Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers The man you just heard is Hans Conried. In late 1943 he was thirty-six years old and all over radio. When Suspense moved to Hollywood, Conried quickly became part of William Spier's trusted circle of character actors, often playing more than one part. Conried honed his craft in the 1930s. To Bill Spier's credit, he did his best to allow them the time to have parts on other shows. Spier's rehearsals were known for their loose atmosphere. He selected the best radio actors to be part of the Suspense troupe. This circle included Wally Mayer, Jeannette Nolan, Joseph Kearns, John McIntire, and Lurene Tuttle. Lurene Tuttle later worked with Spier on The Adventures of Sam Spade. Spier had a habit of purposely going into a broadcast with a script that was a minute or two long so the actors were forced into high tension. Spier wouldn't allow a studio audience. He placed the orchestra behind a screen, out of sight of the cast so that the actors could better concentrate on their performance. Suspense found sponsorship in the fall of 1943 with Roma Wines. The show moved to Thursdays at 8PM eastern time. The first sponsored episode was called “The Black Curtain” and starred Cary Grant. It's the first time listeners heard both the phrases “A tale well calculated to keep you in Suspense” and “radio's outstanding theater of thrills.” Uniquely, West Coast and Mountain time would get a separate broadcast on Monday December 6th. This broadcast split would continue until September of 1944. The next month on January 13th, 1944 Lucille Ball starred in an episode called “Dime a Dance.” The script was based on a story by Cornell Woolrich and adapted by Bob Tallman. Tallman wrote scripts in a single day with edits done in the hour between rehearsal and broadcast. Thirty-two and a seasoned film actress, in 1944 Ball began to carve out a second career on the radio. She appeared on Duffy's Tavern, Abbott & Costello, and The Screen Guild Theater. In “Dime a Dance” she plays a dancer in a hall. A serial killer is targeting young women. Her character, Ginger Allen, gets involved in tracking the killer down. This episode's rating was 8.5. Roughly six million people tuned in. For more info on Lucille Ball's radio career, tune into Breaking Walls episode 100.

Enjoy two detective episodes of Sam Spade A) 6/20/48 The Deathbed Caper w/ Howard Duff B) 9/12/48 The Lazarus Caper w/ Howard Duff The detective character, Sam Spade, was created by Dashiell Hammett for his crime novel “The Maltese Falcon.” Spade was a hard-boiled detective with cold detachment, a keen eye for detail and unflinching determination to achieve his own justice. The character is most closely associated with Humphrey Bogart who played Sam Spade in the third and most famous film version of “The Maltese Falcon.” In 1946, one of radio's top producers (William Spier) brought Sam Spade to CBS radio starring newcomer Howard Duff with Lurene Tuttle (and occasionally Sandra Gould) as Spade's secretary, Effie Perrine and sponsored by Wildroot Cream Oil. Duff took a considerably more tongue-in-cheek approach to the character than the novel or movies. Dashiell Hammett lent his name to the radio series but had little involvement. In 1947, scriptwriters Jason James and Bob Tallman received an Edgar Award for Best Radio Drama from the Mystery Writers of America. Howard Duff starred as Spade until November of 1950 when Steve Dunne took the role.
