the Teddy Wilson Trio were featured.

radio shows ran 30 minutes. The stars were: Matt Crowley, Casey; Jim
Backus, Casey (briefly); Staats Cotsworth, Casey; Jan Miner, Ann
Williams and John Gibson.
Begun
as over 20 popular short stories in Black Mask, there were films and
novels before the stories were brought to radio under various names.
The series aired on CBS. The radio show was sustained by the network
when a sponsor could not be found. Sponsors of the show include
Anchor Hocking, Toni home permanents, Toni Shampoo and Philip
Morris.
Flashgun" Casey was featured in 21 short stories in Black Mask, a
popular pulp magazine of the time. Collections of these stories were
published in anthology form as well. Coxe wrote five novels
featuring Casey from the 1930s to the 1960s. Two films were produced
in the 1930s. A four-part Marvel Comics tie-in to the radio show was
published in the 1940s.
