Topper - New Series On RUSC

The Adventures of Topper is a situation comedy based on the hilarious novel by Thorne Smith.

Cosmo Topper, played by Roland Young is the president of a bank whose life has been complicated by a pair of dizzy ghosts, George and Marian Kirby (Paul Mann and Frances Chaney) who died in an automobile accident when their car hit a tree. However, they couldn’t get to heaven and had to remain on earth as low plain spirits. They befriended Cosmo Topper, to the disbelief of his wife (Hope Emerson), and would appear to him and only him out of thin air. Of course when he talks to them he appears to others to be talking to himself, thus placing himself in many embarrassing and highly amusing situations!

The radio series only ran for the Summer of 1945 before becoming one of the early successes on TV. Unfortunately, there are only a few episodes still in existence of which Joy and I have only 2. If you do have any other episodes we would sure love to receive them to share on RUSC.

I have added one today, Friday 17th September and the other, entitled "Rajah" for next Friday 24th September. And now thanks to our dedicated RUSC member Carl A. we have a 3rd Topper to add entitled Topper Pretends To Be Dead. Hope you enjoy them.

Happy listening my friends,
