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.

In the early episodes, Sonny was George's assistant, but later became a less regular character.The show's announcer was John Hiestand.

First up, join the suave Sam Spade, in "The Adventures of Sam Spade" for the "Fairley Bright Caper", originally aired on October 31st, 1948. In this gripping episode, Sam Spade, portrayed by Howard Duff, navigates the deceitful web woven by the seductive Fairley Bright, played by Lurene Tuttle. Spade is hired to track down a missing millionaire, but the case quickly spirals into a dangerous game of cat and mouse involving betrayal and hidden motives. The episode also features key performances by John McIntire as Lieutenant Dundy and Wally Maher as Spade's loyal but often flustered secretary, Effie Perrine. Following that, we step into the shoes of the legendary detective Nick Carter, in "Nick Carter, Master Detective" with the episode "The Case of the Devil's Left Eye", which first hit the airwaves on January 1st, 1948.

This chilling mystery begins when a cursed gem known as the Devil's Left Eye is stolen, leaving Carter into a world of superstition and murder. A dramatic confrontation reveals the unexpected truth behind the curse. Supporting performances include John Kane as Scubby Wilson, Carter's friend and occasional sidekick, adding a touch of humour and camaraderie to the suspenseful narrative.

The Whistler had one of radio's best-known crime-show formats and one of the longest runs. The signature ranks with radio's greatest, playing perfectly into the host's “man of mystery” role. Like the Shadow and the Mysterious Traveler, the Whistler was a voice of fate, baiting the guilty with his smiling malevolence. Originally taking to the air May 16th, 1942 from CBS's KNX studios in Los Angeles, The show opened with echoing footsteps and a lingering whistle, destined to become one of the all-time haunting melodies. The whistle got louder, then louder, finally blending with the orchestra in a high-pitched sting. When the Whistler spoke he said, “I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.” The unstated theme that ran the distance was “this could happen to you.” The Whistler told stories of the everyday gone haywire, of common men driven to murder and then being tripped up in a cunning double-twist. These were not mysteries: the identity of the killer was never in doubt, from the first hint that the deed must be done until the moment when the killer trapped himself. The stories were told by the Whistler from the killer's viewpoint, the narration done in the unusual second-person, present tense. In the earliest days, producer J. Donald Wilson sometimes had the Whistler engage in open dialogue with the characters, the host playing the conscience, arguing with the murderer and goading him to the inevitable doom. The final act was not played out, but was summarized by the Whistler in an epilogue as, like the Shadow, he laughed and sealed the killer's fate with a few terse lines of plot twist. One of the first changes made by George Allen when he arrived as director in 1944 was to fully dramatize that closing turnabout. This was far more satisfying. The Whistler remained the great omniscient storyteller of the air, for the Shadow had long since become his own hero, and the Mysterious Traveler never packed quite the same punch. The voice was an unforgettable tenor, the message dripping with grim irony. “It all worked out so perfectly, didn't it, Roger,” he would coo, while listeners waited for the shoe to drop. This would come in “the strange ending to tonight's story,” the little epilogue when the finger of fate struck, some fatal flaw of character or deficiency in the master plan that was so obvious that everyone had overlooked it. By October 30th, 1944 Signal Oil was sponsoring the program with the supporting cast being made up of Hollywood's famous character actors, like Cathy and Elliott Lewis, Joseph Keams. Betty Lou Gerson, Wally Maher, John Brown, Hans Conried, Gerald Mohr, Lurene Tuttle, and Jeanette Nolan. Dorothy Roberts, whistled the notes. On that night The Whistler took to the air with “The Beloved Fraud.”

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers Back on December 2nd, 1943 when Suspense first became sponsored by Roma Wines, the script chosen for the first Roma episode was “The Black Curtain” starring Cary Grant. Of the performance Grant said, “If I ever do any more radio work, I want to do it on Suspense, where I get a good chance to act.” The just-heard Lurene Tuttle felt the same way about acting in radio. On November 30th, 1944 Grant was back on Suspense for a repeat performance of “The Black Curtain.” He requested that Lurene Tuttle join him again as the female lead. “The Black Curtain” is an adaptation of a Cornell Woolrich story about a man who wakes up after a fall on a city sidewalk and realizes he can't remember his name or events of the last three years. He soon learns he's been accused of murder. Somehow he has to prove his innocence, which means finding the real killer. The repeat performance wasn't initially planned. The original script, “To Find Help” starring Frank Sinatra had to be postponed due to a scheduling conflict. Grant happened to be available and it also happened to be the one-year anniversary of Roma's sponsorship. More than eight million people heard this broadcast. The cast features the aforementioned Lurene Tuttle, Wally Maher, Pat McGeehan, Harry Lang, and a young Conrad Binyon, who had previously played an uncredited part in The Howards of Virginia with Grant. Binyon was amazed that Cary Grant remembered him.

