Abroad With The Lockharts

A marvelous comedy soap opera, featuring the real-life married American couple, Gene & Kathleen Lockhart.

"Mr & Mrs Lockhart are the typical American Mr & Mrs who go abroad. Mr Lockhart is a businessman. He's comfortable, blunt, knows his own mind, enjoys his business and his community. Mrs Lockhart is the pleasant type of American wife. A thorough housekeeper, she belongs to both the women and literary clubs of her town, and she still retains the spirit of romance. Their complex situations we're certain, will delight the friends of this station each week."

Abroad With The Lockharts was a syndicated situation comedy first broadcast in October 1930 in Denver. It was both an adventure and romance soap opera, and was a popular favorite throughout the midwest.

The series featured Mr & Mrs Lockhart planning, and embarking upon, their summer vacation to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. Will Lockhart, the hardworking Chicago businessman, wants nothing more than to go on a nice, relaxing fishing trip. But Mrs Lockhart is tired of fishing trips, and feels that they are long overdue a trip to Europe, a cruise at the very least, since most of her friends at the womens club she attends have already traveled there.

She has planned her ambush well, and is ready with an answer to every rebuttal from Will. He doesn't stand a chance, and resigns himself to being dragged all over the cities of Europe for fifty days!

Each episode of Abroad With The Lockharts is an absolute joy to listen to, both for the amusing experiences they have on the cruise, the UK and Europe, and for their hilarious husband-wife rapport. 

Happy listening my friends,
