Joseph Schildkraut Presents was an anthology television series on the DuMont Television Network starring stage and screen actor Joseph Schildkraut.

Broadcast history

The series aired from October 28, 1953 to January 21, 1954. The series originally aired Wednesdays at 8:30pm ET, and moved to Thursdays at 8pm ET for the last three airdates, January 7, 14, and 21.[1][2] The original contract with DuMont called for 26 episodes, with Schildkraut hosting all 26, and acting in 14 episodes. The series was cancelled after 13 episodes had aired.[3]

This series is often confused with Personal Appearance Theatre which aired on ABC in the 1951-52 season and on which Schildkraut was also featured. The UCLA Film and Television Archive has some episodes of this earlier series.

Episode status

The UCLA Film and Television Archive lists seven episodes in its collection. However, only one (November 18, 1953) is from the DuMont series. The others are from the earlier ABC series Personal Appearance Theatre (1951-52), which also starred Schildkraut, and which may have also aired on DuMont stations.
