old time radio picture

Rare Drama, Music, Comedy, Suspense, Mystery, Detective, Crime, Adventure and a spiteful literary critic (1920s-1950s)

Whether you seek farce, handcuffing, soapy stories, lilting melodies, exotic adventure or spiteful literary criticism, Random Rarities Three is sure to entertain and delight.

The Maltese Goddess. The daughter of a private detective and amateur archaeologist Nick Noble is cleaning out Noble's office after his funeral. Out of nowhere, a new case presents itself. The plot of the serial is advanced with songs for the dream sequences.

Mama Blooms Brood, Bruce Eells and Assoc, Broadcasters Program Syndication, 1934. A "carbon copy" of Gertrude Berg's The Goldbergs, interestingly Mama Bloom came on the air just after NBC canceled The Goldbergs, and Amos 'n' Andy were exploring the profits of syndication.

The Man From Homicide, ABC, 1951, summer replacement for Inner Sanctum. Lt Dana's catchphrase is "I don't like killers."

A Man Named Jordan, CBS, 1945. A serialized prelude to Rocky Jordan, starring Jack Moyles and the infamous Café Tambourine is located in Istanbul instead of Cairo, but there is still plenty of international intrigue.

    COMMENTS

    The disc I received included The Tide Show with Ginny Simms, Meet Millie, and To Be Perfectly Frank.They were all entertaining in their own way. I give a slight edge to The Tide Show for Ginny's songs and her rapport with the audience. It was from 1952. To Be Perfectly Frank is from 1954 and plays records of Frank Sinatra but Frank himself isn't there. Meet Millie is a family type comedy from 1953.
