Calling All Cars - "Fingerprints Don't Lie" (07-11-34)

INTRO: Bob Recalls and Reviews "Calling All Cars" (1934) Crime Drama

"Fingerprints Don't Lie" (Aired July 11, 1934)

 

Crime stories and introduced by officers from the Los Angeles and other police departments. The narrator of the program was speech professor Charles Frederick Lindsley, and the only other regular voice heard on the program week after week belonged to that of Sergeant Jesse Rosenquist of the L.A.P.D., whose name and voice were so unusually distinctive that he was retained for the show’s entire run. None of the actors on the show ever received on-air credit, but among the talent OTR fans can hear the likes of Elvia Allman, Jackson Beck, Charles Bickford, John Gibson, Richard LeGrand and Hanley Stafford, just to name a few.
