Paul Rhymer(1905-1964)
- Writer
Paul Rhymer was considered one of the outstanding American humorists
during the 1930s and 40s, when his "Vic and Sade" radio series was the
premiere daytime serial, one based on humor and not melodrama. In 1936,
"Vic and Sade" was named the best-written program on radio. Two years
later, radio writers voted Rhymer as best script writer and in 1940 the
Motion Picture Daily said the program was the best daytime serial.
Rhymer wrote more than 3,500 scrips for the series, and could count
Upton Sinclair, James Thurber, and Ray Bradbury among his fans.
