Today’s Old Time Radio Detective Drama...
From The Shadow, it’s “Death in a Minor Key” from June 2, 1946. This encore presentation of one of the show’s most popular episodes finds the Shadow investigating strange deaths at a sanitarium.

‘The White Witchman of Lawaiki’:
In celebration of the May 5th birthday of perennial ‘Shadow’ actor BRET MORRISON: A fine episode from the 1946 season: ‘The White Witchman of Lawaiki’. A sort of take-off on Walter B. Gibson’s ‘Voodoo Master’, in which an island death cult worships a supernatural foreigner, who logic tells us is likely a criminal charlatan.
Original Air Date: May 5th, 1946
Bret Morrison: Lamont Cranston/The Shadow Grace Matthews: Margot Lane

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
For ten years on radio as The Shadow, Bret Morrison knew. Morrison, a cabaret singer and actor, starred on radio as “Mr. First Nighter” in The First Nighter Program, but he is best known for his ten years as radio’s invisible crime fighter, The Shadow. Morrison played the role from 1943 until 1944, then returned to the series in 1945 and remained until the show left the air in 1954. For generations of radio listeners, Bret Morrison was the Shadow.
