Abroad with the Lockharts
"Abroad with the Lockharts" was a 1931-1932, 13 episode radio drama which followed a middle-aged Chicago couple on their start to finish European trip. Of the original 13 episode program, we have only nine episodes in the series. Abroad With The Lockharts was a syndicated situation comedy first broadcast in October 1930 in Denver. It was both an adventure and romance soap opera, and was a popular favorite throughout the midwest.
The series featured Mr and Mrs Lockhart planning, and embarking upon, their summer vacation to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. Will Lockhart, the hardworking Chicago businessman, wants nothing more than to go on a nice, relaxing fishing trip. But Mrs Lockhart is tired of fishing trips, and feels that they are long overdue a trip to Europe, since most of her friends at the womens club she attends have already traveled there.
