big Show," who will write each weekly stanza as an individual adventure. "The Scarlet Pimpernel" will be produced in London by Harry Alan Towers, well-known British producer of recorded radio programs broadcast all over the world and head of the Towers of London produc¬ tion firm. Marius Goring, distinguished British actor, will be heard in the role of Sir Percy Blakeney, ostensibly a fop, a nitwit, a simper¬ ing poseur of the London drawing rooms. Unknown to anyone but a small band of vigilantes. Sir Percy is actually an incredibly brave and in¬ genious daredevil who, as the Scarlet Pimpernel, occupies himself with snatching doomed French aristocrats from the shadow of the guillotine. 1
