Classic Radio for October 28, 2024 - Army Wife, Dirty Bill's Girl, and John Hayes

Westerns and Crime on a Monday

First a look at the events of the day

Then Fort Laramie starring Raymond Burr, originally broadcast October 28, 1956, 68 years ago, Army Wife. After thirty years, an army wife suddenly finds herself a widow. The last show of the series.

We follow that with the news from 68 years ago, then Gunsmoke starring William Conrad, originally broadcast October 28, 1956, 68 years ago, Dirty Bill’s Girl. Rose, the card dealer in the Long Branch, plans to kill a man. Who and why?

Then Crime Classics, originally broadcast October 28, 1953, 71 years ago, John Hayes, His Head, and How They Were Parted.  Mr. Hayes returns from war to his lonely wife to find her afrolic with two comely boarders. His head is shortly thereafter found by the side of the Thames...and then encapsulated in a glass jar. 

Followed by Suspense, originally broadcast October 28, 1954, 70 years ago, The Shelter starring Joyce McCluskey and Vic Perrin.   A man and a woman wait at a deserted bus stop. One of them is possibly an escaped homicidal maniac!

Finally, Claudia, originally broadcast October 28, 1948, 76 years ago.   The Nortons are expecting company and David's in the shower.
