30 minute detective/mystery show
Rogue’s Gallery was Dick Powell’s initial foray into radio detective drama, and the precursor to his later, and much better known series, Richard Diamond, Private Detective.
Powell played the role of Richard Rogue, a relatively typical private eye. The hook for these stories was that at some point during each episode, Rogue would lose consciousness, generally as a result of being knocked out by some bad guy. While Rogue was unconscious, his alter ego, Eugor ("Rogue" spelled backwards; played by Peter Leeds) would take over. Introduced by a sinister chuckle, Eugor would introduce a piece of information that Rogue had overlooked, and that would allow him to ultimately solve the mystery du jour.
The series included appearances by recurring characters played by a strong group of solid and competent actors, including the enormously versatile and highly respected Lurene Tuttle and Lou Merrill, Gerald Mohr (episode narrator for the Lone Ranger in 1949), Gloria Blondell (the younger sister of Powell’s former wife, Joan Blondell), and Tony Barrett.
Although Powell was the original Rogue beginning in Sept. 1945, the show went through a few incarnations, in which the character of Rogue was played by Barry Sullivan, then by Chester Morris, the original Boston Blackie.
