New To RUSC
I Love A Mystery - The Fear That Creeps Like A Cat
Just in case you hadn’t noticed I have been adding a new story of I Love A Mystery entitled "The Fear That Creeps Like A Cat".
I Love A Mystery is a Carlton E. Morse series featuring Jack, Doc and Reggie, specialists in crime and adventure, who are now following the trail of a missing millionaire, a killer cougar and a phantom castle in America’s scenic northwest.
The three comrades, Jack, Doc and Reggie, are at the jumping off place in their new adventure, which consists of a manhunt with a million dollars at stake. They’ve been assigned by a big insurance company to bring back alive Alexander Archer who has been declared legally dead by order of the court. The court says he’s dead, the insurance company say’s he’s alive and the three comrades have been assigned to the task of proving that the insurance company is right.
With Les Tremayne as Jack Packard, Tony Clay as Doc Long and Frank Breese as Reggie Yorke, I believe this story is a remake of the original lost broadcasts and was produced by OTR historian and ILAM aficionado Jim Harmon who met and befriended Carlton E. Morse in the 1960’s.
There are 20 episodes in total and I will be adding them consecutively to RUSC from Oct. 18th - Nov. 9th, 2004.
While on the subject of ILAM: those of you who were observant may have noticed that some of the episodes of the classic story Temple Of Vampires were not the originals. I have been asked where they came from. I have discovered that Bud Carey, a West Coast OTR DJ, helped produce (with the aid of Jim Harmon) a recreation of the "lost" interior episodes using the original Carlton E. Morse scripts. They were made for his January 1989 radio program, "Old-Time Theatre", and were broadcast over the San Francisco Unified School District's radio station KALW-FM. “It is a very credible and surprisingly solid effort”. The episodes referred to are numbers 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 & 18.
Happy listening my friends,
