Morse mystery/thriller from his brief syndicated series "Adventures By Morse." This is "I Love A Mystery" on steroids. A dark, foggy mystery set in a graveyard, with Morse at his imaginative best.

IN THIS EPISODE: Accounts of haunted lighthouses have existed for hundreds of years. To many they are considered to be isolated and romantic. Some lighthouses are possibly haunted due to tragedies from shipwrecks or other horrors that have spawned all sorts of lighthouse lore. Some who have spent the night at a haunted lighthouse come away with stories to share such as seeing a former lighthouse keeper, or resident of the keeper's home. Could they still be present in some form after their death? Could keepers possibly remain behind to make sure no further tragedies occur at sea? Perhaps the worst fear of a lighthouse keeper, a ship wrecked upon the rocks, is why some lighthouses continue to be haunted by their former captains. Lights turning on, movement of objects, disembodied voices, and see-through specters are often reported within, or around older lighthouses. Are the ghosts of these souls still on duty? Modern-day tragedies at sea still occur and so do the ghosts that eventually haunt our world. If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don't have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might.YOUTUBE CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:03:48.724 = The Haunting Hour, “Case of the Lonesome Corpse” (year unknown)00:32:34.446 = Weird Darkness, “Owl's Head Lighthouse”00:37:09.463 = The Hermit's Cave, “The Story Without An End' (year unknown)01:02:16.472 = Weird Darkness, “The Tybee Lighthouse”01:04:37.900 = Mystery House, “Malice in Wonderland” (September 09, 1945)01:30:17.386 = Weird Darkness, “Currituck Beach Light House” and “The Presque Isle Lighthouse”01:36:55.408 = I Love A Mystery, “Eight Kinds of Murder” (June 30, 1941)02:07:23.285 = Weird Darkness, “Seul Choix Point Lighthouse” and “New London Ledge Lighthouse”02:13:00.950 = Incredible But True, “The Man Who Walked Behind” (year unknown)02:17:26.195 = Weird Darkness, “Point Lookout ”/“Heceta Head ”/“Seguin Island ” Lighthouses02:28:56.649 = Inner Sanctum, “Amazing Death of Mrs Putnam” (January 07, 1941)02:55:46.008 = Weird Darkness, “Fairport Harbor” / “White River” / “Big Bay Point Light” / “Plymouth” / “Battery Point” Lighthouses03:07:51.294 = The Key, “Alexis” (year unknown)03:35:23.602 = Weird Darkness, “Saint Augustine” / “Point Sur” / “St. Simon's Island” Lighthouses03:45:49.739 = Lights Out, “Uninhabited” (December 22, 1937)SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“St. Augustine's Haunted Lighthouse” by Jessica Ferri: http://bit.ly/2ZF0e6N“The Confederate Dead of Point Lookout Lighthouse” by Adam Karlin: http://bit.ly/2zpkmeb“Haunted Lighthouses” posted at AngelsGhosts.com: http://bit.ly/2ZsBJFD“Scariest Lighthouses Built In The United States” by Chelsey Dagner: http://bit.ly/2LcXc03Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

I Love A Mystery 39-10-23 01 The Thing That Cries In The Night
Today Jack is on the trail of the murderer, a radio actress, and the mysterious "They" that haunt the dark hallways of the Martin mansion. Listeners of the 1940s tried to match wits to uncover the identity of the murderer and slasher, along with adventurers Jack, Doc, and Reggie in this rare surviving serial from the elusive "I Love A Mystery."

