The American radio drama series "Let George Do It" aired from 1946 to 1954. It was the brainchild of Owen and Pauline Vinson. Bob Bailey was the star of the show, playing the role of George Valentine, a private investigator. In 1954, Olan Soule took over the voice role. David Victor and Jackson Gillis wrote the scripts, and Don Clark directed them.Initially, the episodes were more like sitcoms, with a live studio audience and laughs, but they eventually transformed into suspenseful private eye stories. The program was sponsored by Standard Oil of California, now known as Chevron. It aired on the West Coast Don Lee network of the Mutual Broadcasting System from 1946 to 1954. In its final season, it was also broadcast in New York on Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m.Clients would reach out to George Valentine after reading his classified ad in the newspaper, which said something like, "Danger's my thing. If you can't handle the job, I'm your guy. George Valentine. Give me all the details!" The ad would change from episode to episode, but it always started with "Danger's my thing" and ended with "Give me all the details!"George Valentine was a professional detective, and his secretary was Claire Brooks, also known as Brooksie. Frances Robinson, Virginia Gregg, and Lillian Buyeff voiced Brooksie at different times. As Valentine went about his detective work, he'd sometimes run into Brooksie's little brother, Sonny, played by Eddie Firestone, or the elevator man, Caleb, voiced by Joseph Kearns. Police Lieutenant Riley, played by Wally Maher, was a frequent guest. In the early episodes, Sonny was George's assistant, but later became a less regular character.The show's announcer was John Hiestand. The background music was initially provided by Eddie Dunstedter and his full orchestra, but as television took over as the main source of home entertainment, radio budgets got tighter, and Dunstedter's orchestra was replaced by an organ, which he also played.

On this week's episode of “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio, we delve into the mysteries of two riveting detective shows. First, we feature “Philo Vance” in “The Poetic Murder Case,” originally aired on August 24, 1948. In this episode, the suave detective Philo Vance, portrayed by Jackson Beck, finds himself entwined in a puzzling case when a renowned poet is found dead. The poet's demise is as dramatic as his verses, involving cryptic clues that only Vance's deductive prowess can unravel. The episode also stars Frances Robinson as the quick-witted secretary Ellen Deering and George Petrie in the role of the beleaguered District Attorney Markham, alongside a skilled supporting cast that brings the smoky, suspense-filled 1940s to life. Next, we shift gears to the swinging sixties with “Walk Softly, Peter Troy” in the episode “The Champagne Doll,” which first hit the airwaves on March 10, 1964. Detective Peter Troy, voiced by the charismatic Don McCorkindale, investigates the mysterious disappearance of a fashion model known for her association with high society and expensive tastes in champagne. The plot thickens with intrigue and danger as Troy uncovers the darker side of the glitz and glamour. Supporting McCorkindale, June Spencer plays the sassy assistant Julie, and Horace Sequiera adds depth as Inspector Caswell, each character weaving their own thread into this complex tapestry of suspense. Together, these episodes from “Philo Vance” and “Walk Softly, Peter Troy” provide a captivating look back at the golden age of radio detective stories, offering listeners a double dose of deduction, charisma, and the thrill of the chase. Join us for a nostalgic trip into the heart of mid-century mystery, where the truth is as stylish as the era itself.

Mutual Radio, Don Lee Network December 25, 1950. Let George Do It was an American radio drama series produced from 1946 to 1954 by Owen and Pauline Vinson. Bob Bailey starred as private investigator George Valentine; Olan Soule voiced the role in 1954. Don Clark directed the scripts by David Victor and Jackson Gillis. George Valentine was a professional detective. Valentine's secretary was Claire Brooks, a.k.a. Brooksie (voiced by Frances Robinson, then by Virginia Gregg, and then by Lillian Buyeff). As Valentine made his rounds in search of perpetrators, he occasionally encountered Brooksie's kid brother, Sonny (Eddie Firestone) or elevator man Caleb (Joseph Kearns). Police Lieutenant Riley (Wally Maher) was a more regular guest. For the first few shows, Sonny was George's assistant, given to exclamations such as "Jeepers!" but he was soon relegated to an occasional character. John Hiestand was the program's announcer.

