Oscar Bradley(1889-1948)

  • Music Department
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Oscar Bradley was the musical director for the Gulf Screen Guild Show, beginning with its radio premiere in January 1939. The series featured noted Hollywood actors who donated their time for the establishment of a home for retired actors. Bradley stayed on through the name change to the Gulf Screen Guild Theater until January 1942, when Gulf Oil Corporation's sponsorship ended and Lady Esther continued the series. Besides providing orchestral interludes, Bradley and his group often played a part in the skits. Because of his diminutive size (this researcher has been unable to uncover just how short he really was), Oscar Bradley was the willing butt of jokes made weekly by the visiting stars, though his come-back lines were equally witty.
