This was a live hour-long dramatic anthology series that appeared every other week (alternating with Armstrong Circle Theatre (1950)) on NBC's Tuesday night schedule, debuting 3 July 1956 and last broadcast on 18 June 1957. During its relatively brief run, the series managed to attract such notable actors as Paul Newman (in the series' initial episode), Robert Culp, Hume Cronyn, Ralph Bellamy, 'Franchot Tone', Claude Rains and Kim Hunter.
