Rogue's Gallery was an old-time radio program starring Dick Powell as Richard Rogue, an exclusive detective who trailed luscious blondes, guarded witnesses, and performed other things that detectives do to make a living. What established this show apart from others in the genre was that midway through every tv show, Rogue would invariably conclude getting knocked away and spending his fantasy time in acerbic dialog on Cloud 8 with his subconscious self known as Eugor - Rogue spelled backward. The presence of the alter ego served to provide Rogue enough information for his last deduction. Eugor would appear cackling like the number of The Hermit's Cave while imparting some vital information our hero acquired forgotten. Rogue would then awaken with a hazy idea of how to proceed next. Directed by Dee Englebach, with music by Leith Stevens, Rogue's Gallery employed radio's best supporting stars, including Lou Merrill, Gerald Mohr, Gloria Blondell, Tony Barrett, Lurene Tuttle, and Peter Leeds. Dick Powell remaining the series in 1946 and would later star in Richard Gem, Private Detective. Rogue's Gallery sustained on until 1952, starring Barry Sullivan and later Paul Stewart.
