Captain Midnight:
Captain Midnight was an aviation adventure
fantasy that gained notoriety during the late 1930’s. Written by
Robert M. Burtt and Willfred G. Moore, this series was initially
broadcasted over the WGN network in Chicago and sponsored by the
Skelly Oil Company. The show caught the eye of executives at
Ovaltine, and they took this old time radio program to Mutual
Network in order to reach a wider market. What started off as a
simple narration of a fictional World War I hero named Captain
Jim “Red” Albright (portrayed by Bill Bouchey on WGN and later
by Ed Prentiss on Mutual) soon morphed into something much
bigger than anyone could have ever anticipated. A historic icon
was born in the golden age of radio-- the masked crusader,
“Captain Midnight”. Before long, millions were avidly following
the exploits of the secret agent and his band of merry followers
that took each listener to exotic places around the globe. From
aerial dogfights to shadowing the slums of the underworld,
Captain Midnight together with the ever-faithful Chuck Ramsey
and Patsy Donovan (who was later replaced by Joyce Ryan) gave
chase to evil-doers and brought them to justice. In a time that
was rife with the smell of gunpowder and the threat of war, this
old radio show injected a sense of levity and normalcy to the
populace. Dive into a world of adventure by enjoying Captain
Midnight today!
Mystery
Playhouse:
Mystery Playhouse was an AFRS horror
program broadcast overseas for soldiers during WWII. Peter Lorre
provided tongue in cheek introductions to popular rebroadcasts
of shows like The Whistler, Inner Sanctum Mysteries and others.
The regular series themes and introductions were edited out
(along with any commercials) for our boys in uniform who were
already doing their part for the economy by serving the war
effort overseas. To the casual listener, this series sounded
like its own production, with Lorre the ringmaster. Considering
that he had his pick of the litter in deciding what the best
episodes were to play, it was probably a pretty popular
broadcast, too. (That, and the fact that most of the other
stations were not in English.) The series features fine stories
and gives a great tease of what Lorre would sound like playing
his very own host persona. It would be another decade before he
played a regular horror host again, in Nightmare. As time wore
on, other hosts introduced the series. One was named Jeffery
Bonds, as well as another man who was not listed in the credits.
