High adventure fills the air as the Golden Age of Radio dial turns to the “Bold Venture” series Thursday, May 2, at 1 p.m. in the Town of Fountain Hills Community Center.

Hollywood legends Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall starred in this fast-paced, half-hour, syndicated series.

Bogart played Slate Shannon, a proprietor of a hotel in Havana and owner of the appropriately named boat, the Bold Venture.

Bacall played the role of Sailor Duval, a sultry sidekick to Slate Shannon.

That chemistry between Bogart and Bacall is just as strong in these broadcasts as it ever was on the silver screen, a press release read.

“Bold Venture” also featured the calypso-singing character King Moses played by Jester Hairston whose lyrics reflected and contributed to the storylines.

David Rose was the program’s musical director while Bogart’s own Santana Productions produced the series.

Many classic radio programs are contained in the Golden Age of Radio’s Bruce Florence Library, an extensive collection of timeless broadcasts on records, cassette tapes and compact discs.

Membership in the Community Center is required to attend meetings of the Golden Age of Radio.
