The Radio Murder Mystery

The Radio Murder Mystery

21m

March 6, 1933 (92 years ago)

Overview

This short, introduced and closed by Louis Sobol, features Richard Gordon as ‘Sherlock Holmes of the air.’ Not long after one broadcast explaining in a story how a murder was committed an actual murder is committed using the same technique. The police then call Gordon in to help solve the crime. The rest of this short with an ‘all-star cast’ (as the title card announces) includes Jack Fulton, Alice Joy and Peggy Healy. The latter 3 singers, however, do not participate in the plot of the 21 minute short, but provide musical interludes to it.
