Yeah, you gotta love Paul Frees. His voice is all over Dimestore Radio Theater shows.

Regardless, Box 13 rarely acknowledged the holidays, so it is likely a coincidence. Still...

But I intentionally name a character Suzie as a nod to Box 13.

I wish they'd made a movie out of "The Haunted Artist". They could have had party scenes with all those colorful "bohemians."

Yes, the voices were most likely done by a white person. But there are so many different asian characters on this show, I can't help but wonder if this was appealing to the Asian American audience that lived in the US in those days. While there are many offensive elements to the portrayals, I imagine you probably didn't hear many Asian voices on the radio at all in 1947. (In the wake of WWII, where most Americans were fairly racist against the Japanese, and often confused all "asians" as Japanese.
The characterizations could be a lot better, certainly. But having any representation on this show must have meant something to people who only heard white voices, for the most part.

Since then, actors mostly sign contracts for one film, possible a multi-picture deal. But unless you're a Disney Brat, you don't usually sign with a studio anymore.

However, if Chandu reaches a natural "conclusion" to the main storylines a little early, I might switch it out before all the episodes are aired. There are a lot of 15 minutes radio serials, and it might be fun to explore some of the superhero shorts from that era. (Which are a lot different from the kinds of superhero stories you get now.)

I wonder if they recorded them all in big batches. Or they would have to go down to the studio just for 15 minutes every day. Probably, they didn't record many things in advance, did they?
Austin Rich:

My guess, it, pre-recorded to transcription disc, to send it out to other stations.
