Ann Blyth performed on radio many times. Here Ann stars in an episode of the program Proudly We Hail, which was a production of the U.S. Army Recruiting Service that ran from 1946 to 1957. The program produced comedies, dramas, musical episodes, and included promotional spots for U.S. Army recruitment.
Ann appears in "There's No Escape," a suspense story released for broadcast April 17, 1949. The shows were "transcribed," meaning they were not performed live, but rather recorded on a disk in the studio, as you may infer from the image of the record label above.
The episode can be heard or downloaded from the Internet Archive website, or have a listen here on YouTube:
