''Maxwell House Show Boat'' was the top radio show in the United States from 1933 to 1935. The program was sponsored by Maxwell House coffee, and it aired on NBC Radio Thursday nights, 9 pm. The first show was broadcast in 1931. ''Maxwell House Show Boat'' was inspired by the success of the Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein II musical ''Show Boat'', which was based on the novel of the same name by Edna Ferber. It became an instant classic when it opened in 1927 on Broadway. The radio program starred Charles Winninger as Captain Henry, a role directly inspired by Winninger's stage performance as Cap'n Andy Hawks, owner of the showboat ''Cotton Blossom'' in the Kern-Hammerstein musical. (Otherwise, the Maxwell House program and the stage ''Show Boat'' had nothing to do with each other besides the fact that both had a Mississippi showboat as a setting for the action.) In 1932, the year before ''Maxwell House Show Boat'' premiered, Winninger reprised his role as Cap'n Andy in the first stage revival of Kern and Hammerstein's ''Show Boat'', a role he would once again play in the 1936 film version of the musical. ==Cast== *Lanny Ross, master of ceremonies *Charles Winninger *Annette Hanshaw (1932-1934) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maxwell House Show Boat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
