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 yesterday year.

For this episode, I bring you, Broadway is My Beat, episode titled The Val Dane Case, originally aired August 25th, 1949.

Or a universally hated author is found dead of starvation in a room full of food.

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

Thank you for listening.

The FBI and Peace and War

ordinarily heard at this time throughout the years

taking its usual summer vacation

and will return to CBS one week from tonight on September 1st.

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 swamp that'll drag you breath by breath into its shadowed pools,

or it's a meadow shining with golden light.

It's a place and a time and a loneliness that reaches out for you,

then beckons you

into an airless room and locks the door. You get out or you don't. Either way, it's Broadway,

my beat. A man dies in silence and in dark and the city sets up a shrieking clamor, and you're part of it. You ride a scream through the crowded, heat-heavy streets, and then you hit a dead end. And it's a building, and a room at the top of the building. And it's a man lying in the center of the room, while other men take notes on the history of his dying. All right, Joe. Get one from this angle, huh? Yeah, hold a light,

while I'll focus, will you?

Hi, Danny.
