While I was doing research into the golden age of radio, I met a troupe of actors who perform old-time scripts -- The Cranston & Spade Theater Co. Ever once in a while, they invite me to perform with them, which is always such a thrill, getting to do those scripts -- Richard Diamond; Suspense; The Shadow; Broadway Is My Beat; Pat Novak, for Hire; The Lives of Harry Lime.

My grandmother would be listening on a table top radio to the Romance of Helen Trent and Our Gal Sunday. Still remember the announcer's opening lines. In the evening, The Fat Man, Murder and Mr. Malone, and Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons--spoke to me. You've inspired me, Kate, to record all those heroines and lawmen of yesteryear who told me the stories that are still in my head.robert Knightlyhttp://robertknightly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794927480752850942.post-15090877158422461152013-07-27T09:10:09.158-04:002013-07-27T09:10:09.158-04:00Wow!

I missed out on the radio serials, but I understand they can still be scared up. I love radio.

It must have been George Lucas's and Spielberg's as well, because Star Wars was a peon to it, complete with a villain just like Ming, all in black with a huge black cape. My brother and I used to try to figure out how Flash would get out of his weekly predicaments. I don't remember anymore if the series told us. My memories are that the following week we knew, but it could have been us or them filling in the details.

That and say witty things, and also enlighten our readers, of course. I liked A GOOD KNIFE'S WORK. Did you ever see a show on the American Movie Channel, back when it had original productions and no commercials, called Remember WENN? That was about radio in the forties, and a real charmer.Kate Gallisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107289413804236810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794927480752850942.post-57438526898893006072013-07-26T14:37:51.259-04:002013-07-26T14:37:51.259-04:00I too recall those 15-minute daytime shows and the...I too recall those 15-minute daytime shows and the evening radio mysteries I just adored. [I ended up writing a mystery about that world -- A GOOD KNIFE'S WORK [uh, I am allowed to shamelessly tout my work on your blog, right, Kate?] And so many Saturday mornings at the movies with a serial as part of the double bill. Yes, I felt a little cheated when the next week, the hero had magically been rescued with no indication of exactly how. But I kept going and watching them.
