[upbeat music] Now we present Herbert Marshall as The Man Called X, the Friday night feature on NBC's five-show festival of comedy, music, mystery, and drama.

Brought to you by [upbeat music] the makers of Anacin for fast relief from pain of headache, neuritis, neuralgia.

Here are some that I came up with that where there were TV versions of some sort made.

Some, uh, and this is, uh, The Lineup, Dangerous Assignment, The Man Called X, Gangbusters, Suspense, Casey Crime Photographer, Richard Diamond, Tales of the Texas Rangers, Our Miss Brooks, Li- The Life of Riley, Life with Luigi, The Great Gildersleeve, Fibber McGee and Molly, Burns and Allen, Abbott and Costello, Dr. Christian, Easy Aces, uh, Lux Radio Theater, Your Favorite Story, Ozzie and Harriet.

And that's not counting all the shows that they did pilots for, uh, Box 13, Notbe, Lum and Abner, Duffy's Tavern, uh, all recorded, uh, pilots.

And of course, there was the Amos 'n Andy TV, uh, program based on the radio series.

We'll be back next week with another episode of Jeff Regan.

But coming up, uh, tomorrow we'll be bringing you an episode of The Man Called X where...

[phone ringing] Ken Thurston speaking.

Mr. Thurston, you're home.

Still, we have 27 of the 29 episodes, which is actually a really good percentage, particularly Particularly for the era it ran, late 1951 and early 1952 are not particularly kind for NBC detective programs.

There's a big gap in Nightbeat, a big gap in The Man Called X, a big gap in Dangerous Assignment.

So having 27 of 29 when your entire runtime was over that period is actually a remarkable success.

Still, I definitely would love to hear those two missing episodes of The Silent Men, and if I stumble upon them, we will definitely bring them to you.

If you've been searching for a mystery on Saturday night, put away your magnifying glass and follow these clues.

Dial this NBC station tomorrow evening and listen for the chimes, and then you'll be off on a perilous trip with The Man Called X starring Herbert Marshall.

And if you've been searching for music, too, on Saturday, then Eileen Wilson is your dish as she stars in your hit parade with Snooki Lanson and Raymond Scott's orchestra.

And

Man.

presents The Man Called X.