Frances Robinson asks, "Has Christ ever spoken to you about "Do not be deceived?" I had never heard that term before nor have I ever heard the expression until I read it before the "Ask Nadia" on Friday's "I Dig Your Soul Podcast." So I looked it up and found a lot of information. So why was I not ever spoken to about this and what could it mean? Tune in and join in on the conversation tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM PT/ 8:30 AM ET!

Episodes typically open with a client visiting or calling cash-strapped Diamond's office and agreeing to his fee of $100 a day plus expenses, or Diamond taking on a case at the behest of his friend and former partner, Lt. Walter Levinson. Diamond often suffers a blow to the head in his sleuthing pursuits.

Levinson was played variously by Ed Begley, Arthur Q. Bryan, Ted DeCorsia, and Alan Reed. Helen was played by Virginia Gregg and others. Another regular cast member included Wilms Herbert as Walt's bumbling sergeant, Otis, who also "doubled" on the show as Helen's butler, Francis.

Richard Diamond - Serial 4, Episode 61 - 80 Title: Richard Diamond, Private Detective Overview: Richard Diamond, Private Detective is an American detective drama, created by Blake Edwards, which aired on radio from 1949 to 1953, and on television from 1957 to 1960. Dick Powell starred in the Richard Diamond, Private Detective radio series as a wisecracking former police officer turned private detective. Episodes typically open with a client visiting or calling cash-strapped Diamond's office and agreeing to his fee of $100 a day plus expenses, or Diamond taking on a case at the behest of his friend and former partner, Lt. Walter Levinson. Diamond often suffers a blow to the head in his sleuthing pursuits. Most episodes end with Diamond at the piano, singing a standard, popular song, or show tune from Powell's repertoire to his girlfriend, Helen Asher, in her penthouse at 975 Park Avenue. Levinson was played variously by Ed Begley, Arthur Q. Bryan, Ted DeCorsia, and Alan Reed. Helen was played by Virginia Gregg and others. Another regular cast member included Wilms Herbert as Walt's bumbling sergeant, Otis, who also "doubled" on the show as Helen's butler, Francis. Many of the shows were either written or directed by Edwards. Its theme, "Leave It to Love", was whistled by Powell at the beginning of each episode. It began airing on NBC Radio on April 24, 1949, picked up Rexall as a sponsor on April 5, 1950, and continued until December 6, 1950. With Camel cigarettes as a sponsor, it moved to ABC from January 5, 1951, to June 29, 1951, with Rexall returning for a run from October 5, 1951, until June 27, 1952.

“Dear Mr Valentine, I’m a freshman at Western State University. I’m majoring in botany and I’ve suddenly found out that flowers can smell of murder. My professor of botany is about to be killed. Several attempts have been made on him but nobody takes me seriously. I’m sure I’m not imagining things so give me a chance to tell you the whole story. . . Louise Doraine” Duration: 29:31 Starring: Bob Bailey, Frances Robinson, Wally Maher Broadcast Date: 1st November 1948
It’s only natural for a member of the bird watchers society even when he’s a professional statistician like Dr. Wormsley to be watching starlings on a penthouse roof. But when instead his binoculars reveal one man pushing another off that self same roof that is just sort of the case George valentine would get involved in.

