Episode 511 - Ms. Helen Mack, Mack, Mack (Richard Diamond & The Saint)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Note: Intros should be back by next week!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Helen Mack began her career as a child actress in the 1920s and she went on to make appearances in <em>Son of Kong</em> and <em>His Girl Friday</em>. But in the 1940s, she transitioned into a new phase of her career as a producer and director of radio shows. She was behind the scenes of comedies like <em>Meet Corliss Archer</em> and <em>A Date with Judy</em> and she helmed dozens of episodes of <em>Richard Diamond</em> and <em>The Saint</em> - two shows marked by a wry sense of humor mixed in with the mysteries. We'll celebrate Ms. Mack's birthday with some of her work in the world of radio detectives. Dick Powell stars as Richard Diamond in "The Marilyn Connors Case" (originally aired on ABC on January 12, 1951) and "The Man with the Scar" (originally aired on ABC on January 26, 1951). And in between those shows, we'll hear Vincent Price as Simon Templar in "The Bride Who Lost Her Groom" from <em>The Saint</em> (originally aired on NBC on February 11, 1951).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Next week: Old time radio mysteries starring the voices of some classic Disney villains!</span></p>