I Love A Mystery 39-10-23 01 The Thing That Cries In The Night
Well, that brings our look at I Love A Mystery to a close, but there's no mystery about what people thought of the subject of our next Breaking Walls episode. Next time on Breaking Walls, we celebrate the holidays by going shopping with the one and only Jack Benny.
Although the serial went off the air in 1952, in May of 1954 a new audition record was produced for CBS in Hollywood. With Russell Thorson back in Los Angeles he carried over the role of Jack, with Ben Wright as Reggie, and Parley Baer as Doc. Parley Baer was most-known for playing Chester Proudfoot on Gunsmoke. CBS didn't pick up the series and I Love A Mystery went off the air for good.
Tony Randall was born Aryeh Leonard Rosenberg on February 16th, 1920 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He attended Northwestern University for a year before going to New York City to study under Sanford Meisner and choreographer Martha Graham. Randall worked as an announcer at WTAG in Worcester, Massachusetts. As Anthony Randall, he starred with Jane Cowl in George Bernard Shaw's Candida and with Ethel Barrymore in Emlyn Williams's The Corn Is Green. After serving with the U.S. Army Signal Corps in World War II, he came back to New York City. In 1946, Randall was cast in Katharine Cornell's revival of The Barretts of Wimpole Street. The following year in Antony and Cleopatra and in 1949 he appeared in Caesar and Cleopatra. Simultaneously, Randall found work in radio. Randall was twenty-nine and in New York when I Love a Mystery was revived. He originally auditioned for the part of Doc, but Carlton Morse felt he was better suited for Reggie York. As much as Randall loved I Love A Mystery, he wasn't a huge fan of many of the soap operas he appeared on.
Carlotta Mercedes McCambridge was born to farming parents in Joliet, Illinois on March 16th, 1916. She graduated from Mundelein College. McCambridge began her radio career in the 1930s first in Chicago, and then in New York while also performing on Broadway. In 1949 she made her film debut opposite Broderick Crawford in All the King's Men, for which she won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and the New Star of the Year. But no one who knew her was surprised. Orson Welles heralded McCambridge as the greatest living radio actress. Himan Brown almost never failed to cast her. Although she was an Academy Award winner, she was still a proud cast member of I Love A Mystery.
Thursday, November 24th, 1949 was Thanksgiving Day. It was clear and crisp in New York as Macy's put on its twenty-third annual parade. Floats included The Chef's Turkey Dinner, the Snowman, and Santa's Sleigh. Milton Berle guest-starred. WOR—Mutual aired Cornell vs. Penn at 1PM, Queen for a Day and Luncheon at Sardi's in the late afternoon, Gabriel Heater at 7:30, and I Love A Mystery at 7:45. By November of 1949, Russell Thorson was forty-three and Jim Boles thirty-five. They had a wealth of experience in both Chicago and New York radio. With radio in decline, both made their first TV appearances that year. Ford Motors intermittently sponsored roughly two out of every twenty I Love A Mystery episodes, but for the most part, Mutual picked up the financial tab for all three years of the New York run.
In the summer of 1949 NBC-TV approached Carlton Morse with the possibility of coming to New York to put One Man's Family on TV. Because the entire production would need to be re-cast, Morse had to audition a whole new group of actors. Mercedes McCambridge, who'd played on I Love A Mystery in Hollywood, was now working in New York and cast, while Russell Thorson was cast as Henry Barbour. Morse flew back and forth from New York to Los Angeles. On May 25th, 1949, Mutual Broadcasting presented an episode of The Family Theater called “The Man With a Plow.” Morse wrote and directed the episode from Hollywood. It was then that Morse had the idea of rebooting I Love A Mystery. Episodes would be recorded and transcribed, allowing actors with other commitments to take roles. Morse approached Thorson about starring and McCambridge about doing supporting parts. The cast soon rounded out with Jim Boles as Doc, and Tony Randall as Reggie. Morse received one-thousand dollars per week from Mutual to write the show, but rather than write new scripts, Morse simply re-recorded the original scripts with minor revisions and title changes. Russell Thorson and his wife helped Morse out with continuity. I Love A Mystery would re-debut over Mutual Broadcasting on October 3rd, 1949 at 7:45PM eastern time. The cast assembled a couple of times per week to record. Each show was recorded on sixteen-inch discs, airing on weeknights for fifteen minutes.
I Love A Mystery first took to the air Weekdays at 3:15PM on NBC's West-Coast network in January of 1939. Michael Raffetto starred as Jack Packard, head of the A-1 Detective Agency, with Barton Yarborough as Texan Doc Long, and Walter Paterson as the British Reggie Yorke. The three world travelers searched for action, thrills, and mystery. From the ghost towns of wind-swept Nevada, to the jungles of vampire-infested Nicaragua, they righted wrongs, rescued women, battled evil, and explored unknown parts of the globe. Morse utilized threatening elements: dark jungles, bizarre rituals, strange languages, sacred amulets, thick fogs. Three characters could be murdered in a single episode. There were ancient curses, hidden panels, piercing cries in the night, and the gathering of a diverse group of suspicious people, all of whom had secrets to hide. Jack Packard was once a medical student. He shrugged off superstition in favor of logic. Reggie Yorke was British and clever. Doc Long was a red-headed Texan. He defied the laws of chance and always had time for women. By that autumn it was airing nationally. The show ran from the west coast for five years, first over NBC's Red Network, then its Blue, and then CBS. The original I Love A Mystery run ended on December 29th, 1944. A 1945 film with its title starred Jim Bannon, Barton Yarborough, George Macready, and Nina Foch. Two more movies followed with Bannon and Yarborough followed in 1946. Morse recorded a new radio audition for ABC in May of 1945, but the show wasn't picked up again until it was briefly revived on ABC as I Love Adventure in the spring of 1948. It lasted thirteen weeks before going off the air.
We're going to stop here, but we're not even close to finishing with I Love A Mystery. Next time on Breaking Walls, while we spend Thanksgiving with Carlton E. Morse, Russell Thorson, Jim Boles, and Tony Randall, we utter a simple statement: Bury Your Dead, Arizona.

