There is an intriguingly anachronistic quality to this series - they seem to have been written by radio-play writers who hadn't updated their styles since the 40s. I enjoy them very much, but clearly they were a cash-cow for CBS Radio put together by Hi Brown. Cheaply written and cheaply produced. Often the actors are better than the scripts (Mercedes McCambridge is outstanding) but the actor pool is far too small. I have never heared so many different characters with the same Yiddish accent! Animal sounds and children's voices are also often done (most unconvincingly) by adult voice-actors. Ingteresting articles for "CBS Mystery Theatre" and "Hi Brown". Also for Ms. McCambridge, whose life took a horribly tragic turn.<br>
