Drama on a Saturday

First, a look at the events of the day.

Then, Counterspy starring Don Maclaughlan and Mandel Kramer,  originally broadcast September 13, 1949, 76 years ago, The Case Of The Flatbush Fagin.  A story about teen-aged terrors who worshipped a heel. Stolen loot is paid for with a wet handkerchief and hard cash. 

Followed by Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle starring Lamont Johnson, originally broadcast September 13, 1951, 74 years ago, The Strange Book of Araby.   Tarzan meets a wise oracle and his strange book, containing the knowledge of the future. 

Then, Confession, originally broadcast September 13, 1953, 72 years ago, The Case Of Roger S. Chapland.  A young man breaks into a store. He gets a suspended sentence, but no break from his father. 

Followed by Quiet Please starring Ernest Chappell, originally broadcast September 13, 1948, 77 years ago, Symphony in D Minor.  A good story about a blind hypnotist who gives a post-hypnotic suggestion to his wife's lover. He orders the lover to kill the wife when he hears the Cesar Franck symphony (that happens to be the program's theme song). 

Finally, Fibber McGee and Molly, originally broadcast September 13, 1954, 71 years ago, The Joke’s On Me.  Fibber knows a funny joke...and he's just dying to tell it!