Man Hunt was a 15-minute crime drama anthology. The scripts ran twelve and a half minutes, so as to allow stations to insert their own commercial messages and announcements in the remaining two and a half minutes. Starring Larry Haines and featuring Florence Robinson, the series was introduced and narrated by Maurice Tarplin. Tarplin's portentous opener for each episode went something like this: "No crime has been committed . . . . . yet. No murder has been done . . . . . yet. No manhunt has begun . . . . . yet. " Having instilled a sense of foreboding in the listener, the script would launch into the dramatic exposition necessary to frame the ensuing plot. Each episode posed a crime puzzle of one kind or another--usually a murder under impossible conditions. Larry Haines portrays Andrew 'Drew' Stevens, a police lab forensic detective and Frances Robinson portrays his secretary--and love interest--Patricia 'Pat' O'Connor. Homicide Detective Sergeant Bill Morton is Stevens' local police contact. The format is tight by mystery standards of the era. The introductory exposition usually provides enough intrigue to involve the listener. Generally twelve minutes in length, the scripts necessarily contained enough exposition to explain or advance the plot. "Manhunt" was probably an unfortunate title for the series' premise. The series of plots didn't involve manhunts as much as crime puzzlers, such as the classic 'sealed room' murders so much the fashion in detective fiction. The real twist of this series is the forensic angle. Drew Stevens, as the Head of the Police Laboratory, is a forensics expert. And indeed, the circulating exemplars contain an entertaining collection of interesting forensic puzzles. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sherlock Holmes Radio Station Live 24/7 Click Here to Listen https://live365.com/station/Sherlock-Holmes-Classic-Radio--a91441 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Celebrate Valentine's Day with two old time radio adventures of George Valentine as he invites clients facing danger to Let George Do It. Bob Bailey is George with Frances Robinson as his loyal secretary Brooksie in "The Seven Dead Years" (originally aired on the Mutual-Don Lee network on September 25, 1948) and "Mayhem by Experts" (originally aired on the Mutual-Don Lee network on January 31, 1949).
Bob Bailey stars in this Thanksgiving show from 1950. Show ran from 1946-54 with Bailey as PI George Valentine. Olan Soule played the role in 1954. The hook for the program is that clients would come to George Valentine in response to a newspaper ad that read: "Personal Notice: Danger's my stock in trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you've got a job for me. George Valentine" Claire Brooks, aka Brooksie, is Valentine's secretary (played by Frances Robinson, Virginia Gregg and Lillian Buyeff). Brooksie's brother, Sonny (played by Eddie FIrestone), Lieutenant Riley (played by Wally Maher) and an elevator man... Caleb (played by veteran actor Joseph Kearns) are all in the supporting cast. Show was heard on various days during the run... Fridays, Mondays, and Wednesdays at 9:30 pm. Always a good listen! More in our "Detective" playlist and also in the "Thanksgiving" playlist for this particular episode. Thanks for listening.
For our annual Halloween special, we're spotlighting radio sleuths doing battle with the (seemingly) supernatural. First, it's "The Ghost on Bliss Terrace" from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on August 16, 1948) with Bob Bailey and Frances Robinson. Then, Vincent Price is Simon Templar in "The Ghosts Who Came to Dinner" from The Saint (originally aired on NBC on April 8, 1951).
What do Philo Vance, George Valentine, Richard Diamond, and John J. Malone have in common? They all romanced – and were frequently assisted by – Frances Robinson. The busy and talented actress was a mainstay on radio crime dramas, and her performances gave us some of the genre’s all-time great partners in crime. We’ll hear her in “The Elusive Hundred Grand” from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on April 18, 1949); “The Pop Skoals Case aka The Blind Man and the Cop Killer” from Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on NBC on February 26, 1950), and in “Murder in Mind” from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on April 16, 1950).

The Challenge Tree was a way that our lives was described to me and since I heard how it works in our lives it gave me the patiences to allow for processes and growth in my own life. How did that happen and what makes thinking this way work in daily life? Tune in and Join in on the Conversation Tomorrow Morning at 5:30 AM, PST!

Enterprising ex-GI George Valentine embarked on a career as a troubleshooter for hire with a newspaper ad offering his services for any job - no matter how dangerous. From 1946 to 1954, clients in trouble decided to Let George Do It. Bob Bailey stars as George, with Frances Robinson as his girl Friday Brooksie, in "Death in Fancy Dress" (originally aired on Mutual on December 27, 1948) and "The Motif is Murder" (originally aired on March 14, 1949).
Let George Do It - Bob Bailey played George Valentine as a detective handy man, who got his jobs from responses to a newspaper ad.
