Oakland Post-Enquirer, 26-February-1925

Radio station KGO, which is still on the air, was General Electric's station in Oakland. One night in February, 1925, KGO broadcast George M Cohan's play Seven Keys to Baldpate, a comic mystery which was based on the first novel by Earl Derr Biggers, who later created Charlie Chan. Director Wilda Wilson Church was a pioneer in developing drama on radio.

Comedy to Be Given by KGO Players -- April 10, 2024

San Francisco Examiner, 27-April-1924

KGO, a powerful radio station licensed in San Francisco but based in Oakland, has been on the air since 1924. I have to look into the KGO Players. Daddy Long-Legs was a novel by Jean Webster that was made into a play, a stage musical and was filmed at least three times. I wonder if the radio script still exists.
