The Adventures of Leonidas Witherall is a radio mystery series broadcast on Mutual from June 4, 1944, through May 6, 1945.[1]
Based on the novels of Phoebe Atwood Taylor (writing as Alice Tilton),[1] the 30-minute dramas were produced by Roger Bower and starred Walter Hampden as Leonidas Witherall,[1] a British professor of criminology at the Meredith School for Boys[2] in Dalton, Massachusetts, a fictional Boston suburb. Witherall, who resembled William Shakespeare, is an amateur detective and the accomplished author of the "popular Lieutenant Hazeltine stories."Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
His housekeeper Mrs. Mollett, who in the novels is constantly offering her "candied opinion", was played first by Ethel Remey and then Agnes Moorehead,[3] and Jack MacBryde appeared as Police Sgt. McCloud. The announcer was Carl Caruso. Milton Kane supplied the music.[4]
The program was heard on Sundays in "various evening timeslots".[1]
