Summary

Fort Laramie presents “Still Waters,” episode 38 of the CBS radio drama, originally broadcast October 14, 1956. Raymond Burr stars as Captain Lee Quince in this Kathleen Hite script, produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell. When a visiting Committee for Moral Improvement bans beer sales at the fort, the new policy quickly affects the sutler’s canteen, the regimental band, and morale throughout the post. With Vic Perrin, Jack Moyles, and Howard McNear, this dryly comic frontier story finds Quince weighing reform against the practical realities of Army life. Fort Laramie presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
