Doc Barclay's Daughters is an American old-time radio soap opera. It was broadcast on CBS from January 23, 1939, to January 19, 1940.[1]
Format
Despite his nickname, Doc Barclay was actually a druggist in Brookdale.[1] The daughters referred to in the title were all grown women. Connie, the oldest, had returned home after a failed marriage to a "millionaire playboy."[2] Mimi, the middle daughter and wife of a clerk at a hardware store, resented Connie's affluence. Marge, the youngest and unmarried, kept house for her father and was more stable than her sisters.[2]
The series was one of many created by the husband-and-wife team of Frank and Anne Hummert.[2] It was sponsored by Personal Finance Company,[3] a loan service firm.[4]
