A subscriber to the the Internet OTR Digest asked who Arthur Anderson is. While I explained on the Digest that he was a long-time castmember of “Let’s Pretend” and the author of the BearManor Media book on the series, the voice of the Lucky Charms Leprechaun for decades, and a great friend to the Friends of Old-Time Radio Convention, I also referenced this Mercury Theater on the Air program. This show not only has a fourteen-year-old Arthur in the starring role of Jim Hawkins, Jr., it also ran a little short, forcing Orson Welles to vamp a bit, and in doing so tell the story of how Arthur, playing with the sprinkler system, managed to make it rain during a stage performance of Julius Caesar. Excellent-quality sound in this audio CD.
