Big Sister was a daytime radio drama series created by
Lillian Laugerty and broadcast on CBS from September 14,
1936 to December 26, 1952. It was sponsored by Lever
Brothers (Rinso) until 1946 when Procter & Gamble became the
sponsor.
Set in the fictional town of Glen Falls, the program
dramatized the life of Ruth Evans who sacrificed her own
happiness to care for her younger sister Sue and their
crippled brother Neddie. After Sue married reporter Jerry
Miller, Ruth continued to care for Neddie. She fell in love
with Neddie's doctor, John Wayne, who cured Neddie. Ruth and
John married on October 19, 1939, but during World War II,
John was held in a Japanese prison camp. He returned to Glen
Falls suffering from shell-shock.[1]
The actresses who portrayed Ruth over the decades were Alice
Frost, Nancy Marshall, Marjorie Anderson and Mercedes
McCambridge. Sue was played by Haila Stoddard, Dorothy
McGuire, Peggy Conklin and Fran Carlon. Michael O'Day was
heard in the role of little Neddie Evans.
The popularity of this program led to a spin-off radio
series, Bright Horizon, which CBS began broadcasting in
1941. To assure its success, Alice Frost appeared on Bright
Horizon for a short while in her role of Ruth Evans Wayne.
Announcers for the program were Fred Uttal, Jim Ameche and
Hugh Conover.
Organist Richard Leibert furnished the background music and
the opening theme, "Valse Bluette".
