The Capture of Lizzie Stone

Photoplay magazine    June 1939

The story of outlaw Lizzie Stone who falls for the new deputy Marshall in town.  She decides to give up breaking the law and will shoot anyone between the eyes who tries to stop her!  The show is well done and a lot of fun.  'Lizabeth (as she prefers to be called) Stone is played by that well known cowgirl herself, Miss Ginger Rogers.  The best date I've been able to find fur when this a-here show wuz done is 1943, or there abouts.  It is listed online as an "audition show" but an audition for what isn't as clear.  Check it out for yurselves, or Lizzie.... I mean 'Lizabeth, will make ya' pay the price.

    1. She looks tough, don't she! Ginger was quite the chameleon of an actress.

    2. ...really wish she could have been in the Annie Oakley film...not sure if it was all that successful, but she would have been awesome, as she really wanted to do it...

    1. I love this show too. I think it is one of Ginger's best performances for radio. I'm glad it has survived all this time!
