A case is presented before the programme gives away its solution. Suspicion invites the listener to weigh the evidence, using the interval between editions as part of its mystery format.
Broadcast history.
The syndicated quarter-hour series is catalogued to 1935. The researched programme log records its unusual practice of resolving a mystery at the beginning of the following programme.
Cast and creative team.
The consulted sources establish the format and surviving titles but do not securely identify a complete writer, actor and producer roster. Credits from the unrelated Suspense anthology or later television programmes are not assigned to these recordings.
Where to begin.
The Double-Cross · Behind the Mask
These available recordings offer an introduction to this collection. Their current publication dates are separate from historical broadcast dates.
An interesting detail.
A seemingly missing explanation may therefore belong in the next edition’s opening. This makes original programme order more useful than an alphabetical or modern publication-date list.
Listening appeal.
For the format’s beginning, choose The Doublecross, then Behind the Mask where available. End of the Trail and Silk Thieves are later examples; their positions should be checked against the programme log.
Collection and date notes.
HRV lists 30 public recordings. The thirty records do not guarantee that every required adjacent solution survives; full company credits remain unassigned. Current podcast dates describe later archive publication, separately from original broadcast dates.
