When Orson Welles’ infamous dramatic anthology series Mercury Theater on the Air found a sponsor, it became Campbell Playhouse. The program continued to feature the charismatic and fiery Welles as both a host and an actor. Classic stories such as Mutiny on the Bounty, Showboat, and Jane Eyre were performed by the likes of Laurence Olivier, Helen Hayes, Burgess Meredith, Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, and Agnes Moorehead.
