Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air!

Broadcasters had pursued a Mickey Mouse radio program for several years, but Disney rejected the idea, feeling that the cartoon characters’ main appeal was visual, and that the voices might not be enough to carry a radio series. However, the opportunity to promote the Snow White film was too important to miss. The first proposed version was a talk show, with Mickey interviewing guest stars, but that idea was scrapped in September 1937. The writers focused instead on the Disney characters’ affinity with folk tales and nursery rhymes. Disney performed Mickey’s voice for the first three episodes. Starting with the fourth episode, Mickey was voiced by comedian Joe Twerp. Disney also appeared as himself in some early episodes. In later episodes, Disney was too busy to attend performances, and he was impersonated by announcer John Hiestand.[2] Radio actor J. Donald Wilson provided the voice for one episode.Other Disney characters featured on the program were Donald Duck (Clarence Nash), Minnie Mouse (Thelma Boardman), Goofy (Stuart Buchanan)[4] and Clara Cluck (Florence Gill). Music was provided by the Felix Mills Orchestra, Donald Duck’s Swing Band and The Minnie Mouse Woodland Choir. The opening theme music was “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?”, and the closing theme was “Heigh-Ho” from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
