Based on the character created by Phoebe Atwood Taylor
(under the pseudonym Alice Tilton) and starring Walter Hampden in the title
role, The Adventures of Leonidas Witherall is an old time radio detective
series with an unusual protagonist. He is the head of a distinguished New
England boy's school and is best known for his remarkable resemblance to
William Shakespeare! If that isn't enough, Witherall is also an accomplished
author, penning the "popular Lieutenant Hazeltine stories". He always
gets mixed up in murder, solving crimes with his good friend Mrs. Mullet, the
neighborhood housekeeper, played by Ethel Remey.
