Item Description
1.25". Edge curl "Isabel Manning Hewson 1945." Button shows image of red fish with green vest. Land of the Lost was a 1940s radio fantasy adventure, written and narrated by Isabel Manning Hewson, about the adventures of two children who traveled underwater with a fatherly fish Red Lantern. Each week the show opened with the line "In That Wonderful Kingdom At The Bottom Of The Sea...," and then Red Lantern showed Billy and Isabel where different lost objects were stored beneath the waves. The Land of the Lost radio series aired from 1943 to 1948 on the Mutual Broadcasting System at ABC. Betty Jane Tyler was the voice of the young Isabel, and Ray Ives was the voice of the Billy. Several actors voiced Red Lantern, including Art Carney, Julius Matthews and William Keene. The announcer was Michael Fitzmaurice and Cyril Armbrister directed. In addition to the Land of the Lost comic book series, drawn by Olive Bailey for EC Comics, Hewson's stories were animated as a short-lived series of Famous Studios film shorts: Land of the Lost (1948), Land of the Lost Jewels (1950) and Land of the Lost Watches (1951). Light surface wear shows only in reflected light. Displays glossy & Mint.
