Escape was radio's leading anthology series of high adventure. It aired on
CBS from July 7, 1947 to September 25, 1954. Since the program did not have
a regular sponsor like Suspense, it was subjected to frequent schedule
shifts and lower production budgets, although Richfield Oil signed on as a
sponsor for five months in 1950.
Despite these problems, Escape kept many listeners spellbound during its
seven-year run. The series' well-remembered opening combined Mussorgsky's
Night on Bald Mountain with the introduction, intoned by Paul Frees and
William Conrad: “Tired of the everyday routine? Ever
dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We
offer you... Escape!”
Of the more than 230 Escape episodes, most have survived in good condition.
Many of the story plots, both originals and adaptations, involved a
protagonist in dire life-or-death straits, and the series featured science
fiction and supernatural tales.
Some of the memorable adaptations include Algernon Blackwood's "Confession",
Ray Bradbury's oft-reprinted "Mars Is Heaven," George R. Stewart's Earth
Abides, Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game," F. Scott Fitzgerald's
"The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," John Collier's
"Evening Primrose", later adapted to TV as a Stephen Sondheim musical
starring Anthony Perkins. Vincent Price and Harry Bartell were heard in the
chilling "Three Skeleton Key," the tale of three men trapped in an isolated
lighthouse by thousands of rats. The half-hour was adapted from an Esquire
short story by the French writer George Toudouze.
Harry Bartell was heard in "Three Skeleton Key" and 55 other Escape
programs.
So whenever you have had one of those days, and who
doesn’t lately, and want to Escape, remember……..“Tired of the everyday
routine? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from
it all? We offer you... Escape!” And put the CD in and for a little while at
least...Escape. Enjoy over 177 episodes and 87 plus hours to Escape in!
