On March 31, 1940, Orson Welles and The Campbell Playhouse present Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontė.
Cast: Orson Welles (Mr. Rochester), Madeleine Carroll (Jane Eyre), Cecilia Loftus (Mrs. Fairfax),
Robert Coote (Mr. Brocklehurst), Serita Whooton (Young Jane), George Coulouris (the Innkeeper), 
Edgar Barrier (the Priest).  00:58:57 - 26.9 MB

Madeleine Carroll (Jane Eyre) played Pamela in Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps (1935) and
opposite Bob Hope in My Favorite Blonde (1942). 

Welles had previously adapted Jane Eyre for The Mercury Theatre on the Air broadcast of September 18,
1938, now lost because the recording was irreparably damaged in preparations for the film version of
Jane Eyre in 1943 (in which Welles repeated his role of Mr. Rochester.) Welles also played Mr. Rochester in
a later Lux Radio Theater version broadcast on May 6, 1944.

The 1943 film screenplay was written by John Houseman, Aldous Huxley, and Robert Stevenson. Stevenson
directed. Welles was an uncredited co-producer. The musical score was composed and conducted by
Bernard Herrmann, and the cinematography was by George Barnes. If the NY Times review by Bosley
Crowther is evidence, the film was not an initial success. Houseman asked to have his name removed
from the credits.

Welles and his sponsor Campbell parted amicably after the March 31st broadcast. When The Campbell
Playhouse returned to radio November 29, 1940, it was a 30-minute weekly CBS series - last broadcast
June 13, 1941.
