Download The Lineup, Vol. 1 AudioBook Free
From the golden era of radio comes 12 shows of the popular and practical police procedural. The Lineup was a hard-boiled play. Like Dragnet, it realistically showed police doing their jobs. The show always started out with a police sergeant placing your order suspects to stand at attention so the sufferer, behind one-way goblet, could try to identify the criminal. As the lineup was rarely the main element to solving the truth, it did supply the show a tempo and also allowed for laughter in the interrogation of the suspects by the sergeant. Invoice Johnstone, most widely known among the voices of The Darkness, starred as Lieutenant Ben Guthrie. Wally Maher formerly played out Sergeant Matt Grebb, until the actor's death. His personality was changed by Sergeant Pete Carger, played out by Jack Moyles. The supporting cast participants were a who's who of Hollywood radio stars, including Howard McNear, William Conrad, Barton Yarborough, Hy Averback, and Natural herb Butterfield. The series started out as a summertime replacement for The FBI in Peace and Battle in 1950, but soon got its time slot machine game and would remain on radio until the spring of 1953 prior to making a successful changeover to television.
