As I continue my stroll down Memory Lane, I will continue to visit a couple more of Old Time Radio's Mounties. First we will pay a visit to one of the earliest, if not the first Mountie on radio, Blair of the Mounties. Blair was written by Colonel Rhys Davies and he was featured in the lead role as well. Blair is set in the pre World War I era. Unlike most Mounties, Blair was not limited to working in Canada.

This week, we shall take a stroll down Memory Lane with Fred Bertelsen. This time on Memory Lane we will first travel back to Springfield on December 20, 1948 where we will pay a visit to that house on Maple Street. Yes it's the Hendersons. You probably remember them best as the Andersons, but this is the audition show and the characters haven't quite developed yet. Father Knows Best won't premier for another 8 months.

This week, we shall take another stroll down Memory Lane with our dear friend, Fred Bertelsen. He shall begin his first in a series of crime fighters with two great programs. Ellery Queen and the FBI in Peace and War. Santos Ortega, Carlton Young and Larry Dobkin played Ellery queen over the great years of oldtime radio. >Let's take a look at Fred's Press Release. >Press Release: This is the first episode I have decided to call Crimefighters. Each episode of Crimefighters will consist of a Cop show and a Private Eye type show.

Crime Fighters will take a look at Calling All Cars, which was broadcast from Nov 29th, 1933 to Sept 8th, 1939. Calling All Cars was one of the earliest police shows on the air. It dramatized true crime stories and was introduced by officers of Los Angeles and other police departments. None of the cast was credited, with one exception. We will feature the episode, "Death In The Moonlight" from March 8th, 1938.

First we will listen to George S Decker tell us about the murder of his mother from
the 1953 series Confession. Then will pay a visit to the old west, yes you heard
correctly, the old west, and listen to Thomas Hyland tell us the story of The Death
of a Picture Hanger from the Crime Classics series. This show also is from 1953.

The first is from the program Grand Central Station and the title is Moon Blind, a nice romantic drama. The second show will have you tapping your
feet and singing along with my favorite cowboy Gene Autry. He will have a story for
you as well. The only date I can give you on this one is 1953 because it is an Arm
Forces Radio broadcast. So join me and sit back relax and listen, as we venture in
to another What Once Was Radio.