In this week's thrilling episode of "Tuesday Night Detectives" on Vintage Classic Radio, we dive into the shadowy corners of mystery and crime, starting with "Let George Do It" in the episode titled "The Roundabout Murder". Originally aired on March 7th, 1949, the story follows the astute detective George Valentine as he unwinds the complex web surrounding a murder that's as puzzling as it is deadly. With the help of his loyal assistant, Claire Brooks, often called Brooksie, and the occasional input from Lieutenant Riley, Valentine tackles this case with his usual mix of cunning and bravado. Bob Bailey stars as the unflappable George Valentine, with Virginia Gregg lending her voice to Brooksie, and Wally Maher portraying the ever-skeptical Lieutenant Riley. Following that, we immerse ourselves in the murky atmosphere of "Casey, Crime Photographer" in the episode entitled "Fog", which first captivated audiences on March 11th, 1948. This episode sees the intrepid Casey stumbling upon a crime scene shrouded in fog, where visibility is as scarce as clues. With his trusty camera and the assistance of the sharp-witted Ann Williams, Casey delves into the mystery, proving once again why he's not just a photographer but a detective at heart. Staats Cotsworth stars as the eponymous Casey, with Jan Miner playing the resourceful Ann Williams, and John Gibson as Ethelbert, the bartender who often provides more than just drinks. Together, these episodes offer a glimpse into the golden age of radio, where every shadow hid a secret and every voice told a story. Join us as we relive these classic tales of intrigue and investigation.

Our special evening begins with the CBS Hallmark "Hall of Fame" adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," originally broadcasted on December 18th, 1954, notable primarily for featuring Lionel Barrymore's final performance as Scrooge. Barrymore, a distinguished actor of his time, had passed away just over a month before the broadcast, on November 15, 1954. This timeless classic, starring Lionel Barrymore as Ebenezer Scrooge, captures the transformation of a miserly old man visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve. The cast also includes Richard Hale as Jacob Marley and Marvin Miller as the Ghost of Christmas Present, with John McIntire, Jeanette Nolan, and Howard McNear completing the ensemble. This heartwarming tale reminds us all of the true spirit of Christmas. Next, we present "Room for a Stranger," originally aired on December 19th, 1946, as part of CBS Hallmark's "Hall of Fame." In this poignant story, Frank Sinatra stars as a disillusioned war veteran who, on a snowy Christmas Eve, encounters a series of individuals who restore his faith in humanity. The cast features Gloria McMillan, Edmund MacDonald, Lurene Tuttle, Wally Maher, and Joseph Kearns. Sinatra's performance and the touching narrative make this a memorable and uplifting addition to our holiday programming. Concluding our evening is "Christmas in Connecticut" from the CBS' Screen Guild Theater, originally broadcasted on August 5th, 1946. Starring Ronald Reagan, Jane Wyman, and Leon Belasco, this romantic comedy centers around Elizabeth Lane, a food writer who must create a perfect Christmas for her boss and a war hero, despite her lack of domestic skills. The delightful interplay between Reagan, Wyman, and Belasco offers a charming and lighthearted end to our night of classic radio dramas. Join us for this wonderful collection of stories on Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse." "A Christmas Carol," "Room for a Stranger," and "Christmas in Connecticut" together create a magical tapestry of holiday cheer, reflection, and joy. Tune in for an evening filled with the spirit of Christmas and the unforgettable charm of golden-age radio. Happy holidays, and enjoy the show!

Welcome to this week's episode of “Friday Night Noir” on Vintage Classic Radio, where the shadows talk and the suspense is as thick as fog. Tonight, we delve into the eerie corners of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater with "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale of deduction. Join our insightful protagonist as he uses his exceptional powers of reasoning to unravel a Parisian mystery that baffles the police. The haunting streets of Paris come alive with the voices of our stellar cast, featuring the astute Paul Lukas as the keen-minded sleuth, with support from the talented Santos Ortega and Bryna Raeburn in pivotal roles. Following this gripping tale, we rewind time to 1942 with "Suspense" and the episode "Two Sharp Knives," which springs from the mind of the masterful Dashiell Hammett. As the clock ticks in the small town of Brentwood, we follow Scott Anderson, the diligent Chief of Police played by the commanding Lew Ayres, who, along with his wise-cracking sidekick, Wally Maher, discovers that sometimes justice can be as slippery as a greased blade. The plot thickens, and tension mounts with each passing minute, courtesy of the incredible ensemble including the versatile Jeanette Nolan and the robust Edmund MacDonald. Both stories tonight are penned by literary giants. Edgar Allan Poe, the father of the detective story, gifts us with a narrative that combines his trademark gothic atmosphere with an intellectual puzzle, while Dashiell Hammett, a former Pinkerton detective himself, offers a gritty, realistic look at crime and its consequences. So, turn down the lights, settle into your armchair, and prepare for an evening of mystery and suspense that will leave your heart racing and your mind reeling. Remember, when the truth is stranger than fiction, you're in the realm of “Friday Night Noir.” Enjoy the show.
