Happy Mother's Day! We're celebrating moms with five old time radio mysteries where they play major roles. In “The Case of the Lucky Shilling,” Sherlock Holmes comes to the aid of a woman whose son is wiped out by a crooked gambler (originally aired on Mutual on January 14, 1948), and George Valentine tries to prove that a woman is not an unfit mother in “Problem Child” from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on June 21, 1948). A woman hires Dan Holiday to prove her son's death wasn't an accident in “Suicide or Murder” from Box 13, and the mother of an escaped convict wants Richard Diamond to send her son back to prison (originally aired on NBC on October 4, 1950). Finally, the cops of Dragnet are on the trail of a serial shoplifter who only steals clothes for children in “The Big Little Mother” (originally aired on NBC on October 6, 1953).

In honor of April Fool's Day, our radio detectives this week have to contend with some practical jokes and jokers that are anything but funny. Dr. Watson is enlisted to pull a prank on Sherlock Holmes in "The April Fool's Day Adventure," starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce (originally aired on Mutual on April 1, 1946). Dan Holiday tries to find a deranged jokester before his antics turn deadly in "Death is No Joke" from Box 13. A fake will reading turns into a real crime scene as Philip Marlowe hunts for a killer in "The Last Laugh" (originally aired on CBS on April 2, 1949), and Detective Danny Clover has to find out who killed a celebrated prankster in "Laugh-a-Minute Tyler" from Broadway is My Beat (originally aired on March 14, 1953).

This week on “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio, we delve into two thrilling episodes from the golden age of radio dramas. First up, "Box 13" features Hollywood's Alan Ladd in “The Philanthropist,” originally aired on January 30, 1949. In this intriguing episode, Dan Holiday, an author and adventurer who uses newspaper ads to find inspiration for his stories, receives a letter prompting him to investigate a seemingly benevolent man with a dark secret. Alan Ladd stars as Dan Holiday, with Sylvia Picker as his resourceful secretary Suzy, and Edmund MacDonald playing the role of the suspicious philanthropist. This gripping tale of mystery and deceit is not to be missed. Following that, we bring you “Dick Tracy” in the episode titled “Black Pearl of Osirus,” which first broadcast on February 8, 1938. The fearless detective Dick Tracy, portrayed by Bob Burlen, embarks on an international adventure involving the theft of the mythical Black Pearl of Osirus. Tracy's quest to retrieve the stolen artifact sees him clash with a diverse cast of characters, including Junior, played by Jackie Kelk, and the villainous Moloch, voiced by Ned Wever. Tune in as Dick Tracy navigates through perilous traps and deceitful alliances to secure the ancient treasure. Together, these episodes from "Box 13" and "Dick Tracy" offer a nostalgic trip into the thrilling escapades and cunning mysteries that captivated listeners in the era of classic radio dramas. Join us for a night of intrigue and adventure on “Tuesday Night Detectives.”

In this week's episode of “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio, we dive into the thrilling worlds of deception and mystery with two classic radio dramas. First up, we revisit "Rocky Fortune," featuring the smooth-voiced Frank Sinatra as the ever-charming and witty Rocky. In the episode “The Football Fix,” originally aired on February 2, 1954, Rocky stumbles upon a scandalous plot to rig a college football game. Employed as a locker room attendant, he quickly finds himself tangled in a web of bribery and threats. The episode features Barney Phillips as the sly coach Simmons, and Georgia Ellis as the intrepid reporter Janet, whose zeal for the truth leads her right into danger. Following "Rocky Fortune," we continue with “Box 13,” starring the iconic Alan Ladd as the adventurous Dan Holiday, a writer who finds inspiration through the classifieds. In the episode “The Professor and the Puzzle,” first broadcast in 1948, Holiday is drawn into a cerebral game when he receives a cryptic note challenging him to solve a puzzle that's stumped a professor. His journey to unravel the mystery is fraught with peril, testing his wits to the utmost. The cast includes Sylvia Picker as the astute and determined Professor Helen Ashby, and Ed Begley as the cunning antagonist Mr. Granger, who has much to gain from the professor's failure. Together, these episodes showcase the allure of detective radio drama, featuring star-studded casts and gripping narratives that continue to captivate audiences decades after their original broadcasts.

