Some time ago somebody released the only known episode of the "Affairs of
Peter Salem".
The episode is a partial (5 mins, 14secs) and is titled, "Affair of the
Murderous Mirror".
While searching thru the NewspaperARCHIVE database, for the Bulldog
Drummond series, I found the following description in the Long Beach
Press-Telegram on January 27, 1953, page A-4.
"A mirror that reflected the faces of those about to die forms the basis
for the drama on 'Affairs of Peter Salem,' KHJ at 7:30 p. m.".
This description fits the show perfectly.
I am submitting this date & episode title to the OTRR's Otter database
along with all other dates and titles I found for the Peter Salem series.

Subject: Martin Grams Jr. & Suspense book
Particularly as one who posted a criticism of Martin Grams Jr. not very long
ago, I commend his generous reaction to a question recently posed on this
digest about the merits of his vs. a competitor's book on the SUSPENSE series.
Martin long ago earned a reputation for helping others find materials. But
the manner and style of his response to the query went way beyond what one
ordinarily might expect.
