Casey,
Crime Photographer, known by a variety of titles on radio (aka Crime
Photographer, Flashgun Casey, Casey, Press Photographer) was a media
franchise from the 1930s to the 1960s. The character was the
creation of novelist George Harmon Coxe. Casey was featured in the
pulp magazine, Black Mask, novels, comic books, radio, film,
television and legitimate theatre.
Jack
"Flashgun" Casey, was a crime photographer for the newspaper The
Morning Express. With the help of reporter Ann Williams (best
remembered portrayed by Jan Miner, Palmolive's "Madge"), he solved
crimes and recounted his stories to friends at the Blue Note, their
favorite tavern and jazz club where the Archie Bleyer Orchestra and
the Teddy Wilson Trio were featured.
The
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.
In 1951
the popular series moved to television. It’s first telecast was
April 19, 1951 and the show ended on June 5, 1952. Casey was played
by Darren McGavin from June 1951 to April 1952. Ann Williams, Jan
