Episode 457 – Last Laughs (Deductions Deluxe, Amazing Mr. Smith, and Results, Incorporated)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Radio sleuthing wasn't always a serious business. Some detectives successfully mixed in comedy with their crimesolving, and we'll hear three examples this week. First, Adolphe Menjou and Verree Teasdale as a husband and wife duo in <em>Deductions Deluxe</em>, an audition recording that aired on <em>Forecast</em> (originally aired on CBS on July 28, 1941). Then, Allyn Joslyn stars as <em>The Amazing Mr. Smith</em> in "The Story of the Hooting Owl" (audition recorded on November 5, 1946). Finally, Lloyd Nolan and Claire Trevor are the operatives of the agency <em>Results, Incorporated</em>. They're on the hunt for a missing mummy in this episode (originally aired on Mutual on December 30, 1944).</span></p>
