The Whistler is one of American
radio's most popular mystery dramas, with a 13-year run from May 16, 1942 until
September 22, 1955.The Whistler was the most popular West Coast-originated
program with its listeners for many years. It was sponsored by the Signal Oil
Company: "That whistle is your signal for the Signal Oil program, The Whistler."
Characters and story
Each episode of The Whistler began with the sound of footsteps and a person
whistling. (The Saint radio series with Vincent Price used a similar opening.)
The haunting signature theme tune was composed by Wilbur Hatch and featured
Dorothy Roberts performing the whistling with the orchestra.
The stories followed an effective formula in which a person's criminal acts were
typically undone by either an overlooked but important detail or their own
stupidity, except on some rare occasions when a curious twist of fate caused the
story to end happily for the episode's protagonist. Ironic twist endings were a
key feature of each episode of the series. The Whistler himself narrated, often
commenting directly upon the action in the manner of a Greek chorus, taunting
the criminal from an omniscient perspective.
Bill Forman had the title role of host and narrator. Others who portrayed the
Whistler at various times were Gale Gordon, Joseph Kearns, Marvin Miller
(announcer for The Whistler and The Bickersons and, later, Michael Anthony on
TV's The Millionaire), Bill Johnstone (who had the title role on radio's The
Shadow from 1938 to 1943) and Everett Clarke. Cast members included Hans Conried,
Joseph Kearns, Cathy Lewis, Elliott Lewis, Gerald Mohr, Lurene Tuttle and Jack
Webb.
Writer-producer J. Donald Wilson established the tone of the show during its
first two years, and he was followed in 1944 by producer-director George Allen.
Other directors included Sterling Tracy and Sherman Marks with final scripts by
Joel Malone and Harold Swanton. A total of 692 episodes were produced, of which
over 200 no longer have copies in existence. In 1946, a local Chicago version of
The Whistler with local actors aired Sundays on WBBM, sponsored by Meister Brau
beer.
