Barry Craig Confidential Investigator - The Deadly Fight (01-23-52)

Barry
Craig, Confidential Investigator

(AKA Barry Crane" and then "Barrie Craig) 

is one of the few detective radio series that had separate versions of it
broadcast from both coasts. Even the spelling changed over the years. It was
first "Barry Crane" and then "Barrie Craig". NBC produced
it in New York from 1951 to 1954 and then moved it to Hollywood where it aired
from 1954 to 1955. It attracted only occasional sponsors so it was usually a sustainer.William Gargan,
who also played the better known television (and radio) detective Martin Kane, was the voice of New York eye BARRY
CRAIG while Ralph Bell portrayed his associate, Lt. Travis Rogers. Craig's
office was on Madison Avenue and his adventures were fairly standard PI fare.
He worked alone, solved cases efficiently, and feared no man. As the promos
went, he was "your man when you can't go to the cops. Confidentiality a
speciality."Like Sam Spade,
Craig narrated his stories, in addition to being the leading character in this
30 minute show. Nearly sixty episodes are in trading circulation today.
