Subject: [rollei_list] With Folded Hands
I have just been listening to the Dimension-X radio
presentation of "With Folded Hands" It's pretty good
quality.

Have fun...Maurice
This program featured a stock company of New York
radio actors who's voices will be familiar to those brought
up on radio or who love old radio. New York had a somewhat
different approach to radio drama than did Chicago or
Hollywood. For those who have heard mostly Hollywood shows
New York productions will be interesting. I think a good
example is a show called _Twenty-First Precinct_ which is
available at archive.org. The recordings are poor but can be
listened to. These are little slice-of-life dramas, quite
different from other police procedurals like _Dragnet_ or
_Gangbusters_. They could easily be little stage
presentations. Very well done IMO.
One occasionally finds differnet shows done of the same
stories or even the same scripts. An example is a SF story,
the title of which I have fogotten but is about a group of
men blown off a space ship in space suits with only a
limited time to live. They talk by radio. The story was done
on Dimention-X (or possibly X-Minus One), on _Escape_,with
William Conrad in a leading role, and on _Suspence_. IMO the
Escape version was the best. They may all be available at
archive.org, not sure about that.
I also remember that a detective story in which the
main clue is rain water leaking through the roof left marks
in sugar (or flower maybe) which let the detective know the
time something or other happened. This same script was used
on _Tales of the Texas Rangers_ and on _Challenge of the
Yukon_. The CotY show must have been the first. I think many
of these shows used stock scripts which were revised as
necessary for the particular program.
