If you would like to obtain an audio cassette copy of this radio show, I suggest that you visit Jerry Haendiges' website: The Vintage Radio Place. He has an enormous collection of old time radio shows, including Madame San-Genes, and will make dubs at a very nominal cost.

The cast rehearses: Robert Taylor, Jean Harlow, Claude Rains and C. Henry Gordon
