Everything about this program was first rate from the acting to the very best in sound patterns (effects). William Conrad had to make a choice between this program, or staying with Escape, which he was heard on extensively. You'll agree that he made the right choice with devoting his talents here. William Conrad played U.S. Marshall Matt Dillon of Dodge City on the frontier of Kansas; Parley Baer as Chester Wesley Proudfoot, deputy to Marshall Dillon; Georgia Ellis as Kitty Russell, saloon girl; and Howard McNear as Doc Charles Adams. These four were heard in virtually very broadcast for the entire run. The great CBS acting staff is well represented here. Harry Bartell, Jeanne Bates, Lillian Buyeff, Virginia Christine, John Dehner, Lawrence Dobkin, Sam Edwards, Virginia Gregg, Vivi Janiss, Helen Kleeb, Lou Krugman, Jack Kruschen, Ralph Moody, Jeanette Nolan, James Nusser, Vic Perrin, Barney Phillips, and Ben Wright are heard throughout these programs. The total supporting acting staff included more than 115 actors and actresses. A total of 413 different scripts were produced. This is radio at its finest.
