A DATE WITH LIFE

OCTOBER 10,1955-JUNE 29,1956 NBC

BAY CITY

Laura Appleby...????????

Jim Bradley...Logan Field   10/10/55-11/11/55

Tom Bradley...Mark Roberts 11/11/1955-6/29/56

 

Organist  ...   Billy Nalle

 

A Date With Life

Logan Field as Jim Bradley, editor of the Bay City News, daily newspaper for Bay City, will appear in every episode, introducing each and playing an active part in each. Episodes will be based on the stories that lie behind local items in the newspaper reporting the activities of the city.

 

Mark Roberts replaced Logan Field as lead character Nov 14 1955 and appeared in all subsequent stories.

I would assume actors in different stories were playing the same characters

In Defense of Eve Peterson - by Harry Junkin

Host "Linda Porter" introduces the current story which revolves around the life of an actress, Eve, who is attempting to hide the fact that she is slowly losing her hearing. The only person aware of her predicament is her mother. In this episode, Eve tells her mother about some embarrassing moments she's had because of her inability to hear well. Her mother thinks it will be much easier on her daughter if she just tells the truth to her husband, Lyle. Eve, however, is afraid that if she tells him about her condition it will ruin both of their careers since they work as partners on stage. Meanwhile, Lyle senses that Eve is hiding something from him and asks his mother-in-law to help him find out the truth.

Constance Ford - Cass

,Coe Norton - John

 Story revolves around the life of a young woman, Cass, who has been dedicating her time to destroying the career of an attorney, John, who caused her friend Lucy to lose custody of her child. Cass believes that John is just out to promote himself and not interested in serving justice. In this episode, however, Cass realizes that she has been wrong about John when she learns that Lucy had been involved with a known criminal and that John is attempting to put this man behind bars. Unfortunately, a store owner, Tom, is withholding importance evidence from John that is crucial to his case. Tom tells Cass that he refused to help John after hearing what a horrible person he was from Cass herself. Cass realizes that she must remedy the situation before John loses his case and a criminal goes free because of her mixed-up feelings. Meanwhile, Tom's current sweetheart, Olivia, arrives at Cass's shop to apologize for her immature behavior towards Cass.
