I mentioned in a previous post that the agreement with CBS for the regional WBBM Chicago series was that it had to be halted when CBS found a national sponsor for The Whistler. It did, Household Finance, and the way it played out did not go well. It was a mutually bad decision for HFC and CBS, but it did get a truly national sponsored presence for the franchise for the first time with the combination of Signal and this financial services company.

I found this newspaper clip about the series that replaced it in the Midwest. WBBM and its Whistler cast wanted to continue their efforts, so they concocted a series called "The Echo." The description just happens to sound like a Whistler clone. It also sounds like it could have been ... awful. While I curious to hear one, but thankful that none have survived. I'm still looking. The newspaper clip seems to imply that The Whistler in its Chicago version was a full beginning-to-end local production, but we know they were using Pacific Network scripts.

Whistler 1948-05-36 313 Incident at Hemsley AFRS.mp3
MEGA [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

This "new" episode is from an AFRS disc and from the Jim Fox collection that OTRR received. It is in Jerry Haendiges' log as
*na*    "INCIDENT AT HOMSUEY"   314  05-26-48
 
which is likely another example of sloppy handwriting from some tape reel contents sheet somewhere along the line that haunts us today Smile Transferring all these reels these past two years we see how this can happen!

I checked the story and there is a Helmsley (not a Hemsley) and there are places with names in the storyline in England. There is no "Homsuey" and Google kept yielding a Cantonese recipe Hom Suey Gok (a fried dumpling) when I searched on that Smile

This recording likely this fell out of circulation because of bad sound and being off-speed. It has been cleaned up.

There was only one newspaper clipping that could be found, but it only had the plotline and not the name. On the same date, HFC had "Bird of Prey" as their episode.

1948-05-26 N Hollywood CA Valley Times
Whistler Upgrades - Page 12 1948-283

We've heard the story before. The script was used later as "That Hemsley Affair" on 1950-09-24. So, it's not really "new" but "like new." We'll celebrate it just the same.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The Whistler log was being updated and the 1949-03-13 Search for Maxine was re-used as Four Hours to Kill on Philip Morris Playhouse when Spier was running that show and then on Suspense just a few months later when that was run by Spier and Macdonnell. The PMP is not available. It's interesting to hear how they adapted the script to Suspense. You can always tell the scripts that Spier believed were superior by the times he repeated them.

I don't know why some episodes have slightly different openings. Sometimes it could be a scratch or skip at the beginning of the disc recording that one person could not fix but another person could. Whatever the reason, here it is, pleasing the completists as they add it to their quirky collections.

It's the next-to-last unofficial end of Summer weekend... since we all know that US Labor Day and the long gone Jerry Lewis Telethon were always the official markers of the event. Yet another Summer has flown by... it seems to happen a day at a time...

You have to be careful with the nefarious Whistler. As a trick on collectors, the diabolical narrator and showrunner forced the CBS Pacific producers to use the same script titles on different stories. "I know many things, and I want to confound collectors and listeners three decades from now," he said. So you have things like "Til Death Do Us Part" being used three times for three different stories. Today's repeated title is "Solid Citizen."
