  'NBC University Theater’ initially started in Chicago with a remit to bring adaptations of classic novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio audience. 
  Additionally, if listeners signed up they received college credit to a radio-assisted correspondence course.  A study guide, The Handbook of the World's Great Novels, was available for 25 cents. 
  In its later years it also included short stories and plays and went on to win the distinguished Peabody award. 
  Unlike many other radio shows University Theatre did not pursue the glamourous stars for its productions but instead relied on excellent distillations of the novels and first class acting alongside high production values. 
  But now its time to enjoy these timeless novels. Let’s begin.

  Philip Marlowe was the most hard-boiled of gumshoes, a Private Investigator who could smell a ruse, taste a betrayal and track down anyone hiding in the shadows.   
   
  The radio series was so successful but by 1949 it had the largest audience of any radio show.  That’s quite a claim, and even if not absolutely accurate it’s near the mark.   
   
  Marlowe, created by Raymond Chandler, is someone we all seem to know, a door who’s door we would  knock on in times of trial.  His methods might not be totally within the law but hey, these were bad people he was up against and as anyone in the law business knows – needs must. 
   
  Gerald Mohr is Philip Marlowe. And he’s ready for his next case.
