          Peggy Webber appeared in only one episode 
of radio Gunsmoke, and only one of tv Gunsmoke, 
but there are about two hundred other radio roles that remain 
for her fans to appreciate.  



          Peggy Webber's most delightful and outrageous performance 

can be found in the Have Gun-Will Travel episode  'Bad Bert,'  
where she plays British dowager Lady May.  
She is given great lines, and she renders them perfectly.  
          Previous to this role, Webber had already 
been practicing her talent for playing old lady characters 
in the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar episodes 
'Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnel Trump'  and  
'The Meek Memorial Matter.'




          Peggy Webber and Parley Baer pull off perfect performances 
in the February 17, 1950  Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar episode 
about Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnel Trump, 
an old couple who intend to commit suicide 
so the insurance money can be used to re-people the world via snakes 
after a cataclysm.  

          Watch out for the in-joke when Mr. Trump 
refers to his reptilian plan:  
          "According to the Meston theory as set down in 1903."  



          The Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar episode  'The Dead First Helpers' 
contains a scarily real performance by Peggy Webber 
as the wife and widow of a steel mill worker driven to murder.  
Webber's voice glows with hard life, grief, and accusation 
in this surprisingly socially conscious episode.  



          Check out the Romance episode  'The China Run,'  
where Peggy Webber has the lead role as Jane West, 
a young woman who refuses to be refused her dream 
of captaining a sailing ship.  
          Adventure, romance, and a female character 
with grit, sand, and pluck.
