Mr District Attorney The Priceless Miniature Ep 184, 1940s Detective Mystery Old Time Radio Shows

The story begins in the vaulted echoing galleries of the city museum. It is shortly past midnight, and in the lofty Egyptian hall, a single light high in the ceiling casts eerie patterns of black shadows. Suddenly the telephone rings at the desk of the night watchman…. About: Mr. District Attorney is a radio crime drama produced by Samuel Bischoff that aired on NBC and ABC from April 3, 1939 to June 13, 1952 (and in transcribed syndication through 1953). The series focused on a crusading district attorney initially known only as Mister District Attorney or Chief and was later translated to television. On television, the attorney's name was Paul Garrett, and the radio version adopted the name in its final years when David Brian played the role. A key figure in the dramas was the secretary Edith Miller. Created, written, and directed by former law student Ed Byron, the series was inspired by the early years of New York governor Thomas E. Dewey. Dewey's public war against racketeering led to his election as governor. Phillips H. Lord, creator of Gang Busters, helped to develop the concept and coined the title. Byron lent an air of accuracy and immediacy to his scripts through close study of crime statistics, a library of criminology texts, following the newspapers and even visiting rough bars to gain tips, background and color from crooks and police. Produced throughout its run in New York City, the series began as a 15-minute serial, becoming a half-hour, self-contained series three months later as a summer replacement for The Bob Hope Show on June 27, 1939. During 1942, Mr. District Attorney began battling Nazis, leading to conflicts with the FBI when the scripts reflected life too closely. In December 1949, Mr. District Attorney returned to live broadcasts after 13 weeks of using tape-recorded transcriptions. (Wikipedia)
