Here is a series that was ahead of its time. I remember Jim Crow from my early childhood. The south was notorious for this. We still haven't learned the truth that all men are created equal. Why haven't we embraced this truth?

Synopsis
The Blue Beetle follows the exploits of Dan Garret, a rookie patrolman who, by wearing bullet-proof blue chain mail, transformed himself into the mysterious Blue Beetle, a daring crusader for justice.
After his father was killed by a gangster's bullet, young Dan Garret joined the New York Police Department, but soon tired of the slow pace and red tape of police work. With the help of his friend and mentor, drug-store proprietor Dr. Franz, Garret acquired a costume of bullet-proof chainmail-like cellulose material and began a second life fighting crime as The Blue Beetle.
Garret’s calling card was a small, beetle-shaped marker that he left in conspicuous places to alert criminals to his presence, using their fear of his crime-fighting reputation as a weapon against them. For this purpose, he also used a Beetle Signal flashlight. The Blue Beetle's reputation was not his only weapon, however. He carried a revolver in a blue holster on his belt and was sometimes shown wearing a multi-pouched belt after the style set by Batman. Also in the Batman vein, the Blue Beetle had a Beetle Mobile car and a Beetle Bird airplane. In at least one radio adventure he carries something called a “magic ray machine.” The ray machine was a sort of super-scientific cutting device.
The Blue Beetle was created by Charles Nicholas. The character made his first appearance in August of 1939 in the comic book Mystery Men #1, published by Fox Features Syndicate. A newspaper strip of the Blue Beetle’s adventures appeared in early 1940. The character continued at Charlton Comics and was revised in 1964 with the original Blue Beetle reincarnated in a new body with his name changed from Garret to Garrett. In 1983-84 DC Comics passed the role to Ted Kord which continued at DC Comics in 1985 where he continues to appear unto the present day, although in “retirement”. The current Blue Beetle is Jaime Reye, a teenager from El Paso, a new and different, dark and spooky version with a new costume.
The Blue Beetle radio program aired as early as April 30, 1940 in the Durham, NC, market and a Variety article indicates a total of 27 half-hour adventures were produced. The show sometimes aired in fifteen-minute segments and sometimes in thirty-minute segments depending on the station, so the total number of episodes existing in collectors’ circles is either 24 or 48 depending on their length. Actor Frank Lovejoy provided the voice of the Blue Beetle for the first thirteen episodes. Later episodes were uncredited. Virginia Coyle was credited in one newspaper as playing Helen Downey and Charles Nicholas, the character’s creator, was identified in numerous articles as writing the radio scripts.
The Blue Beetle ran as a syndicated show across many stations during 1940 and 1941. Newspaper listings indicate interest in the program cooled in subsequent years, but it could still be found on the air as late as 1946.

I used Goldin's date. Thank you for the correction. Just to confirm for myself, Bobby, I found that Bob Burns' son Stephen Foster Burns was born on Sunday, October 6, 1940. Ain't research fun!

This site has some nice transcription recordings, an eclectic bunch, that spans decades.

1947-05-12 The Lux Radio Theatre -Johnny O'Clock
This is a different network recording -- there is a complete one in circulation. This is from disc but the commercials were edited out in the copying of the disc, likely for an agent or for one of the performers. There is some scratchiness on the disc. This is more of a completist recording.

This is a nice NETWORK recording -- there is an AFRS recording in circulation in poor sound.

There are many other recordings there that might be of interest to Cobaltians. It's worth taking a look at the site. The recordings cannot be downloaded directly. If anyone can figure out how or who takes the time to let them play through their sound card and recording as it happens, please let the group know.

I know this post was from 11 months ago, but I have remembered this and I have finally gotten to where I have the time to work on this. So, I have been recording the streams from here and saving them as flacs. I will be happy to post them here at the club and am working from newest post to oldest post so that's where we will start. I'll post 1 a day.

The Man Called X 471130 Checkmate in Tahiti - 100th broadcast for Frigidaire

The interesting thing about this file is it contains some comments from Herbert Marshall at the :42 second mark about the Frigidaire sponsorship and also the opening commercial which the mp3 file in my collection doesn't have. The close is also a bit different from my mp3 file in that the mp3 has the usual CBS announcement while the audience is clapping. This disc has the CBS announcement made by the person adding the by transcription notation at the end without the audience.
