&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;ROMANCE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Theater of Romance&lt;/i&gt; ran on the CBS network as a filler show between 1943 and 1957. It substituted from time to time for such shows as &lt;a href="http://www.archive.org/details/OTRR_Certified_Gunsmoke" rel="nofollow"&gt;Gunsmoke&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Life with Luigi&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Lux Radio Theater&lt;/i&gt;, and many others. Producers, directors, and actors changed constantly through the years. Even the locale changed from New York to Los Angeles in 1945.

&lt;i&gt;Romance&lt;/i&gt; featured such stars as Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Gregory Peck, Shirley Temple, and many other Hollywood stars, often binding the story lines with the films in which the stars were currently being featured. The themed stories often revolved around historical fiction as well, and broadcast before a live audience.

As the series progressed, the writing and stories improved. So even though it was only a filler show, it gained a faithful listening audience, making it almost as popular as the &lt;i&gt;Lux Radio Theatre&lt;/i&gt;. And, as good romances should have, it nearly always had a happy ending.

&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;OTRR Definitions:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;OTRR Certified Accurate&lt;/b&gt; -- A series that is &lt;i&gt;Certified Accurate&lt;/i&gt; indicates that all the episodes are properly identified and labeled but that the series does not contain all known extant episodes.

&lt;b&gt;OTRR Certified Complete&lt;/b&gt; -- A series that is &lt;i&gt;Certified Complete&lt;/i&gt; is the highest level of certification available under the OTRR Certified Standards.  This certification level implies that all the files in the series are &lt;i&gt;Certified Accurate&lt;/i&gt; but also indicates that the series is as complete as possible – it includes all extant episodes.

&lt;b&gt;OTRR Non-Certified&lt;/b&gt; -- A collection of shows that has not gone through the OTRR Certification process.

&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;i&gt;NOTE:  There are no passwords for any of our ZIP files. If you are prompted for a password, before downloading the file again, try unzipping the file into a shorter full folder path name -- for example, unzip to "C:\" instead of "C:\Documents and Settings\your_Windows_ID\some_other_folder\".  Sorry, some of our releases contain long folder and file names, which sometimes manifests itself on the Windows platform as prompting for a password for the ZIP file.  Or try renaming the ZIP file itself to a shorter name before unzipping.&lt;/i&gt;
