This light drama radio series was broadcast by CBS from 1953 to 1954. It came to radio following the 1952 movie, The Story Of Will Rogers," which was a bio-pic on one of America's favorite humorist and folk heroes. Will Rogers Jr played his father in the movie. While there was no serious attempt to tie this series to Will Rogers, Rogers Jr played a country role pumped full of country wisdom. Will Rogers, Jr. played Will Rogers, the editor of a newspaper in the small town of Illyria. Georgia Ellis played Rogers' assistant Maggie Button. Parley Baer played Doc Clemmons.
