The Hall of Fantasy - "Markheim" (Old Time Radio, 1947)

Monday, October 19, 2026 • Duration 27:33

The Hall of Fantasy presents “Markheim,” originally broadcast April 24, 1947. This surviving early local production originated at KALL in Salt Lake City for the InterMountain Network, years before the series’ later national association with Mutual.

Adapted by Robert Olsen from Robert Louis Stevenson’s supernatural moral tale, the drama stars series co-creator Carl Grayson as Markheim. On Christmas Eve, a desperate stock-exchange gambler enters a shadowed antique shop seeking money—and finds himself facing guilt, temptation, and an unsettling visitor who seems to know him all too well.

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
