Hello and welcome to another episode of nostalgic mystery radio.

I'm your host, Stevie K.

And it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For this episode, I bring you, Broadway is My Beat, episode titled The Henry Baker Murder

Case, originally aired December 17, 1949, where a nice guy named Henry Baker is trying to give away $50,000

while his brother is trying to stop him.

So sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.

Thank you for listening.

Broadway's My Beat,

from Times Square to Columbus Circle,

the gaudiest, the most violent,

the lonest mile in the world.

Broadway's My Beat, with Larry Thor as detective Danny Clover.

Broadway, it's a tensled wilderness of steel and of stone, and the foliage of darkness is thick and unyielding. You make circles and pretend you're not lost. You make circles and walk

and try to break through, then you get the message. It can't be done. Because it's a cage, a big cage.

The animal cries you heard were your own.

It's Broadway, my beat.

At 10 o'clock of a bright December morning, Broadway's music shops open their loudspeakers.

And Broadway wears a scrub face, a new haircut and a flashy smile arranged to look appealing and innocent.

Because Broadway is on its way to con Santa Claus.

Then you get a look at yourself in a mirror decked with Holly, and you know you're doing

the same thing.
