On this week's "Tuesday Night Detectives" on Vintage Classic Radio, we bring you two gripping detective stories from the golden age of radio. First, the brilliant Belgian sleuth, Hercule Poirot, returns in "Trail Led to Death", originally broadcast on November 11th, 1945. When a reclusive antique dealer is found murdered in his London shop, Poirot must untangle a series of cryptic clues, including a rare Roman coin and a suspicious ledger entry. With Captain Hastings at his side, Poirot follow a trail that leads from dusty relics to a web of betrayal buried in the past. Harold Huber stars as Hercule Poirot, with co-stars including Santos Ortega, Florence Robinson, and Howard Smith.Next, we join the debonair detective duo Nick and Nora Charles in, "The Case of the Moon Murder" aired November 25th, 1945, on "The Adventures of the Thin Man". While attending a glamorous party at an observatory, the Charlese's are drawn into a case involving a missing astronomer and a murder that takes place under the light of a full moon. As they probe the high-society suspects and scientific secrets, Nick and Nora discover that even the most glittering social circles can cast dark shadows. Les Tremayne stars as Nick Charles with Claudia Morgan as the ever-witty Nora. Supporting the case are Parker Fennelly, Betty Lou Gerson, and Leon Janney, brining charm and suspense to this stylish whodunit. Join us for a night of classic deduction and unforgettable radio drama.

At 10:30PM eastern time on NBC's WEAF, The Bob Crosby Show took to the air in New York with the just-heard Les Tremayne as co-host and Shirley Mitchell as the special guest. This episode's rating was 13.8. Earlier this evening, Shirley Mitchell played Leila Ransom on NBC's The Great Gildersleeve. Opposite The Bob Crosby Show, The Adventures of The Thin Man took to the air on CBS. Based on the 1934 film starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, both Les Tremayne and Les Damon at times co-starred with Claudia Morgan as Nick and Nora Charles. Nick Charles was a retired private eye who just couldn't stay away from murder. The Thin Man gave its listeners all the censor would allow. Morgan cooed invitingly: she mouthed long, drawn-out kisses and kidded Nicky-darling about his outlandish pajamas. One critic strongly objected to the “oohhs” and “aahhs” and “mmmm's'' during kisses. But as feminine and cozy as Claudia Morgan played Nora, LIFE noted that “she can step across pools of blood with all the calm delicacy of a lady-in-waiting.” Parker Fennelly played Sheriff Ebenezer Williams. The rating for this episode was 16.1. Roughly twelve million people tuned in.

Introduction audio gives a general background of the series which lasted for 9 years. Claudia Morgan (photo) played Nora Charles and in this episode David Gothage played Nick Charles... a husband and wife team who seemed to get involved in every crime that was happening. The "Charles" had a terrier dog named "Asta" (See photo :) This show is a rebroadcast of an Armed Forces Radio Broadcast via shortwave to our troops overseas during WW II... This show will be housed in the "Crime-Mystery" playlist.

With Valetine's Day right around the corner, we're celebrating with three crimesolving couples from the golden age of radio. First, in "A Crime to Fit the Punishment" from The Mollé Mystery Theatre, an amateur sleuth and his girlfriend investigate a strange case of blackmail (AFRS rebroadcast). Next, it's another adventure of the Duke and Duchess from Murder By Experts - the locked room mystery "The Unseeing Witness" (originally aired on Mutual on September 26, 1949). Finally, we'll hear Les Damon and Claudia Morgan as Pat and Jean Abbott - an insurance investigator and his sharp-eyed wife - in "The Fabulous Emerald Necklace" from The Adventures of the Abbotts (AFRS rebroadcast).

