The Crime Club was a radio show aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System that featured murder and mystery dramas, many of which were adaptations of books published by the Doubleday Crime Club. Each episode began with a phone call to the series host, The Librarian, who would then invite the caller to listen to a Crime Club story. The Librarian, portrayed by Barry Thomson and Raymond Edward Johnson, would read the prologue, setting an ominous tone for the story to follow. The series featured a variety of sinister and suspenseful tales, with scripts by Stedman Coles and Wyllis Cooper, who were known for their work on Lights Out and Quiet Please.</p><p>The show was broadcast from December 2, 1946, to October 16, 1947, with a total of 47 episodes. It aired on Mondays at 8 p.m., and later on Thursdays at 10 p.m., with some stations also airing the show on Wednesdays and Sundays. The radio series was an adaptation of the Doubleday Crime Club publishing imprint, which first began in 1928 and published a wide array of detective and mystery fiction. The Crime Club also had connections to the film industry, with Universal Pictures producing several movies based on the published novels from 1937 to 1939. The radio show was directed and produced by Roger Bower, while veteran Willis Cooper contributed to some of the scriptwriting.
