From Those Were The Days --
6/3
1946 - Mutual Radio debuted "The Casebook of Gregory Hood". The show was
the summer replacement series for "Sherlock Holmes". The mystery series
became a regular weekly program in the fall of 1946.
6/4
1944 - "Leonidas Witherall" was first broadcast on the Mutual
Broadcasting System. Witherall was a detective who looked just like
William Shakespeare.
6/6
1938 - Stella Dallas was presented for the first time on the NBC Red
radio network. The serial was "the true to life story of mother love and
sacrifice." Stella continued to do this and so much more until 1955.
6/7
1945 The NBC program The Adventures of Topper was heard for the first
time.
1955 NBC presented The Lux Radio Theatre for the final time. The
program had aired for 21 years.
6/8
1942 The comic soap opera Clara, Lu 'n Em was revived on CBS (the
original show began in 1931 on NBC). Clara, Lu and Em were together
again for just a short while before vanishing into radio oblivion.
1947 Lassie debuted on ABC. It was a 15 minute show about an
extraordinary collie. Animal imitator, Earl Keen provided the whines and
other dog noises. The announcer was Charles Lyon; Marvin Miller and
Betty Arnold played Lassie's owners. The sponsor was Red Heart dog food.

Sure wish I could publish more radio books. They just don't come in like they
used to.
