Phyl Coe

(4,2 Sterne; 5 Bewertungen)

The Phyl Coe Mysteries was a syndicated radio series that came out in 1936, with the lead character's name designed to reflect the sponsor, Philco Radio Tubes. PHYL (short for Phyllis) COE is described as the "beautiful girl detective". She was a private investigator who was smart, aggressive, and a "take-charge" lady. In one episode where a magician is shot on stage, Phyl, who is attending the performance, with her boy friend, leaps to the stage, barks orders to theatre personnel, and solves the crime before the cops even get there. In other mysteries, she identifies the thief of a famous painting, solves the mystery involving a new death-ray gun, and solves a murder aboard an aeroplane.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Theme Music

(3 Sterne)

The theme music for this show (at least for the "Double X Mystery") is basically the same as the 1932 radio series "Police Headquarters", but much shorter. In the "Police Headquarters" series, a 15 minute series, the theme music lasted about 3 minutes of the entire show.
