15 minute serialized detective/courtroom drama show
Capitalizing on the popularity of his Perry Mason novels, Erle Stanley Gardner brought his character to CBS radio in October of 1943. Billed as a "defender of human rights, champion of all those who seek justice", Mason was a wildly successful criminal defense attorney whose clients—generally accused of murder—were invariably innocent. Mason solved the cases, and proved his clients’ innocence by identifying the true criminal in each case, frequently by extracting confessions from the guilty.
Although Gardner wrote the initial scripts, the task was turned over to a writing team early in the series. These courtroom dramas included the same recurring characters that graced Gardner’s books--and the later television series--including girl Friday Della Street, originally played by Gertrude Warner; P.I. Paul Drake, voiced by Matt Crowley; and homicide detective Lieutenant Tragg, played by Mandel Kramer (who was later to become the last actor to voice Johnny Dollar, in Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar). All three of these actors later appeared on the television soap opera The Edge of Night", originally conceived as a daytime version of Perry Mason, until Gardner had a falling-out with CBS. The role of Perry Mason was originated by Barlett Robinson, who went on to a prolific career as a character actor on various television series, including Perry Mason, playing opposite Raymond Burr in the title role.
The series ran on CBS radio until 1955. About 3,000 episodes were aired, but we have only 265. The storylines run across several episodes, which unfortunately means that we are missing key episodes of some storylines.
