Christmas Radio Series
The Cinnamon Bear
by
Glanville Heisch
"The
Cinnamon Bear," a delightful, one-of-a-kind children's series produced
in 1937 by TRANSCO, the Transcription Company of America. Intended to
be heard between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the series features
twenty-six fifteen-minute cliffhanger installments. The program
immediately hooks children because suspenseful fun is always present as
each episode concludes with yet another obstacle for Paddy and the
twins to overcome.
The Cinnamon Bear
is the classic story of Judy and Jimmy Barton who search for the
family's Silver Star which goes on top of their Christmas tree. They
discover the star has disappeared from the attic. Then they meet The
Cinnamon Bear, and fly to Maybeland in his Soda Pop Airplane in pursuit
of the Crazy Quilt Dragon, whom they believe took the ornament. They
meet a host of characters, including Crazy Quilt Dragon, The
Wintergreen Witch, Fe Fo the Giant, and even Santa Claus.
Each
amazing adventure is a cliffhanger. Several times they recover the
star, only to lose it again. Eventually the star is found for good and
they return home just in time for Christmas.
This classic
story was written by Glan Heisch, inspired by the stuffed bear of his
boyhood, for his daughter, Catherine. Radio historians differ on the
year of the first broadcast -- some say 1937, others say 1943. It would
seem that it was "heard" several years before it was transcribed for
broadcast. Airplay would start just after Thanksgiving and run until
Christmas Eve.
This is the full and complete 26 (15 minute
) episodes series heard on the radio in the 1930's and is still
replayed today on Local radio stations during the Xmas Hoildays
