Classic Mystery Radio-The Whistler-"Dark Moon"

The Whistler was a mystery/suspense radio show, the main star of which was the ironic twist at the end of almost every episode. Usually a criminal's activity was exposed either by an overlooked (vital) detail or by their own stupidity. The Whistler himself narrated, often commenting directly upon the action, taunting the criminal from an omniscient perspective.
Each dramatic episode began with the whistling of a haunting tune which was composed by Wilbur Hatch and featured Dorothy Roberts whistling with an orchestra.
"I am The Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales, 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."

According to my dad, my mom absolutely LOVED this radio show!! He said he couldn't get her away from the radio when it was on. We lost my mom last March, so it's pretty cool to be able to listen to something she loved listening to herself.

A favorite radio show in my college years, thanks to a now-defunct antique dealer who specialized in old radios and the Golden Age of Radio. Now, I'm glad to find "The Whistler" here.

It was great! That pill of no one will find out what I did and how I lied, but there's always something!

I listened to the Whistler shows when they were new. How scary is that?

[@shilohbrutalis582]

Salute

[@patrickoneill8707]

Not scary at all my friend. It is beautiful that you are still here with us and that we can enjoy these for the first time as you relive them.

What a puzzle dames is. A few decades later any number and all permutations who strut and fret their hour in the comedy that's Romance would swap places and even faces routinely; the scheming Kathy would be regarded as simply outré.

I love Frank Lovejoy 😊
