    EPISODE DESCRIPTION
    Death Has A Thirst (Aired May 8, 1943)

    The Whistler was one of radio's most popular mystery dramas, with a 13-year run from May 16, 1942 until September 22, 1955. If it now seems to have been influenced explicitly by The Shadow, The Whistler was no less popular or credible with its listeners, the writing was first class for its genre, and it added a slightly macabre element of humor that sometimes went missing in The Shadow's longer-lived crime stories. Writer-producer J. Donald Wilson established the tone of the show during its first two years, and he was followed in 1944 by producer-director George Allen. Other directors included Sterling Tracy and Sherman Marks with final scripts by Joel Malone and Harold Swanton.

    THIS EPISODE:

    May 8, 1943. CBS network. "Death Has A Thirst". Sustaining. A triangle affair trapped on a desert island. Madness and alcoholism rampant. See cat. #45141 for a different production of the same script, produced a year earlier. About two minutes are missing from the middle of the recording. J. Donald Wilson (writer), Wilbur Hatch (composer, conductor). 29:20.

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION
    Breakdown (Aired June 12, 1945)

    The program appears to have aired sustained for its first three months, with three to five sponsors beginning to make an appearance with Program #17, "The Mystery of The Seven Keys" of December 28, 1943. There is a circulating program titled "Homicide for Hannah", that should have been the first Molle Mystery Theatre, but there is no provenance anywhere that the initial program ever actually aired. This is the first circulating program in which we hear the program refer to itself as Molle Mystery Theatre. But throughout its NBC run, we hear sponsorship by Ironized Yeast, Energene, Bayer Aspirin, Sterling Drug, and Molle. To its everlasting credit, NBC clearly went to great lengths to promote the script titles, performers and authors of each program to the nation's newpapers. From 1943 through 1948, Mystery Theatre was one of the most well documented and promoted radio programs of its time. Show Notes From The Digital Deli.

    THIS EPISODE:

    June 12, 1945. Program #104. NBC network origination, AFRS rebroadcast. "Breakdown". A confused English drama about a man planning to murder his mistress, or his wife, or both? AFRS program name: "Mystery Playhouse." Martin Gabel, Ian Martin, Roc Rogers, Robert Bloch (author), Howard Duff (AFRS host).

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION
    The Secret Word Is Paper (Aired January 14, 1955)

    The mid-1940s was a depressing lull in Groucho's career. His radio show Blue Ribbon Town, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, which ran from March 1943 to August 1944, had failed to catch on and Groucho left the program in June 1944. After a radio appearance with Bob Hope, in which Marx ad-libbed most of his performance after being forced to stand by in a waiting room for 40 minutes before going on the air, John Guedel, the program's producer, formed an idea for a quiz show and approached Marx about the subject. After initial reluctance by Marx, Guedel was able to convince him to host the program after Marx realized the quiz would be only a backdrop for his contestant interviews, and the storm of ad-libbing that they would elicit. PLUS BONUS CONTENT: The segment that inspired You Bet Your Life: Groucho and Bob Hope on The Walgreens Hour.


    THIS EPISODE:

    January 14, 1955. Syndicated, WNEW-TV, New York audio aircheck. "The Secret Word Is Paper". Participating sponsors. The first contestant is Frank Farber. Syndicated rebroadcast date: April 7, 1975. Groucho Marx, George Fenneman (announcer), Jack Meakin (music), Frank Farber. 29:48.

    Spiral Staircase (Aired November 25, 1949)

    From 01/09/49 to 09/28/51 this series was greatly enjoyed by the radio listening audience. It opened as NBC Theater and was also known as The Screen Director’s Guild and The Screen Director’s Assignment. But most people remember it simply as Screen Director’s Playhouse. Many of the Hollywood elite were heard recreating their screen roles over the radio. John Wayne in his rare radio appearances, Cary Grant, Edward G. Robinson, Lucille Ball, Claire Trevor, Tallulah Bankhead and many others were on the air week after week during these broadcasts. Many of Hollywood’s directors were also heard in the recreation of their movies. The President of the Screen Director’s Guild appeared on 02/13/49, and Violinist Isaac Stern supplied the music for the 04/19/51 broadcast.

    THIS EPISODE:

    November 25, 1949. NBC network. "The Spiral Staircase". Sustaining. A fine Gothic suspense mystery, well adapted for radio. Dorothy McGuire, John Dehner, Steve Dunne, Jane Morgan, Jimmy Wallington (announcer), Robert Siodmak (screen director).
