Philo Vance - "Butler Murder Case" 02/15/49 [HQ] Old Time Radio/Detective

Philo Vance was radio drama series were created with Philo Vance as the title character. The first series, broadcast by NBC in 1945, starred José Ferrer. A summer replacement series in 1946 starred John Emery as Vance. The best-known series (and the one of which most episodes survived) ran from 1948-1950 in Frederick Ziv syndication and starred Jackson Beck. "Thankfully, the radio series uses only the name, and makes Philo a pretty normal, though very intelligent and extremely courteous gumshoe. ... Joan Alexander is Ellen Deering, Vance's secretary and right-hand woman."

My goodness, there were so many detective radio programs back then, it's amazing people didn't tire of them.

As a child I was not a fan of the organ. Now it brings up great nostalgia. Always love the Philo Vance stories.

In truth in radio,there is the play and it's always well played,perhaps we might attempt to emulate,really the past in radio should be emulated,as it's art,and culture well spoken.How much we have in common.

According to Mayor Adam West, you can sound like you are on old time radio by speaking through a toilet roll tube.
