Week before last I heard a great “Lone Wolf” dramatization — on “Suspense”!
(From 1943. I heard it on Toronto’s AM 740.)
I didn’t know “Suspense” did that.
Warren William was Michael Lanyard, the Lone Wolf. He’s much better on radio than on the silver screen, where he’s wooden.
Eric Blore was his valet Jameson. He’s outstanding on both radio and film.
Sorry to see Ed go.
Sorry to hear Ed is ending his career,(he’s 83) but it’s on a good note.
I have enjoyed the program on many Sundays, this one is very good.
Good luck Ed.....Happy trails..

Over the years, Walker and Scott also worked at WMAL and WOL.....
