Mr. President was one of early ABC's most popular network-sustained programs and was produced out of ABC's key station KECA in Hollywood.

July 24th 1947 Racine Times spot article promotes the new Mr. President radio series over ABC.

Lovely Radio legend Betty Lou Gerson appeared as Mr. President's personal secretary, 'Miss Sarah'

Background

From the July 16th 1947 edition of the Oakland Tribune:

John Crosby lede

"I'm telling you, Mannie, it's a natural. Everybody is telling his life story on the air these days. All those ex-cops and wardens and Jolson and even, now and then, Jessel. But who is the biggest guy of all? I'm not asking you, Mannie, I'm telling you. It's the President of the United States. Everybody has got a sneaking desire to be President. It may be only for a couple hours. So naturally everybody is interested in the guys who held the job. And look, Mannie, we don't have to pick out any one President. We've got our choice of all thirty-two of 'em."
I have no idea whether that conversation ever took place; I'm just trying to reconstruct the crime in my own way. Sooner or later one of the deeper thinkers in radio was bound to discover the Man in the White House and, I'm afraid, it has come to pass, yea verily, on the American Broadcasting Company (8:30 p.m. Thursdays). The name of the program is appropriately "Mr. President." The Chief Executive is played by Edward Arnold, who must have spent the last 30 years preparing for this situation, and, as indicated above, he's not just one of them; he's all of them.

HA! A QUIZ!

Each program is an episode in the life of one of the Presidents and we are asked to guess which one it is. A quiz even. I tell you this show has everything. Next week they'll likely work in a band and a couple of singers. I guessed the identy of President No. 1 more by accident than anything else. Let's see if you can too. Take it away, Mr. President.

A reporter burst, unannounced and uninvited, into the President's study. "It's highly irregular," sniffed the secretary. ("It's highly improbably," I sniffed right back at her.) "Mr. President," said the young man, "I've never had a White House assignment before, I think I have a big story. I have information that leads me to believe you have cancer."

"That's correct, Colby," said the President gravely. He explains his predicament. The country is in the midst of the longest and worst depression in history. The silver crowd, led by the Vice-President, who is severly bitten by Presidential ambitions, wants to deflate the value of money by pegging it to silver. The President, a sound money man, is battling every inch of the way and winning. But if the news got about that he had cancer . . . well, heavens knows what Congress would do. Peg money to copper, maybe molybdenum. WIth the fate of the nation at stake, the reporter pledges himself to secrecy until an operation is performed.

SAVED! SAVED!

To keep his condition a secret, the deed is done at sea. "While you're operating, I'll be thinking of my message to Congress," says Mr. President. That may not be the funniest line ever written, but it's well up there. The operation is a success and the President returns just in the nick of time to prevent the gold standard from coming unhinged. The President was Grover Cleveland and the time was 1893. Accordint to the announcer, all this really happened and the reporter (real name Holland) printed the story but no one believed it.

Naturally, the story is padded out with local color, of which the White House provides plenty. The Secretary of State is likely to drop in to remonstrate; the Vice-President calls up every three minutes or so to denounce; and occasionally breathless young men of dubious occupations rush in and announce that the Reading Railroad has gone into bankruptcy. As Mr. President, Arnold has everything either the Democrats or Republicans could ask for. He has majesty, gravity, kindliness, humor, integrity, charm, shrewdness, foresight and an overwhelming air of omniscience.

WHAT A MAN

Also he's a real man of the people if ever there was one. Why, right in the middle of the longest and worst depression in history, he went down in the kitchen and had supper with the cook. Corned beef and cabbage, it was. "Why landsy me, Mr. President," trilled the cook, flustered naturally. "I hope you'll like the way it's fixed." If that doesn't bring in the Irish vote, nothing will.

I have a hunch, based on common sense rather than any great fund of historical information, that all these stories will be essentially true but jazzed up beyond all recognition. Also, some instinct tells me all the Presidents are going to glitter with integrity. "The interests of my country are far more important than my own," they will say, every last one of them. "Even if this should mean my political ruin, I shall continue on this course, Mr. Secretary. Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead." Once a week the nation will be on the brink of disaster and at 8:30 Pacific Standard Time, the President--sick as he is, begat by personal problems, hounded by members of his own party, maligned by members of the opposite party, misunderstood even by his own family--will rise in the full height and thunder forth.

"No."

And as for material, why landsy me, the history books are full of it. The private life of Warren G. Harding alone could carry the series single-handed through a full season.

