SPECIAL EASTER PROGRAMS ON "THE GREATEST STORY"
The Easter season will be marked by a special series of plays on the radio program, "The Greatest Story Ever Told," which is now in its second year over the ABC network every Sunday night at 6:30 p. m., EST. Last year, the Easter Trilogy, broadcast on Passion Sunday, Palm Sunday, and Easter Sunday, proved a high spot in this outstanding dramatic program, and this year's plays for the same Sundays, on March 14, 21 and 28, will be equally effective.
"The Greatest Story Ever Told," a dramatization of the teachings of Christ, which pioneered in radio in being the first program of its scope to refrain from using any advertising, has in its first year of broadcasting, received honors from all sides. Church groups, civic organizations, industrial and other groups who select outstanding programs, have invariably designated this program for special honors.
Recordings of each of the programs broadcast during the first year are available for use in schools, churches, hospitals, and other inspirational groups. The records come in albums, two programs to an album, at a price of $4.95, postpaid, if ordered from the American Broadcasting Company, Greatest Story Department, New York City.
