The Screen Guild Theater was a popular radio anthology series during the Golden Age of Radio that began airing on the CBS network on January 8, 1939 and lasted for fourteen seasons and 527 episodes. The episodes were typically radio adaptations of films and starred the top Hollywood stars of the day, including Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, and Ingrid Bergman. The fees that these actors would typically charge were donated to the Motion Picture Relief Fund, in order to support the creation and maintenance of the Motion Picture Country Home for retired actors.