From the July 20th, 1947 edition of the Dallas Morning News:

Radio In Review
Republicans,
Democrats
Please Note
By Fairfax Nisbet

     While the Democratic and the Republican party chiefs cudgel the old gray matter to a beat-up pulp on the question of a good candidate for the presidency in 1948 they would do well to ponder the qualifications of a certain gentleman.

     We have just the man for the job of standard bearer. And i they're skeptical just let them tune in on the American Broadcasting Company's "Mr. President" any Thursday evening (WFAA-WBAP-570, at 8:30 pm.).
Our candidate for Candidate No. 1 is Edward Arnold, also of the films. In this drama show he plays the chief executive every session. nd not just a mythical President but the actual White House tenant. The Stories are supposed to be known incidents in the lives of American Presidents and they have the ring of authenticity, though there's a lot of coloring matter used to make a pretty picture.

     But going back to this Arnold, he's a man to get the votes coming and going. He's kindly, witty, modest, brave, honest, sees all sides of a question. He thinks quickly, has a ready quotable answer on all topics, yet one that will not put him in the soup with any group, and he's democratic too, treats the help just like folks. All of course in the course of enacting Presidents from 1 to 32.

     Gee, fellows, better think it over, and remember time is growing short, and what with this guy's radio and film commitments, you'd better get in your bids pronto.

From the October 11th, 1947 edition of the Winona Republican Herald:

'Mr. President'

Recalls Visit

With Truman

Hardly ever does an actor have the privilege of familiarizing himself with his fictional radio surroundings in real life. Not so Edward Arnold, who plays radio's Mr. President, broadcast Thursday's at 9 p.m., over ABC-KWNO.

Arnold has known four presidents--Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. His knowledge of the White House constantly is being brought into play during rehearsals when, for example, sound effects call for a door or a knowledge of how large a room is for echo purposes. At such times, Arnold is apt to say, "Well, there were 75 of us there yesterday and it didn't seem crowded"--or "There can't be any footsteps there, because the whole place is carpeted.

During a recent visit to the White House, Arnold presented Mr. Truman with the famous Pach Collection of Presidents. The collection includes photographs of all 332 presidents assembled over the years by Pach Brothers, who were started in their photographic business by President Grant and have photographed every U.S. president since his time. As no photographs of Presidents before Lincoln were available, great care was taken to photograph the portrait which, according to experts, was the best likeness of each earlier president. Because of this, the collection is regarded as an outstanding contribution to historical documents.

During this personal meeting, Mr. President and Mr. Truman swapped historical anecdotes about U.S. chief executives. Mr. Truman recalled that Chester K. Arthur once sold all the White House furniture. Recently, Mr. Truman discovered two of the chairs which originally had belonged to Lincoln in the attic of the Treasury building, had them repaired and returned to the White House.

The president in this case, of course unnamed, uses the power of his office to straighten out the senate on the whys and wherefores of federal appointments. By taking advantage of certain constitutional provisions "Mr. President" proves conclusively that federal appointments should be made by the president and no by state political machines. Without tryng to be corny, it has always been my opinion that an honest politician is one who is on the right side, and a dishonest one is generally an unfortunate who picked the wrong political horse. Politics is like tht. It all depends on the point of view. 47-08-21 Wisconsin State Journal 7:30 p.m.--Mr. President (WENR): Edward Arnold in story of patronage war. 47-08-24 Abilene Reporter-News When Edward Arnold, heard in the title role of ABC's Mr. President every Thursday evening, was on his vacation last week near San Francisco, he met Herbert Hoover, former chief executive.

48-07-11	56	Title Unknown	N	48-07-11 Wisconsin State Journal WENR 12:30 Mr. President 48-07-16 Lubbock Evening Journal ACTOR Edward Arnold, who plays the President on a KFYO program called "Mister President," read some lines not long ago that might well be repeated here and elsewhere. Arnold, as the President of the U.S., was discussing with another person the appointment of a third man to a high government office. The man with whom Arnold was talking objected to the individual under discussion on the grounds that deep in the past the prospective appointee had been sharply criticised for some of his actions. The answer of the "President" was something like this: "I never accept a man's past as evidence of his present character reputation. There is not one of us who, in the past, has not made mistakes, or who has not done things of which he is both ashamed and sorry." Although men and women must be judged to some extent by the records they have written for themselves--and although it is true to some extent that what a person has done once, he might be expected to do again--there is a great deal of sound philosophy in the statement by the radio program's "President." As the program pointed out, the admonition "let him among you who is without sin cast the first stone" is always a good one to remember whether it be in discussion of a political appointment, consideration of an individual for a job, or in any other dealings between human beings.
