Calling All Cars Old Time Radio Program CD 1
˝ hour detective show
Calling All Cars is a classic early police drama. The show portrayed
true crime stories of the Los Angeles Police Department from the 30's. This
is one of the earlier Old Time Radio Programs, airing from 1933 to 1939. “Calling
All Cars” was one of the first, if not the first, police procedural, setting
the stage for such later hits like Dragnet and Precinct 21. The show focused
on the daily grind of police work, rather than a detective getting a wild hunch
that just so happens to be correct.
Above all, the show went for authenticity. The producers even went so far
as to not just tell true stories, but have the actual policemen tell those stories.
That’s right, they used real policemen, not actors to introduce their stories.
In some ways having real policemen introduce their stories is terrific, but, too
be honest, professional radio actors can portray policemen better than real policemen
can. Actors got their jobs because they understand building tension, clear
enunciation, timing, and, well, acting, whereas true policemen … didn’t
get their jobs because of any of those traits. But still having the real
policemen star in their own stories is a great way to tell a story. The
show did utilize professional actors as the narrator and to dramatize the stories.
The narrator of the program was Charles Frederick Lindsley. Also appearing
throughout the run was real-life LAPD dispatcher Jesse Rosenquist, who became
a small-time celebrity
with his phrase
‘That is all’.
