This
Mutual anthology series featured murder and mystery books that were actual Doubleday
Crime Club imprints. There was a
new Crime Club book "every
week, at bookstores everywhere." It was certainly a natural to do a
radio show to tantalize potential purchasers with half hour radio adaptations
of the books. The
telephone rings: "Hello, I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the Crime Club. I'm the Librarian. Murder Rents A Room? Yes, we have that Crime Club story for you. Come right over" Later
the doorbell tones sullenly: "And you are here. Good. Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable? The book is on this shelf. Let's look at it under the reading lamp" The
Librarian begins reading the tale,
and we begin another Crime Club mystery dramatization - excellent sound
effects, moodily realized within an interesting and "noirish"
pretext. Barry
Thomson played the mild-mannered,
albeit ominous, Librarian. Roger Bower produced and directed. Veteran Willis Cooper wrote the scripts which were from the Crime Club
books Want
