Calling All Cars, Volume 8 - Calling All Cars

Calling All Cars, a popular crime drama heard from 1933 to 1939. One of radio's earliest and most durable police procedural shows, the series' stark and gritty realism is strongly reminiscent of Warner Brothers gangster films of the 1930s- particularly with the presence of real-life LAPD dispatcher Jesse Rosenquist, whose unique voice and name became the show's trademark; Rosenquist contributed to the American lexicon the program's title and the now time-honored phrase that is all. None of the actors on the series ever received on-air credit, but sharp eared radio fans can hear the likes of Elvia Allman, Jackson Beck, Charles Bickford, Gale Gordon, John Bigson, Richard LeGrand, and Hanley Stafford. Episodes include: The Case of the Portuguese Crooner, The Case of the Four Lead Slugs, The Case of the Rasping Voice, The Case of the Blind Man's Bluff, The Case of the Poisoning Jezebel, December Rhapsody, Murder at Sunset, 6 Three Faces West, The Case of the Grass Skirt, The Case of the Silver Cord, The Case.
