...great many stage and film actors used to stimulate that faculty, among them Jeff Chandler, Van Heflin, Richard Widmark, Agnes Moorehead and E.G. Marshall. To many performers, ra dio drama remains more than a warm memory. Moorehead and Marshall, for example, are returning to CBS Radio Mystery Theater at far less than their customary salaries.
