Your help needed with some Whistler radio documentation

Joe Webb #5012 The program evaluation is complete! A REALLY BIG THANK YOU Barbara, Ian, Nick, and Jim! THESE ARE THE EPISODES FROM THE LIST THAT REUSED TITLES Last Curtain 47-01-20 243 Last Curtain An actress conspires with a fading actor to kill her rich husband. An ensuing double-cross results in blackmail and subsequent murder. 49-02-13 349 Last Curtain Story of a prima donna who becomes obsessed and intensely jealous of a rival singer. As her rage increases she devises a plan to disfigure her rival, and dire consequences ensue. Windfall 44-12-18 134 Windfall Robert Bradley becomes the heir to his uncle Michael's estate after his son and Robert's cousin, Gerald, is killed in a car crash. 47-05-05 258 Windfall A man named Ted is seemingly about to commit suicide when he finds a man's body. Taking his checkbook, he finds that the unidentified man has a bank balance of over $104,000 dollars UNRAVELING THE "Friendly Case of Blackmail" AND "Hit and Run" CONFUSION There have been recordings with both of these titles in the file name. This has now been straightened out AND a "faked" recording has been exposed. They are two separate programs, each on the series twice. 45-05-14 155 Friendly Case of Blackmail aka Hit And Run THIS IS A MISSING EPISODE AND IS NOT "Hit and Run" - someone took the AFRS Mystery Playhouse version and cut it to drama only and gave it this date. Jerry Haendiges log lists this date as the first, but missing, performance of "Friendly Case of Blackmail." I have not been able to find any newspaper verification 50-11-12 440 Friendly Case of Blackmail aka Hit And Run THIS IS "Friendly Case of Blackmail" SECOND PERFORMANCE AND EPISODE #1 FOR THE TV SERIES From here on out the file names will be 45-05-14 155 Friendly Case of Blackmail 50-11-12 440 Friendly Case of Blackmail 46-01-14 190 Hit and Run 51-01-07 448 Hit and Run In San Francisco Hilary and Mildred are running away together.

Bob Merritt #5000 Hi Joe, I'll assist as I can as well. I'll start from the bottom of the list probably on Wednesday.

The series re-used many titles but they had different storylines. For instance, "Til Death Do Us Part" was used three times for three different stories. We are in process of completing our Whistler log and need some "extra ears" to review and document certain episodes to identify them as same title / same story or same title / different story. The best way to identify as to whether they are different is by the Whistler's opening narration where he mentions the main character of the story. Please document that main character's name (and perhaps a brief plotline).
