Broadway Is My Beat - "The Ruth Shay Murder Case" (05-30-53)

INTRO: Bob Plays From "This is Sinatra" written by Nelson Riddle "Time After Time" 1946
Broadway Is My Beat - The Ruth Shay Murder Case (Aired May 30, 1953)

The opening theme of "I'll Take Manhattan" introduced Detective Danny Clover (now played by Larry Thor), a hardened New York City cop who worked homicide "from Times Square to Columbus Circle -- the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world." Danny Clover narrated the tales of the Great White Way to the accompaniment of music by Wilbur Hatch and Alexander Courage, and the recreation of Manhattan's aural tapestry required the talents of three sound effects technicians (David Light, Ralph Cummings, Ross Murray). Bill Anders was the show's announcer. Show Notes From The Old Time Radio Researcher's Group.
