Classic Radio for October 19, 2023 - The Blue Bride, The Hoodoo Ship, and the Last Will

An hour of Crime

First, a look at this date in history.

Then The Lives of Harry Lime starring Orson Welles, originally broadcast October 19, 1951, 72 years ago, The Blue Bride. Harry's involved in a counterfeiting scheme in Bordeaux.

Followed by The Shadow starring William Johnstone, originally broadcast October 19, 1941, 82 years ago, The Hoodoo Ship. The crew of a ship filled with slaves murders the Africans aboard "The Raven" in 1850. In "modern" times, "The Raven" seems to be jinxed. When two murders take place on board "The Raven," keep your eye on the bo's'on with the wooden leg!

And Phyl Coe Mysteries, originally broadcast October 19, 1937, 75 years ago, Last Will and Testament. An invalid is murdered after announcing his intention to change his will. His assembled relatives are the suspects. Bud Collyer and Peggy Allenby star.
