An hour-long of operetta and musical theater performances were presented on the weekly American radio show Chicago Theater of the Air. It debuted locally in May 1940 on Chicago's WGN radio, and from October 5, 1940, until September 11, 1954, it was broadcast nationally on the Mutual Broadcasting System as an unsponsored program.

WGN listener surveys revealed a large audience for opera and drama which led to the creation of the show. Each operetta lasted 60 minutes as part of the performance. Conductor Henry Weber originally provided the intermission commentary, and afterwards Chicago publisher Robert R. McCormick took over. Marion Claire Weber, the wife of Henry Weber, performed on the program for seven years.

The household was a brisk, cheerful, active one, and ruled by the spirit oforder necessary in a home where many different kinds of things are beingdone each day by its different inmates. The children were treated with noparticular indulgence, and the elder ones were taught to be responsible notonly for their own actions, but for the good behaviour, and, in a certainmeasure, for the education of the younger ones. As a girl she writes downin her diary many hopes and fears about her younger brothers and sisters,which resemble those afterwards awakened in her by the care of her ownchildren. A big family in a great house, with all the different relationsand contacts such a life implies, is in itself an education, and Lady Fannyseems to have profited by all that such experiences can give. If she camefrom such a home anticipating from everybody more loyalty and consistencyof feeling than is common in human nature, and crediting everybody with it,that is in itself a kind of generous severity of expectation which, thoughit may be sometimes the cause of mistakes, helps also to create in othersthe qualities it looks to find.

The children had plenty of outlets for their high spirits. There are someslight records left of the opening of a "Theatre Royal, Minto," and of aglorious evening ending in an "excellent country bumpkin," with bed at twoin the morning; of reels and dances, too, and many hours laconically summedup as "famous fun" in the diary. Then there were such September days asthis:

Of personal influences, her mother's, until marriage, was the strongest.There are only two long breaks in the diary she kept, when she had no heartto write down her thoughts; one occurs during the year of Lady Minto's longand serious illness at Berlin, which began in 1832, and the other afterLord John Russell's death in 1878.

The next entry quoted from Lady Fanny's diary, begun at the age offourteen, is dated November 22, 1830; the family were travelling towardsParis, matters having almost quieted down there. Louis Philippe had beenrecognized by England as King of the French the month before, and the onlyside of the revolution which came under her young eyes was the somewhatvamped up enthusiasm for the Citizen King which followed his acceptance ofthe crown and tricolor. It is said that any small boy in those days couldexhibit the King to curious sightseers by raising a cheer outside theTuileries windows, when His Majesty, to whom any manifestation ofenthusiasm was extremely precious, would appear automatically upon thebalcony and bow. But there were traces of agitation still to be felt up anddown the country, and over Paris hung that deceptive, stolid air ofindifference which is so puzzling a characteristic of crises in France.

Soon after their arrival at Berlin, Lady Minto fell dangerously ill. FromSeptember, 1832, there is a long gap in Lady Fanny's diary, for she had noheart to set anything down. This long stretch of anxiety coming when shewas sixteen years old, if it did not change her nature, brought to lightnew qualities which were to mark her character henceforward. There is alittle entry written down eight years afterwards on the birthday of hersister Charlotte which shows that she, as well as others, looked back onthis time as a turning-point in her life.

Many of the extracts from the diaries quoted in this chapter must be readin the light of the reader's own recollections of the process of gettingused to life. They show that if Lady Russell afterwards attained a happyconfidence in action, she was not in youth without experience ofbewilderment and doubts about herself. Following one another quickly, theseextracts may seem to imply that she was gloomy and self-centred duringthese years; but that was never the impression she made on others. Likemany at her age, when she wrote in a diary she dwelt most on the feelingsabout which she found it hardest to talk. Her diary was not so much themirror of the days as they passed as the repository of her unspokenconfidences. "Looked over my journals, with reflections," she writes later;"inclined to burn them all. It seems I have only written [on days] when Iwas not happy, which is very wrong--as if I had forgotten to be gratefulfor happy ones."

It was during the summer of this year, 1840, that she began to see more ofLord John Russell. She had met him a good many times at "rather solemndinner-parties," and he had stayed at Minto. She had known him well enoughto feel distress and the greatest sympathy for him when his wife died,leaving him with two young families to look after--six children in all,varying in age from the eldest Lister girl, who was fourteen, to Victoria,his own little daughter, whose birth in 1838 was followed in little morethan a week by the death of her mother. Lord John was nearly forty-eight.Hitherto he had been a political hero in her eyes rather than a friend ofher own; but, as the following entries in her diary show, she began now torealize him from another side.

After Lady John had recovered, they went down to Woburn, and later to staywith Lord Clarendon at The Grove. At both houses large parties wereassembled, and Greville notes in his diary that Lord John was in excellentspirits. "Buller goes on as if the only purpose in life was to laugh andmake others laugh," and he adds, "John Russell is always agreeable, bothfrom what he contributes himself and his hearty enjoyment of thecontributions of others."

On January 1, 1847, Lady John wrote in her diary that the year wasbeginning most prosperously for her and those dearest to her. "Within myown home all is peace and happiness." About a month later she becamedangerously ill in London.

During the next four years Lord John remained out of office. He devotedmuch time to literary work. Besides writing his "Life of Fox" and editingthe papers of his friend Thomas Moore, he delivered three importantaddresses. The first was a lecture on the causes which have checked moraland political progress. As will be seen from Lady John's diary, he wasstill so unpopular that she felt some dread of its reception at the handsof a large public audience.

When Garibaldi came to England in the spring of 1864, and received a morethan royal welcome, Pembroke Lodge was, naturally, one of the first houseshe visited. On April 21, 1864, Lady John writes in her diary:

In August, 1875, Lady Russell notes in her diary that her husband hadwritten a letter to the Times giving his support to the Herzegovinainsurgents. During the few years preceding 1876 he had become convincedthat the days of Turkish misrule in the Christian provinces must be ended.90He frequently spoke with indignation of the systematic murderscontrived by the Turkish Government and officials, and felt that the causeof the oppressed Christians deserved support, and that the time forupholding the rule of the Sultan as a cardinal principle in our policy hadpassed. He threw himself with the greatest heartiness into a movement forthe aid of the insurgents. Though in his eighty-third year he was the firstBritish statesman to break with the past and to bless the uprising ofliberty in the near East. In the following letter, written from Caprera onSeptember 17, 1875, the generous sympathy between him and Garibaldi foundfresh expression.

Lady Russell survived her husband nearly twenty years. From the time ofLord Russell's death in May, 1878, till 1890, she kept no diary, but notlong before her death she wrote for her children a few recollections ofsome of the events during those twelve years.

To retire more and more from the world of many engagements and importantaffairs was easy to her, easier than it proves to many who have figuredthere with less distinction. Playing a prominent part in that world doesnot make people happy; but, as a rule, it prevents them from beingcontented with anything else. It was not so with her; in the days mostcrowded with successes and excitements her thoughts kept flying home. Shehad always felt that a quiet, busy family life was the one most natural toher. When she was a girl at Minto, helping to educate her younger brothersand sisters, she had written in her diary:

In January, 1890, after nearly twelve years' break in her diary, LadyRussell began writing again a few words of daily record. On the 6th shementions a "most agreeable" visit from Mr. Froude; the same day shereceived Mr. Justin McCarthy to dinner, and adds that the talk was "moreShakespeare than Ireland."