In 1934 Chicago was the center for radio production. Writer and director Wyllis Cooper created a program for NBC affiliate WENR that drastically altered the tone of horror. Cooper had been writing advertising copy in the late 1920s when he entered radio, working first as a continuity editor, then for NBC's Empire Builders. His idea was to offer listeners a late-night terror program, at a time when other stations were mostly airing music. It emphasized crime thrillers and the supernatural. The first series of shows were fifteen minutes and ran on Wednesdays at midnight to local audiences. It was called Lights Out. In April, the series expanded to a half-hour. The following year, it went national. Cooper stayed on until 1936 when he left to write film scripts in Los Angeles. He wrote The Phantom Creeps and The Son of Frankenstein before returning for the final season of The Campbell Playhouse on CBS and The Army Hour on NBC. Then in the Spring of 1947 a new opportunity arose in New York. Quiet Please debuted on Sunday June 8th, 1947 at 3:30PM over the Mutual Broadcasting System. Quiet Please elevated the genre to high art. For the weekly lead, Cooper cast Ernest Chappell, The Campbell Playhouse announcer. He proved a natural, playing Scotsman, oil riggers, drunks, and archaeologists. They were every-men who got tied up in the otherworldly. Few supporting voices could be afforded or deployed. Those few were part of New York radio's elite like Frank and Claudia Morgan. The cast was told to play it straight. It resulted in an almost dream-like study in horror, like on October 27th, 1947 when Quiet Please presented “Don't Tell Me About Halloween.” In March of 1948, CBS executive Davidson Taylor sent an internal memo expressing his interest in purchasing the Mutual-sustained series for CBS. Taylor had a keen eye for talent, but nothing materialized. Quiet Please shifted to ABC in September of 1948, but never found sponsorship and went off the air on June 25th, 1949.

Three crimesolving couples take the stage this week, beginning with Pam and Jerry North who find a new mystery as soon as they get home from vacation. Joseph Curtin and Alice Frost star in "Wheel of Chance" from Mr. and Mrs. North (originally aired on CBS on June 9, 1953). Next, the Abbotts discover a new mystery on a voyage to London. Les Damon and Claudia Morgan play Pat and Jean in "The Dead-White Lifeboat," an Armed Forces Radio Service rebroadcast of The Adventures of the Abbotts. And finally, ex-cop turned private eye Johnny Duke and his wife Susan (aka "Duchess") have a case drop into their laps in the back of a taxi in "Two Can Die as Cheaply as One" - a story from the anthology series Murder by Experts (originally aired on Mutual on April 17, 1950).

Join host, Carl Amari, for a thrilling re-broadcast of The Thin Man. Featuring vocal talent by Les Damon and Claudia Morgan.First appearing in movie theaters in 1934, The Thin Man featured a slightly more seductive tone compared to other detective works from the period. Thus in turn, The Thin Man was promptly banned in Canada, as the sexy references between Detective Nick Charles and his beautiful wife Nora Charles violated the Canadian film code. However, in 1941 the film was eventually adapted into a radio series that was broadcast on all four major networks during the years 1941 to 1950.Originally airing 07/06/1948, be sure to gather around the fireplace as we unravel the slightly seductive mystery in "The Adventure of the Passionate Palooka," with Detective Nick Charles!Enjoying The Film Detective?You can watch this episode here.Or connect with us here:FacebookInstagramTwitterYouTubeWant even more?

As the United States entered March 1954, U.S. officials announced a successful hydrogen bomb test, while four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire in the House of Representatives chamber. Five were wounded. On March 9th, Edward R. Murrow's news team produced a CBS See It Now episode, “A Report on Senator Joseph McCarthy." They used excerpts from McCarthy's own speeches to point out his contradictions. Murrow and head of CBS News Fred W. Friendly paid for the program's marketing. CBS wouldn't allow the team to use the company logo. The broadcast provoked thousands of letters, telegrams, and phone calls to CBS headquarters. They ran fifteen-to-one in favor of Murrow's sentiment. McCarthy went on the program to reject Murrow's criticism. He said, “Ordinarily, I wouldn't take time out from important work to answer Murrow. However, in this case I feel justified because Murrow is a symbol, a leader, and the cleverest of the jackal pack that's always found at the throat of anyone who dares to expose individual Communists and traitors.” The rebuttal served only to further decrease McCarthy's already fading popularity. However, his Army hearings were set to convene on March 16th. They would help emphasize the fact that the United States of America, like the radio industry itself, was during this year, in a state of turmoil. Unlike Howard Hughes though, tonight we will talk about it. ——————————————————————————— Airing weekdays at 2:15PM over WCBS in New York was Perry Mason. The show debuted on October 18th, 1943. Mason was a crime-busting lawyer. It often featured the just-heard Mandel Kramer. On March 1st, Mason, who was voiced by John Larkin, and Della Street, voiced by Claudia Morgan, wondered who was behind an underworld syndicate. While Perry Mason's directors were men like Carlo DeAngelo and Carl Eastman, women were as likely to be in the mid-day director's chair as men, and they often exuded confidence that put fear into young radio actors. By 1954 Mason's cast had greatly expanded. On radio, he was as much a detective as a lawyer. The version Raymond Burr played on TV was markedly different. The radio version of Perry Mason ran until December 30th, 1955. Mandel Kramer could be seen starring in The Edge of Night.

