Radio and big screen star Frank Lovejoy makes his final appearances on Suspense in a pair of shows where he plays characters both scary and sympathetic. First, he's a man with an unhealthy fixation on his Army buddy's wife in "Friend of Daddy's" (AFRS rebroadcast from May 17, 1959). Then, his wife is going into labor when their car breaks down on the Hollywood Freeway in "Ivy is a Lovely Name" (originally aired on CBS on June 21, 1959). Plus, we'll hear him as a con man in "Windfall" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on May 5, 1947) and as Chicago reporter Randy Stone in "The Night is a Weapon" from Night Beat (originally aired on NBC on February 13, 1950).

We say goodbye to Herbert Marshall - one of the most frequent guest stars on Suspense. Marshall logged twenty appearances on "radio's outstanding theatre of thrills" between 1944 and 1959. He also starred in the 1940 audition show that helped to get Suspense a slot on the schedule. We'll hear him in a pair of those shows - an adaptation of Wilkie Collins' "The Dead Alive" (originally aired on CBS on March 9, 1953) and "The Long Shot," the story of a very deadly road trip (AFRS rebroadcast from February 9, 1958). Plus, we'll hear Marshall in his own radio series as The Man Called X - a debonair, globetrotting secret agent - in a pair of adventures (originally aired on NBC on January 13, 1951 and February 17, 1951).

Drama: Broadway Playhouse “The Secret Agent” 5/16/48 AFRS.

Today we are bringing you a new find; a “lost” episode of Duffy's Tavern from November 23, 1945. This is the Armed Forces Radio Service version. That means, because the Armed Forces did not allow advertising on their stations, the commercials were edited out and music filler put in to round the program out to a half-hour. Because of the difference in network and government practices, many missing radio shows only survive thanks to the work of AFRS. In this “lost” episode, Duffy's is struggling, leading Archie (Ed Gardner) to concoct a contest in which patrons must write why they like eating at the tavern, with a $5 prize for the winner. The episode features characters such as Eddie (Eddie Green), Miss Duffy (Sandra Gould), Officer Clancy (Arthur Q. Bryan), and Finnegan (Charlie Cantor).

Tony Barrett was a very busy radio actor, with recurring and regular roles on The Adventures of Frank Race, Defense Attorney, and Tales of The Texas Rangers. He could also be heard in guest spots on all sorts of mysteries, westerns, and dramas. Barrett went on to a long and successful career as a writer, where - among other things - he developed the classic 60s/70s cop show The Mod Squad. We'll hear him in four of his starring turns on Suspense, beginning with "Give Me Liberty" (AFRS rebroadcast from March 29, 1955) where he's a fugitive trying desperately to lose a pair of handcuffs. Then he's a murderer who's recognized by a high school classmate in "Remember Me?" (AFRS rebroadcast from May 3, 1955). In "Over the Bounding Main" (AFRS rebroadcast from June 21, 1955), he tries to survive a boat trip from hell, and in "The Flame" (originally aired on CBS on May 29, 1956), he plays a pyromaniac who tries to put his skills to work and help a friend.
