Acerca de Abroad with the Lockharts

"Abroad with the Lockharts" is a 13-episode syndicated romantic comedy radio series that first aired in 1930. It follows the adventures of a fictional American couple, Will and Mrs. Lockhart, portrayed by real-life husband and wife Gene and Kathleen Lockhart. The series begins with Mrs. Lockhart convincing her reluctant businessman husband to forgo his usual fishing trip and instead take her on a European vacation to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. Over the course of the show, they travel by ship from New York to Europe, visiting places like London, Paris, and Rome, before returning home.The charm of the series lies in the dynamic between the two characters: Will is a blunt, practical man who’d rather be fishing, while Mrs. Lockhart is an enthusiastic, romantic housewife eager to explore the world. Their journey offers a mix of humor and lighthearted travelogue, reflecting an American perspective on Europe during the early 1930s, a time when such trips were a rare luxury for most, especially amidst the Great Depression. The show aired on various stations across the U.S. and even overseas into the mid-1930s, with the earliest known broadcast on August 17, 1930, on WCAO in Baltimore.Only nine episodes are known to survive today, including the first seven and the final two, providing a glimpse into this early radio gem. It’s a fun, escapist look at travel and marriage, with Gene Lockhart—who also wrote much of the series—bringing a touch of his creative flair to the scripts.

Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (13) Homeward Bound

"Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (13) Homeward Bound" is the thirteenth episode of the 1930s CBS radio comedy series. After their European escapades—culminating in Rome in episode twelve—the Lockharts, our lovably clueless American couple, are now heading back to the States. This finale (assuming a typical 13-episode arc) likely puts them on a ship again, mirroring their "At Sea" start, but now seasoned with tales of their misadventures. Expect humor from their relief at leaving “weird” Europe behind, mixed with last-minute chaos—maybe they lose a souvenir, argue over packing, or try to impress fellow passengers with exaggerated stories of Rome. The 1930s transatlantic vibe—think cramped cabins and deck games—would frame their journey, with the Lockharts possibly lamenting the end of their trip or botching a farewell to newfound friends. Without an exact date beyond 1930 or preserved audio, the plot’s a reconstruction based on the show’s tone.

Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (12) Sightseeing in Rome

"Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (12) Sightseeing in Rome" is the twelfth episode of the 1930s CBS radio comedy series. By this point, the Lockharts—our comedic American travelers—have made their way to Rome, likely after journeying through other European stops following their Parisian train escapade in episode seven. This episode would feature them bumbling through Rome’s iconic sights: picture them gawking at the Colosseum, tossing coins haphazardly into the Trevi Fountain, or getting tangled in a spaghetti mishap at a trattoria. The 1930s lens might amplify Roman stereotypes—gesticulating locals, ancient ruins baffling modern Yankees, or the Lockharts accidentally offending a pompous guide. The show’s formula thrives on their outsider perspective, so expect laughs from cultural missteps—like mispronouncing “ciao” or mistaking a relic for junk. With no exact date beyond 1930 and scant surviving recordings, the specifics remain a guess based on its travelogue style.

Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (07) Wagon-Lit Office in Paris

"Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (07) Wagon-Lit Office in Paris" is the seventh episode of the 1930s CBS radio comedy series. After crossing the English Channel in episode six, the Lockharts—our accident-prone American couple—find themselves in Paris, likely at the office of the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, the company behind luxury sleeper trains like the Orient Express. This episode probably centers on their attempt to book a train journey, setting up a classic fish-out-of-water scenario: the Lockharts mangling French, misunderstanding ticket agents, or balking at the opulence (and cost) of a wagon-lit berth. The humor would hinge on 1930s American stereotypes of Paris—snooty locals, language barriers, and the couple’s wide-eyed awe or confusion. Maybe they mix up destinations or end up on the wrong platform. The Wagon-Lit tie-in suggests they’re gearing up for more European adventures, with the train as their next comedic stage.

Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (06) Crossing the English Channel

"Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (06) Crossing the English Channel" is the sixth episode of the 1930s CBS radio comedy series. After sightseeing in London in episode five, the Lockharts—our comedic American duo—now set off across the English Channel, likely bound for France. This episode would lean into the chaos of a 1930s sea crossing: think choppy waters, cramped ferries, and the Lockharts fumbling with foreign phrases or seasick antics. The humor might play on their cluelessness about European travel—maybe they pack absurdly, lose luggage, or bicker with a French passenger before even docking.  The English Channel, a short but iconic stretch, was a big deal for American tourists back then, often romanticized but ripe for mockery in a show like this. Without a precise date beyond 1930 or surviving audio, the details stay speculative—typical for early radio serials.

Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (05) Sightseeing in London

"Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (05) Sightseeing in London" is the fifth episode of the 1930s CBS radio comedy series. Following their arrival in England in episode four, the Lockharts—our hapless American travelers—now explore London’s landmarks. Expect classic 1930s humor: the couple likely stumbles through visits to places like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, or Trafalgar Square, with gags about foggy weather, double-decker buses, or misadventures with British customs—like mistaking a bobby’s helmet for a souvenir.  The show thrived on exaggerating cultural clashes for laughs, so picture the Lockharts getting lost, botching Cockney slang, or marveling at “strange” English habits. With no exact air date (just 1930) and few surviving recordings from that era, specifics like dialogue or plot twists are elusive without a script or audio relic.
