ROGUE'S GALLERY Volume 1

Starring Dick Powell (12 half-hour episodes / 6 hours via digital download)

“Rogue's Gallery” came to Mutual in 1945 starring Dick Powell as Richard Rogue, a private detective who trailed luscious blondes, protected witness, and did whatever else detectives do to make a living. What set this show apart from others in the genre was that midway through every episode, Rogue would invariably end up getting knocked out and spending his dream-time in acerbic conversation on Cloud 8 with his subconscious self — named Eugor — which was “Rogue” spelled backwards. The presence of the alter ego, "Eugor," served to give Rogue enough information for his final deduction. Eugor would appear cackling like the host of The Hermit‘s Cave while imparting some vital information our hero had over-looked. Rogue would then awaken with a vague idea of what to do next. Directed by Dee Englebach, with music by Leith Stevens, Rogue’s Gallery employed radio’s best supporting actors including: Lou Merrill, Gerald Mohr, Gloria Blondell, Tony Barrett, Lurene Tuttle and Peter Leeds. Dick Powell left the series in 1946 and would later star as “Richard Diamond, Private Detective.” “Rogue’s Gallery” continued on until 1952 starring Barry Sullivan and later Paul Stewart as Richard Rogue.
