The Whistler - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - December 26, 1943

"I am The Whistler and I know many things, for I walk by night..."

The Whistler was more Inner Sanctum than The Shadow, as he was more of a commentator/host for the episode's story than a recurring character.

I do remember seeing an album containing two episodes of The Whistler in the Old Time Radio LP section at, I believe, Gemco. That would have been the late 70s or the first year or so of the 1980s. When I was really into listening to OTR. I had a collection of Lum and Abner cassettes, a Burns and Allen LP, as well as one for The Shadow. No idea why I passed on nabbing The Whistler, but it was a decision I came to regret. So it goes.

While there are a great many episodes of The Whistler archived on various websites, this particular episode appears to be one of those that was lost to the ravages of time and circumstance. I could not find it anywhere...
