Relic Radio.com presents tales of the strange and bizarre, the weird and the wicked.

Stories not necessarily of the supernatural, but of the unnatural.

Join us now for Strange Tales, featuring radio drama at its most mysterious and unusual.

Welcome back to Strange Tales. Thanks for joining me this Sunday.

We're going to hear a story from suspense this week, a CBS series that debuted in 1942, aired for 20 years, until 1962, produced over 900 episodes.

Our story today is Banco's chair. It was heard three times over the series.

This is the first production of the story from June 1, 1943.

Music In just a moment, CBS will present its weekly program of the world's outstanding thrillers, suspense. Before we begin, the producer

feels it incumbent upon him to reply herewith to the many inquiries concerning the solution

of last week's story of the woman on the telephone called Sorry Wrong Number. Due to a

momentary confusion in the studio, an important line cue was delivered at the wrong time,

and some of our listeners were uncertain as to the outcome of the story.

For them, be it known that the woman, so remarkably played by Miss Agnes Moorhead,

was murdered by a man whom her husband had hired to do the job.

We should also like to announce that in response to many hundreds of requests,

this suspense play will be repeated within a few weeks.

And now this is the man in black.

Here again to introduce our performance tonight of suspense.

No. of suspense. Our stars this evening are two distinguished gentlemen from the Hollywood sound stages, Mr. Donald Crisp, and Mr. John Loder.
