More Description

"Casey, Crime Photographer" is a lighthearted crime drama spotlighting witty dialogue, fanciful characters, and the congenial atmosphere that comes from having most of the show's action set against the backdrop of a popular watering hole. The plots are basic - Casey snaps photos for the Morning Express and finds himself playing amateur sleuth by getting involved in the stories he covers - but what sets the series apart is its laid-back atmosphere, chiefly personified by the colorful denizens of The Blue Note Café. There, in-between assignments, the characters engage in badinage with their philosophically sardonic bartender pal Ethelbert, played by John Gibson, often to the melodious accompaniment of the Blue Note's background piano. Strong characterizations and fine scripting continue to make "Casey" a delightful and enjoyable series and, in this second ten-hour Radio Archives collection, you'll enjoy twenty more of Casey's most intriguing adventures, starring Staats Cotsworth in the title role.Programs include: Miscarriage of Justice - October 2, 1947 / The Camera Bug - October 16, 1947 / Lady in Distress - October 23, 1947 / Great Grandfather's Rent Receipt - October 30, 1947 / The Blonde's Lipstick - November 6, 1947 / Too Many Angels - November 13, 1947 / Earned Reward - November 20, 1947 / After Turkey, the Bill - November 27, 1947 / The Serpent Goddess - December 4, 1947 / The New Will - December 11, 1947 / The Life of the Party - December 18, 1947 / The Santa Claus of Bum Boulevard - December 25, 1947 / Queen of the Amazon - January 8, 1948 / The Miracle - January 15, 1948 / The Piggy Bank Robbery - January 29, 1948 / Music to Die By - February 5, 1948 / The Fix - February 26, 1948 / Fog - March 11, 1948 / Murder in Black and White - March 18, 1948 / Blind Justice - March 25, 1948
