Six Shooter - Serial 1, Episode 1 - 20 Title: The Six Shooter Overview: The Six Shooter is a United States western old-time radio program starring James Stewart as a gunfighter. It was created by Frank Burt, who also wrote many of the episodes, and lasted only one season of 39 episodes on NBC (Sept. 20, 1953–June 24, 1954). Initially, it was broadcast on Sundays at 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time, through October 11. Then it was heard at 8:30 p.m. for three weeks. Finally, on November 8, 1953, through March 21, 1954, it was broadcast Sundays at 8 p.m. Beginning April 1, 1954, through the final episode it was on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. One old-time radio directory called the program "a last, desperate effort by a radio network (NBC) to maintain interest in adventure drama by employing a major Hollywood movie star in the leading role." Stewart starred as Britt Ponset, a drifting cowboy in the final years of the wild west. Episodes ranged from straight western drama to whimsical comedy. A trademark of the show was Stewart's use of whispered narration during tense scenes that created a heightened sense of drama and relief when the situation was resolved. Each episode opened with the announcer (Hal Gibney; John Wald in later episodes) stating: "The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl, its handle unmarked. People call them both 'the Six Shooter'." The haunting theme music was "Highland Lament", arranged by series composer Basil Adlam and written by British film composer Charles Williams. Jack Johnstone was the producer-director for NBC Radio, in association with Revue Productions.

A woman is found murdered in a closet and the trail leads to a freighter in San Francisco.  Commentary on Peter Leeds, June Whitley and our host Hal Gibney.

Well, Bob had a busy weekend (see the previous two episodes), but now, Monday night is here again and we're back to the shorter, ten minute segment on air. The guys from Saturday's gig are back (Ray Sherman on piano, Ralph Collier on drums, and Judy De Naut on bass), but tonight we get yet another staff announcer to make like funny with the gags and sidling up to Margo (this time it's Hal Gibney). Our format is familiar, and in fact all of the tunes had been played on air before, but without question, Bob's enthusiasm brings fresh perspective, and solos, to each. First off, after our "Sweet Georgia Brown" intro, the quartet plays "Coca Roca". Margo comes in and sings "Who Wouldn't Love You". We get to hear Bob's voice again, introducing "Perdido". Margo returns for "Always True To You" before the quartet saunters out on Bob's interpolation of "Lady Be Good". Short but indeed sweet!

The Six-Shooter. January 3, 1954. Britt meets a killer in a narrow canyon who tells a very believable story. Hal Gibney explains that the program's theme is called, "Highland Lament" and is not available on record.

Dragnet was a long-running radio and television police procedural drama about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects. Dragnet debuted inauspiciously. The first several months were bumpy, as Webb and company worked out the program’s format and eventually became comfortable with their characters (Friday was originally portrayed as more brash and forceful than his later usually relaxed demeanor). Gradually, Friday’s deadpan, fast-talking persona emerged, described by John Dunning as "a cop's cop, tough but not hard, conservative but caring." (Dunning, 210) Friday’s first partner was Sgt. Ben Romero, portrayed by Barton Yarborough, a longtime radio actor. When Dragnet hit its stride, it became one of radio’s top-rated shows. While most radio shows used one or two sound effects experts, Dragnet needed five; a script clocking in at just under 30 minutes could require up to 300 separate effects. Accuracy was underlined: The exact number of footsteps from one room to another at Los Angeles police headquarters were imitated, and when a telephone rang at Friday’s desk, the listener heard the same ring as the telephones in Los Angeles police headquarters. A single minute of "A Gun For Christmas" is a representative example of the evocative sound effects featured on "Dragnet". While Friday and others investigate bloodstains in a suburban backyard, the listener hears a series of overlapping effects: a squeaking gate hinge, footsteps, a technician scraping blood into a paper envelope, the glassy chime of chemical vials, bird calls and a dog barking in the distance. Scripts tackled a number of topics, ranging from the thrilling (murders, missing persons and armed robbery) to the mundane (check fraud and shoplifting), yet "Dragnet" made them all interesting due to fast-moving plots and behind-the-scenes realism. In "The Garbage Chute" (15 December 1949), they even had a locked room mystery. TODAY'S SHOW: "Helen Corday Murdered With Pipe" (7-07-49) and "The Big Fraud" (10-27-53) July 7, 1949. Program #5. NBC network. Sustaining. A well liked waitress named Helen Corday has been murdered with a steel pipe. The suspect's name is Larson. Jack Webb, Barton Yarborough, Raymond Burr. 29:25.
