 Let George Do It was a radio drama series produced by Owen and Pauline Vinson from 1946 to 1954. It starred Bob Bailey as detective for hire George Valentine, with Olin Sol stepping into the role in 1954. Clients came to Valentine's office after reading a newspaper carrying his classified ad. Personal notice, dangers my stock and trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you've got a job for me, George Valentine. The few earliest episodes were more sitcom than private eye shows, with a studio audience providing scattered laughter at the not so funny scripts. Soon the audience was banished, and George went from a stumbling comedic hero to tough guy private eye and the music from wah-wah-wah to suspenseful. Valentine's secretary was Claire Brooks, a.k.a. Bruxy. Bruxy was later played by Frances Robinson, Virginia Gregg and Lillian Biaf. As Valentine made his rounds in search of the bad guys, he usually encountered Bruxy's kid brother Sonny, played by Eddie Firestone, Lieutenant Riley, acted by Wally Mayer, and Joseph Kearns as elevator man Caleb. For the first few shows, Sonny was George's assistant, but he was soon relegated to an occasional character. Sponsored by Standard Oil, the program was broadcast on the West Coast Mutual Broadcasting System from October 18th, 1946 to September 27th, 1954. First on Friday evenings, and then on Mondays. In its last season, transcriptions were aired in New York on Wednesdays at 9.30 p.m. from January 20th, 1954 to January 12th, 1955. John Heinstead was the program's announcer. Don Clark directed the scripts by David Victor and Jackson Gillis. The background music was supplied by Eddie Dunsteader, initially with a full orchestra. When television supplanted radio as the country's primary home entertainment, radio budgets got skimpier and skimpier, and Dunsteader's orchestra was replaced by an organ. I am your announcer, Bob Hicks. Please enjoy the shows.
