Most of our shows are episodes of popular, well-remembered
old-time radio shows. This one is different - it's the pilot
episode of a show that was not picked up as a regular
series.
It had two names: The announcer calls it The Adventures of
Max Chandler, but old-time radio fans call it The Whisper
Men.
Karl Swenson starred as Max Chandler, a spy-fighting radio
commentator. Karl was best known in radio as Lorenzo Jones in
the series of the same name, and in television he played Lars
Hanson on Little House on the Prairie. He was also Eddie
Haskell's father in Leave It to Beaver.
This episode of The The Whisper Men was broadcast on the Mutual
network on October 20, 1945.
