IN THIS EPISODE: It’s “Death in the Bayous” from The Hall of Fantasy. There is some conflicting information about the show itself, in that some sources say it ran on the Mutual Broadcasting System from August 22, 1952, until September 28, 1953 – but another source says the episode we’re about to hear ran on March 09, 1947 on the CBS network. Either way, it stars Michael Bruce, Beth Colter, Carol Moser, Ken Jensen, Richard Thorne (who was also the producer and director), Mel Wyman is the announcer. The story was written by Robert Olsen and the original music for the episode is by Earl Donaldson. It’s the story of a new bride who returns to her friend's old mansion down South on her honeymoon and finds quicksand, murder, and madness.

IN THIS EPISODE: It’s a double-dose of mystery from the greatest detective ever – in “The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes!” First up, it’s a story originally aired February 11, 1946 entitled, “The Guideless Gypsy” – where Holmes and Watson find good companionship in a gypsy camp. But they also find kidnapping, attempted murder, and a beautiful girl who gives up her life for Holmes! And later, it’s an episode from March 18, 1946 called “The Adventure of the Blarney Stone” – where Sherlock Holmes "takes the law into his own hands" when a murder takes place at Blarney Castle. The victim was trying to kiss the Blarney Stone. And after our first story, I’ll tell you a bit about the radio show itself and its very interesting history.
