The Cisco Kid, Collection 2 Lib/E (The Cisco Kid Series Lib/E, 2)

In Texas, more than 260,000 square miles and fifty men make up the oldest and most famous law enforcement body in North America--the Texas Rangers! Like its predecessor Dragnet, Tales of the Texas Rangers adapted actual police case files for its broadcasts. Leading each week's investigation of an actual Texas Ranger case was the same Texas Ranger, Jayce Pearson, portrayed by movie star Joel McCrea. Because the stories were set in the present day, Pearson used the latest scientific techniques to identify criminals. Unlike Joe Friday, Pearson didn't have a regular partner, typically working with the local sheriff instead (who was usually portrayed by Parley Baer). Working environments would range from big cities to isolated wilderness areas that could only be reached on horseback. Produced and Directed by Stacy Keach Sr., Tales of the Texas Rangers ran from 1950 to 1952 and featured radio's top supporting actors. Its popularity spawned a 1955 Saturday morning television series starring Willard Parker and Harry Lauter, broadcast on CBS until 1958.

These are the stories of strange wills made by strange people. Men and women who defy and defile every moral law of respectability and decency to satisfy a mad desire! Distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William starred in Strange Wills, a mystery-drama series produced and syndicated by Teleways Radio Productions in 1946. William portrayed probate attorney Warren Francis O'Connell, and the stories were told through him as executor of the "strange wills made by strange people." Strange Wills are stories based upon actual wills gathered from courts from all over the world. Names, places, and time have been changed so that no reflection can fall on any person or persons living or dead. Only the sins remain--deadly sins that cry out from the depths of the grave for vengeance. The stories involved cases of every kind and featured many of Hollywood's best supporting actors, including Carlton Young, Lurene Tuttle, William Conrad, Marvin Miller, John Brown, Peggy Webber, and Howard Culver, with music by Del Castillo. Dead men's wills are often strange. We cannot attempt to understand them or try to find the answers, we can but tell the story ...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective genius, Sherlock Holmes, came to NBC radio in 1930 starring Richard Gordon. By 1939, Basil Rathbone was heard as Holmes with Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson. The duo was simultaneously starring in a popular series of Sherlock Holmes features for Fox, and later for Universal. By the end of the feature run in the mid 1940’s, Rathbone was eager to separate himself from the radio show to avoid being typecast, and even though the show’s sponsor (Petri Wines) offered him generous pay to continue, he decided to move on. Tom Conway took over with Nigel Bruce continuing as Watson (in this paring Nigel Bruce received top billing). Tom Conway and Nigel Bruce were replaced in 1947 by John Stanley and Alfred Shirley. Others to portray Holmes and Watson over the radio run were George Shelton and Ian Martin and Ben Wright and Eric Snowden. In 1955, NBC signed heavyweights Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson to star as Holmes and Watson, but with radio fast giving way to television, it only lasted one season.

Nero Wolfe is a fictional detective, created in 1934 by the American mystery writer Rex Stout. Wolfe's confidential assistant Archie Goodwin narrates the cases of the overweight detective genius. In total, Stout wrote 33 novels and 39 short stories from 1934 to 1974, with most of them set in New York City. Wolfe's residence, a luxurious brownstone on West 35th Street, features prominently in the series. Many radio, television and film adaptations were made from Stout's stories. Nero Wolfe first appeared on radio July 5, 1943 in a short-lived NBC series starring Santos Ortega as Wolfe with Luis Van Rooten as Archie. The second series aired during 1945 on the Mutual network starred Francis X. Bushman with Elliott Lewis as Archie. The third, and most successful incarnation came to radio in 1950. It starred Sydney Greenstreet as Wolfe with the part of Archie voiced by several actors including Lawrence Dobkin, Gerald Mohr and Harry Bartell. Nero Wolfe was an armchair detective who rarely left the house. Archie Goodwin, would collect the facts and report back. Wolfe would probably not have taken on many cases had he not needed his client's money to pay for his two true passions: fine food and the collecting of orchids. Enjoy 12 of the finest radio episodes of Nero Wolfe, starring Sydney Greenstreet, who is perhaps best known for playing Kasper Gutman, the villain opposite Humphrey Bogart (Sam Spade) in the film The Maltese Falcon. 10/27/50 The Case of the Careworn Cuff 11/3/50 The Case of the Dear Dead Lady 1/26/51 The Case of the Phantom Fingers 2/2/51 The Case of the Vanishing Shells 2/16/51 The Case of the Party for Death 3/2/51 The Case of the Hasty Will 3/9/51 The Case of the Disappearing Diamonds 3/16/51 The Case of the Midnight Ride 3/23/51 The Case of the Final Page 3/30/51 The Case of the Tell Tale Ribbon 4/16/51 A Slight Case of Perjury 4/20/51 The Case of the Lost Heir

New York City Detective Danny Clover worked homicide "from Times Square to Columbus Circle--the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world--Broadway, my beat." Broadway Is My Beat was a dark, gritty radio crime drama that ran on CBS from 1949 until 1954. The series was originally broadcast from New York with Anthony Ross portraying Times Square Police Detective Danny Clover. Produced by Lester Gottlieb, it was directed by John Dietz. By the thirteenth episode, the series moved to Hollywood (still set in NYC) with producer Elliott Lewis directing a new cast with scripts by Morton Fine and David Friedkin (the duo that would later write and develop TV's popular secret-agent series I Spy). The opening theme of "I'll Take Manhattan" introduced Detective Danny Clover (now played by Larry Thor) as a hardened New York City copy who worked homicide. Clover narrated tales of the Great White Way to the music of Wilbur Hatch and Alexander Courage. The recreation of Manhattan's rich, aural tapestry required the talents of three sound effects artists. Cast regulars included Charles Calvert (as Sgt. Gino Tartaglia) and Jack Kruschen (as Sgt. Muggavan). Now, enjoy sixteen of the finest episodes from this excellent crime series in this collection. 8/18/49 - "The Silks Bergen Murder Case" 12/3/49 - "The Sherman Gates Murder Case" 12/31/49 - "The John Lomax Murder Case" 11/17/50 - "The Joan Fuller Murder Case" 12/8/50 - "Ben Justin" 4/14/51 - "The Thomas Hart Murder Case" 4/21/51 - "The Philip Hunt Murder Case" 6/9/51 - "Earl Lawson" 10/20/51 - "The Kurt Bower Murder Case" 3/22/52 - "John Mooney" 7/5/52 - "The Stacy Parker Murder Case" 11/8/52 - "The Bob Foster Murder Case" 1/24/53 - "The Joey Condon Murder Case" 2/14/53 - "The Artie Blanchard Case" 5/16/53 - "Barbara Hunt" 6/27/53 - "Sophie Bretton"
