 He decided to create his own doctor character for radio, and since he was a Hans Christian Andersen enthusiast, he borrowed that name for his character of the philosophical Dr. Paul Christian who practiced in the Midwest town of River's End with the assistance of Nurse Judy Price.With the opening theme music of "Rainbow on the River", "Dr. Christian" was introduced on CBS on 7 November 1937 on "The Vaseline Program", or "Dr. Christian's Office" and later "Dr. Christian".The small-town physician's good humor, innate common sense, and scientific training helped drive off a series of villainous types who tried to interfere with the peaceful lifestyle of River's End.
