True Detective Mysteries 58-06-08 Hitchhiking Pyscho (HQ)

One of the swiftness radio series, the True Detective Mysteries program
broadcast over CBS every Thursday evening, owes much of its popularity
to the action which takes place in the studio. Reproducing as it does
true stories of various police cases, it is often impossible to go into
every detail of the story, and so far no one has actually been murdered
in the broadcast: but when a struggle is indicated in the script the
actors proceed to struggle; when the gong and siren on the police cars
are heard, there are sirens and gongs in the studio.



Staged under the direction of Charles Schenck, one of radio's pioneers
in stagecraft, "True Detective Mysteries" utilizes approximately the
same cast each week to dramatize the more thrilling story in the current
issue of the magazine from which it takes its name. Much of the
program's success is due to the fact Mr. Schenck has been able to
assemble the cast which his experience has shown him possesses really
ideal voices for the microphone, as well as dramatic ability. The sound
effects, pistol shots, slamming doors, crashing glass, speeding
autos---every conceivable noise, in fact---are produced by one man, who
sets up his apparatus before his own special microphone, and, working
from his own copy of the script, follows his cues as carefully and
promptly as do the actors.
