Old Radio Shows Bring Forward The Lost Horizon
A less used but popular term that defines 'paradise' is actually 'Shangri-La'. It may interest you to know that the term has actually been used across a range of media, from publishing to the silver screen. It is in fact quite frequently used in everyday life.
Do you know where it came from?
Lost Horizon began as a novel by a James Hilton. It is set in 1930s China. Shangri-La is said to be a utopia, and is a prominent location of the story, which was stumbled upon by the survivors of a plane crash in the Himalayas.
Director Frank Capra shot the move remake of the story, and much like other movies of the time, was developed into an eventual old time radio shows classic.
Shangri-La was a fascinating place derived through the story, which revealed eventually that the place was completely trouble-free and in fact, the people of the city lived like kings and gods, being in such a utopia. But as the survivors arrive, it appears that their chance arrival was no accident. Being over a century old, the high lama that oversaw the city needed to find someone to take his place, and it would turn out that Hugh Conway, a British diplomat, was the person that took the reigns. However, his young vice-consul Mallinson was keen to leave and take the beautiful Lo-Tsen with him. Conway is torn between this paradise and Mallinson and Lo-Tsen whom he also loves, desire to escape and return to England.
It was a case of 'should I stay or should I go' for every one of the four main survivor characters. Many types of reader have acknowledged their interest in and appreciation of the story of Lost Horizon.
In old time radio, audio versions of hit films were often created and sometimes even starred the original cast members. A range of radio production companies have been involved in the making of Lost Horizon, like NBC University Theater and the Hallmark Playhouse.
In addition to going to radio, Lost Horizon was also made into a musical in 1973. However, this version was less well-received, resulting in a flop and failure to maintain the same kind of hold over audiences of the other, more popular earlier versions of the show.
The classic old time radio shows of the era were successful thanks to their being well adapted for the ears of the radio audience.
Author James Hilton welcomed in the New Year, after the Hallmark Theater created their version of the story in 1948. James Hilton can also be heard in a recorded commentary in the intermission of the NBC University Theater version which was broadcast on the 10th September 1950 four years before Hilton died from liver cancer in 1954.
When you give your ears the opportunity to listen to this old-time radio classic, you can be sure that Lost Horizon will live up to the fact even today.
