like many others.

Boston Blackie:
The Boston Blackie radio series, also
starring Morris, began June 23, 1944, on NBC as a summer
replacement for The Amos 'n' Andy Show. Sponsored by Rinso, the
series continued until September 15 of that year. Unlike the
concurrent films, Blackie had a steady romantic interest in the
radio show: Lesley Woods appeared as Blackie's girlfriend Mary
Wesley. Harlow Wilcox was the show's announcer.
On April 11, 1945, Richard Kollmar took over the title role in a
radio series syndicated by Frederic W. Ziv to Mutual and other
network outlets. Over 200 episodes of this series were produced
between 1944 and October 25, 1950. Other sponsors included
Lifebuoy Soap, Champagne Velvet beer, and R&H beer.
While investigating mysteries, Blackie invariably encountered
harebrained Police Inspector Farraday (Maurice Tarplin) and
always solved the mystery to Farraday's amazement. Initially,
friction surfaced in the relationship between Blackie and
Farraday, but as the series continued, Farraday recognized
Blackie's talents and requested assistance. Blackie dated Mary
Wesley (Jan Miner), and for the first half of the series, his
best pal Shorty was always on hand. The humorless Farraday was
on the receiving end of Blackie's bad puns and word play.
Cloak and
Dagger:
Most spy stories are pure fiction, but
Cloak and Dagger is the real deal! Taken from the files of the
OSS, precursor the the CIA, the show highlights the exploits of
men who go into danger for their country.
This is the story of the WWII special governmental agency, the
OSS, or Office of Strategic Services. Its mission was to develop
and maintain spy networks throughout Europe and into Asia, while
giving aid to underground partisan groups and developing
espionage activities for Allied forces overseas.The show is
based on the book of the same name by Lt. Col. Corey Ford and
Major Alastair MacBain (who were associated with the OSS from
its early days.) The dramas are not Hollywood-style, in that
they sometimes end with plans foiled or leading characters dead.
Each week was a new half-hour story of the OSS's exploits, with
different actors. The casts were drawn from the best of the New
York radio scene, including Raymond Edward Johnson (Inner
Sanctum Mysteries), Virginia Payne, Joseph Julian, Jackson Beck
(Hop Harrigan, Cisco Kid, Casey, Crime Photographer and Philo
Vance), Jan Miner, Les Tremayne, Maurice Tarplin (Mysterious
Traveler) and Boris Aplon (Captain Midnight), Everett Sloane
(Mercury Theatre, Campbell Playhouse), and Martin Balsam, The
show was directed by Sherman Marks and written
It opened with the question, "Are you willing to undertake a
dangerous mission for the United States, knowing in advance you
may never return alive?" Of course, today's headlines make this
dramatization of our history all the more intriguing, and all
the more relevant.