It ran for three more years, this time starring Russell Thorson, Jim Boles, and Tony Randall, as Thorson remembered. Jack Packard was a hero with quiet strength. Once a medical student, he shrugged off superstition in favor of logic. Reggie Yorke was educated, strong, and had the British stiff upper lip. Doc Long was a red-headed alley fighter from Texas who defied the laws of chance and loved women. Three characters could be murdered in a single episode. People were killed in ghoulish, imaginative, and sometimes mystifying ways. Throats were ripped out by wolves; there were garrotings, poisonings, and mysterious slashings. On Halloween, 1949, part one of a new story, “The Thing That Cries in The Night” aired over Mutual.

This week I am beginning a series of podcasts featuring the A-1 Detective team of Jack Packard and Doc Long - Carleton Morseâs intrepid detectives from I Love A Mystery. The series is not a complete one as there are very few complete runs of this adventure thriller series: A twelve part series called âThe Pirate Loot of the Island of Skullsâ? from 1942. Iâll be looking at Morse, the series and this serial adventure over the next few weeks.

Iâll be looking at Morse, the series and this serial adventure over the next few weeks.
ADVENTURES BY MORSE From January 16, 1939 to January 26, 1952, stories from the pen of Carlton E. Morse graced the airwaves. The main ones remembered are One Man's Family, I Love A Mystery, and Adventures by Morse. Adventures by Morse related the escapades of Captain Bart Friday and Skip Turner, two San Francisco private investigators. Friday was a no-nonsense type, raised in the California. Turner was quite a bit the lady's man, complete with a laconic Southern accent. Their occasional work for U.S. Military Intelligence takes them around the globe.
A look at the radio writing of John Dickson Carr, noted mystery writer from the forties who also wrote original radio scripts for Suspense and the BBC's Appointment With Fear. This week's episode is "Cabin B-13." The final episode of the I Love A Mystery serial "Temple of Vampires."
Two back-to-back episodes of the Carlton E. Morse thriller - Temple of Vampires - as promised. These are episodes 4 and 5. From the I Love A Mystery series! All Donations given this month will be divided among our hard working Podcasters. Merry Christmas to All
This week from I Love Adventure by the prolific Carlton E. Morse creator of One Man's Family and I Love A Mystery. This week's episode is The Kwan Moon Dagger!
