Amanda of Honeymoon Hill is a 15-minute daily radio soap opera produced by Frank and Anne Hummert.
It then moved to CBS, airing at 10:30 a.m. until 1943 when it was heard at 11 a.m.[3] The story followed the travails of the beautiful Charity Amanda Dyke Leighton (Joy Hathaway), who lived on Honeymoon Hill in Virginia with her husband, wealthy Southerner Edward Leighton (Boyd Crawford, George Lambert, Staats Cotsworth).
[citation needed] Dot was portrayed by Linda Watkins, and Helen Shields had the role of Sylvia Meadows.
Organist Ann Leaf supplied the program's background music, and the opening theme was Stephen Foster's 1854 tune, "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair."
[citation needed] Anne Hummert unintentionally scripted a prominent double meaning into the show's opening, and this amused many since it was heard for years without change, as described by George Ansbro in his book, I Have a Lady in the Balcony: The program was sponsored by Cal-Aspirin, Haley's MO, Phillips Milk of Magnesia, Phillips Toothpaste, Ironized Yeast and Mulsified Cocoanut Oil Shampoo.
