In the Name of the Law
|
I'm revisiting some of our old sets as high quality lossless material comes in from our reel-to-reel digitization projects. I'm working on In the Name of the Law, an early Certified set from 2006. All 12 files are typical 6mb mp3 files of the time (they're actually not bad for what they are). But we now have 5 of those in flac format with less muffling and less processing done to them but I'd like to get the rest in lossless if possible so we're not just updating half the set.
Here is what we have: 1936-07-12 We Bumped off Hubby 1936-07-26 Nothing Ever Happens in Chinatown 1936-08-02 I Didn't Do Nothing 1936-08-09 She Was Murdered 1936-08-16 He Did It, Or Did He The original set contains 7 more episodes and Goldin lists a 13th that is not in the set. Jerry indicates there may be 23 available. This is not a well documented series at all; even the Certified set really has nothing in it except a generic two-sentence summary of the show. But does anyone have additional upgrades for this series? Ryan |

I have that 13th episode which Goldin lists: October 18, 1936. Program #24. Syndicated. "Grusome Catch". Although mine says 361018 24 Gruesome Catch. “Grusome” is not a word. I didn’t make the change, it came that way. It’s the same 6mb mp3 format, so not a sound upgrade, but it at least exists. Tomorrow, when I’m not riding in the car, I put it up on DropBox.

I had never heard of this series before, so I went to newspapers for information.
I ended up with more questions than answers.
- radioGOLDINdex lists the episodes from 1936.
- JerryH lists the episodes from 1936.
- Some plots are based on events from 1934-1935.
I can only find a series called 'In the Name of the Law' as a new Charles Michelson Inc. transcribed series in 1952: https://imgur.com/a/VxZfYLe
For whatever that series is, I looked at radio logs for runs:
- WBBM (Chicago) - 1952-04-09 - 33 Weeks
- WTOP (DC) - 1952-06-06 - 17 weeks
- CJAT (Montreal) - 1955-03-29 - 13 weeks
- KXOK (St. Louis) - 1955-03-11 - 3 weeks
- WIP (Philadelphia) - 1955-11-24 - 25 weeks
- KGU (Honolulu) - 1953-01-20 - 24 weeks
Was this originally packaged in 1936 and then re-packaged as new by Michelson in 1952?
Is this a completely different 'In the Name of the Law'?
Anyone have information on this/either series? |

Unfortunately, the original Certified set did not include any background on the series. You can tell by listening to the episodes that it certainly sounds like a 30's era production, just by the sound quality, sound effects, etc. No idea if it's the same as the later Michelson series you found reference to. I haven't done a newspaper search for the title because it's such a common phrase I'm not interested in scrolling through tens of thousands of hits; plus, newspapers.com doesn't handle multi-word (more than two, anyway) searches well. I'd be happy to include any background anyone can positively connect to this very obscure series. Ryan www.RyanEllett.com The Old Time Radio Researchers "Saving the Past for the Future"
