One last week celebrating Women on the Radio, Sunday night March 30, from 7 to 9 pm on THE GOLDEN AGE OF RADIO over WBAI 99.5 FM and Streaming live at wbai.org. Joan Blondell stars with Dick Powell in the first episode of MISS PINKERTON, INC, which features a huge cast of radio greats in support. She inherits a detective agency, but before selling it, she goes out undercover on a jewel robbery case. With Edwin Max, Elliott Lewis, Gale Gordon, Hanley Stafford, Sara Berner, Art Gilmore (announcer), J. Donald Wilson (producer, director). From CBS July 12, 1941. Well hear two more episodes of our serial I LOVE A MYSTERY “Bury Your Dead, Arizona” by Carlton E Morse from Mutual, November 25 & 28, 1949. Chapters 5 & 6 find Jack, Doc, and Reggie renting rooms in Bury-Your-Dead at Dry Gulch Marys boarding house – Jack even springs for lodging for the fat magician “The Maestro” and his assistant Nasha. Wolves have killed Alchie Joe, so “The Maestro” transforms Nasha into a wolf again to go running with the pack! With Russell Thorson as Jack Packard, Jim Boles as Doc Long, and Tony Randall as Reggie York, with Bob Dryden, Mercedes McCambridge, and Louis Van Rooten. LEAVE IT TO THE GIRLS was a radio panel show on Mutual from 1945 to 1949 in which a group of women tangled with a man on the panel discussing gender issues. Radio Life magazine called it an affair of “bright spontaneity and bristling female wit.” We shall see. Exact program to be determined at press time. We had a request to hear Talullah Bankhead on THE BIG SHOW, but we rarely have 90 minutes to spare, so instead well hear her with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy on THE CHASE AND SANBORN HOUR from NBC on November 17, 1946. If theres time, we may hear even more popular gals from the 1940s – tune in and see.
