The Adventures of Maisie

The Manicurist

English · Radio, Humor

Maisie Ravier is a quick-witted, independent showgirl whose travels and search for work lead her into comic scrapes. Played by Ann Sothern, Maisie meets an assortment of people and finds ways to talk herself through trouble, often relying on her confidence, charm, and street smarts.

The radio series brings Maisie’s adventures to life as a light comedy, with Sothern at the center of the action. The stories draw on her life on the road and the everyday complications of finding jobs, dealing with strangers, and making the best of unexpected situations. This recording is titled “The Manicurist.”

Maisie’s lively personality gives the show its buoyant, conversational feel. Her humor and resourcefulness make the series an easygoing listen, balancing comic misunderstandings with the appeal of a capable heroine who can usually find her footing.
