Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back. Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going?

You'll find out when we get there.

Hey everybody.

Welcome back to the podcast.

All right.

Well, we've got another good one from suspense today called Pigeon in the Cage.

And this one was written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin.

It stars Mr. Dick Hames.

Also appearing in this play are Joseph Kearns, we've heard from him before, Charlotte Lawrence,

and Elliot Lewis. I'm going to say a few words about Mr. Dick Hames and then we'll get right

into it. Dick Hames was born September 13th, 1916. He was an Argentinian born actor and singer.

He was one of the most popular male vocalists of the 1940s and early 1950s.

At the age of 17, he moved to Los Angeles, where he initially worked as a stuntman and film double.

At the age of 19, he moved to New York City, where he worked as a vocalist and a number of big bands.

On September 3rd of 1942, Frank Sinatra introduced him on radio as Sinatra's replacement in the Tommy Dorsey band.

In 1945, he co-starred with Gene Crane, Dana Andrews, and Vivian Blaine in the musical State Fair.

He teamed up with female vocalist Helen Forrest for many hit duets during World War II.

From 1944 to 1948, he had his own radio program, The Dick Hames Show.

That was first on NBC and then later on CBS.
