    GUNSMOKE ! By GORDON BUDGE f you had lived in Dodge City in I the 1870’s, Matt Dillon-the fic- tional Marshal of CBS Radio and TV’s Gunsmoke-would have been just the sort of man you would like to have for a friend. The same holds for his sidekick, Chester, and his special pals, Kitty and Doc. They are down-to-earth, ‘good and honest people. That one word “honest” is, to a great extent, responsible for the success of Gunsmoke on both radio and TV. It best describes the sto- ries, characters and detailed his- torical background which go to make up the show. Norman Macdonnell and John Meston, Gunsmoke’s producer and writer, are the two men who created the format and guided the show to its success (the TV version has topped the Nielsen ratings since June, 1957)) and the show is a fair reflection of their own characters: Producer Macdonnell is a straight- forward, clear-thinking young man of forty-two, born in Pasadena and raised in the West, with a passion for pure-bred quarter horses. He joined the CBS Radio network as a page, rose to assistant producer in two years, ultimately commanded such network properties as Sus- pense, Escape, and Philip Marlowe. Writer John Meston’s checkered career began in Colorado some forty-three years ago and grass- hopped through Dartmouth (‘35) to the Left Bank in Paris, school- teaching in Cuba, range-riding in Colorado, and ultimately, the job as Network Editor for CBS Radio in Hollywood. It was here that Meston and Macdonnell met.