The Right to Happiness began as an experiment. Series creator Irna (ERNA) Phillips liked to cross-plot characters from one of her soaps into another. The Right to Happiness began by following the troubled Rose Kransky from The Guiding Light. It became the story of Carolyn Allen, much-married heroine of Chicago radio. Known as ‘Queen of the Soaps', Irna Phillips' creations included The Guiding Light and As The World Turns. In her writing, she focused on the psychological realism of her characters and introduced many of the soap opera motifs – such has cliff-hanger endings. Ms. Phillips wrote the serial until 1942, when she sold it to Procter & Gamble. P&G moved it to New York, with a new lead: Claudia Morgan. Ms. Morgan was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1911 to actors Ralph Morgan and Grace Arnold. Actor Frank Morgan was her uncle. Airing at 3:45PM Eastern Time over NBC, In December of 1947, The Right To Happiness was the most-listened to daytime soap opera on radio, and the only one to post double-digit ratings nationally. Roughly nine million people spent their Christmas Day tuning in.

On October 31st, 1948 at 4:35PM from WNBC in New York, Living 1948 took to the air with a drama called “Let’s Sit This One Out” focused on registered voters who don’t vote. Living 1948 was conceived as a “radio mirror” of contemporary U.S. life. The shows ranged from surveys, to dramatic histories, to commentaries. Hosted by Ben Grauer, it featured some of New York’s best radio actors like Art Carney, Alexander Scourby, Claudia Morgan, Marilyn Erskine, and Barry Thomson. CBS taking note, launched The People Act to rival the program. By late 1948, their network competition was in its third decade.

Pat Abbott is hired to investigate the death of a man in a car wreck on Locust Avenue last night. He went right off the road, over a rocky cliff. He was alone in the car and wasn't speeding as the speedometer was smashed at 32 miles per hour. The insurance company, California Fidelity, thinks it was caused by a fault in the car as it had been recently purchased, but Pat Abbot suspects murder...

Two of old time radio's crime solving couples are on hand to mix marriage and mayhem in a pair of mysteries. First, Richard Denning and Barbara Britton are amateur sleuths Mr. and Mrs. North in "Too Late to Die" (an Armed Forces Radio Service rebroadcast of a show originally aired on CBS on December 15, 1953). Then, Mandel Kramer is private eye Pat Abbott and Claudia Morgan is his wife Jean in "The Gentleman in the Nile Green Suit" from The Adventures of the Abbotts (an Armed Forces Radio Service rebroadcast of a show originally aired on NBC on May 29, 1955).

Nick and Nora Charles - Dashiell Hammett’s husband and wife detective duo from The Thin Man - charmed readers and later moviegoers with their flirtatious and funny approach to cracking a case of murder. In 1941, Nick and Nora moved radio in The Adventures of The Thin Man. This blend of comedic banter and crime-solving was a long-running hit with listeners, and it ran on radio for nearly a decade. We’ll hear Les Damon as Nick and Claudia Morgan as Nora in “The Case of the Wandering Corpse,” originally aired on CBS on October 10, 1943.

Frances Crane's married sleuths Pat and Jean Abbott brought their colorful capers to radio in The Adventures of the Abbotts. Pat is a private eye by trade, but she proves herself a very adept amateur as she joins him on his cases. We'll hear Claudia Morgan and Mandel Kramer as the Abbotts in "The Canary-Blonde Heiress," an Armed Forces Radio Services rebroadcast of an episode aired on NBC on May 15, 1955.

The final entry into my look at women radio detectives. This week is an example of the many husband and wife detective teams that appeared on radio. Others included Adventures of the Thin Man, Mr. & Mrs North, Itâs a Crime, Mr. Collins and Front Page Farrell. This weekâs series used characters from the pen of Frances Crane in which Jean Abbott is a much stronger detective than she was portrayed on radio. Claudia Morgan (right) and Les Damon starred as Jean and Pat Abbott.