Actor Alan Ladd was born 110 years ago this month, and we're celebrating his life and career with four of his old time radio appearances. He plays mystery writer and amateur gumshoe Dan Holiday in "Diamond in the Sky" and "The Professor and the Puzzle," a pair of syndicated adventures from Box 13. Plus, he recreates his big screen role (and reunites with Veronica Lake) in The Blue Dahlia from The Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on NBC on April 21, 1949) and he steps into the shoes of Walter Neff in Double Indemnity from Hollywood Star Time (originally aired on CBS on June 22, 1946).

In this bonus show, I'm opening the mail and picking out my five favorite episodes of Box 13. Alan Ladd stars as mystery writer and amateur detective Dan Holiday who finds his clients - and his story ideas - through a clever classified ad offering his services as an adventurer for hire. First, Holiday is hired to pose as a fiance in "Look Pleasant, Please" and he's pressed into a citywide scavenger hunt alongside a killer in "The Better Man." He works to save an innocent man from execution in "Hunt and Peck" and expose a cadre of crooked gamblers in "Much Too Lucky." Finally, a weekend getaway lands Holiday in the middle of a bitter family reunion and a series of dangerous practical jokes in "Death is No Joke."

Box Thirteen starring Alan Ladd, originally broadcast June 26, 1948, Speed to Burn. Why shouldn't a 1938 jalopy with a British tank engine go one hundred miles per hour? Also Lum and Abner, originally broadcast June 26, 1935, Squire gets out of bed. Squire Skimp is feeling better today...so much improved that he's visiting a lawyer at the county seat!I'm done fighting with my doctors. A variety of health issues have led me to a decision that I hoped I wouldn't have to make for a couple of more years.Classic Radio Theater will end June 30, 2023.I want to thank everyone who made this show possible over the years. I know it's only about three weeks for stations to make alternate programming arrangements, but it's a choice that I had to make. I'm nearing 70 years of age, and the grind of producing these shows is just too much.It has been my honor and pleasure to serve you these past eight years.#Classic-Radio #Old-Time-Radio #Crime #alan-ladd #Box-Thirteen #Comedy #Lum-and-Abner

"Adventure wanted -- will go anywhere, do anything -- Box 13." The premise of the program was that Dan Holiday was an author who wrote mystery novels. To get ideas for his novels he placed an advertisement in a newspaper saying "Adventure wanted, will go anywhere, do anything, Box 13." The ads always brought fun adventures of all kinds: from racketeer's victim to psychotic killer looking for fun. Most of the episodes were based on Dan Holiday replying to a letter he received at Box 13. He would generally solve a mystery in the process, and return to his office in time to enjoy a hearty laugh at the expense of Suzy, his amusingly stupid secretary. He would certainly not meet the strictest requirements for private eyes (not licensed, collected no fees from clients), but the definition should stretch to sneak him in under the rope. In total there were 52 episodes of this radio program created. It was heard over the Mutual Broadcasting System as well as being syndicated. The series was produced by Mayfair Productions. Box 13, starring Alan Ladd as Dan Holiday. Sylvia Picker played Suzy, Dan Holiday's secretary and Edmond MacDonald as Lt. Kling. Other stars in the series were Betty Lou Gerson, Lurene Tuttle, Alan Reed, Luis Van Rooten, John Beal and Frank Lovejoy. Music was by Rudy Schrager and the writer was Russell Hughes. Announcer/Director was Vern Carstensen. The series was produced by Richard Sanville with Alan Ladd as co-producer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Our thanks to Kaj for sending us down to the Listener Library for the debut episode of a show we haven't checked out yet, "The First Letter" from Box 13! The series features Alan Ladd as Dan Holiday, a writer who has posted an ad seeking adventure! In this first installment, a woman asks for help to rid herself of a blackmailer. How did this woman end up in such a dilemma? Will Holiday's judgment be better or worse than the characters he writes about? Will Mr. Deus Ex Machina suddenly arrive with a third question? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Each of these old time radio detectives earned their livings as writers. They only dabbled in crimesolving on the side because it was their hobby or because real-life mysteries provided inspiration for their work. We'll hear Glenn Langan as mystery writer and police consultant Barton Drake in "The Coin Collector Mystery," a syndicated episode from Mystery is My Hobby.  Then, Alan Ladd is Dan Holiday - newspaperman turned novelist and amateur adventurer - in "Hare and Hounds" from Box 13. And we'll close with Frank Lovejoy as Chicago reporter Randy Stone in "The Girl in the Park" from Night Beat (originally aired on NBC on February 27, 1950).
