The Strange Dr Weird

Description

THE STRANGE DOCTOR WEIRD, played by Maurice Tarplin, occupied the "house on the other side of the Cemetery". Like THE SEALED BOOK, the shows in this series are variations of THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER shows. The shows were written by David Kogan. The announcer was Dick Willard. This short series lasted only from November 7, 1944 to May 22, 1945 and consisted of 29 shows, each 15 minutes long. The series originated in New York and was heard on the Mutual network. In New York City, that was radio station WOR. The Tuesday evening show aired from 7:15 to 7:30 P.M. and was sponsored by Adam's Hats. All shows are available to collectors.

The Strange Dr. Weird is a radio program broadcast on Mutual from 1944 to 1945.
