The Whisperer was an American
old-time radio program which broadcast 13 episodes on late Sunday afternoons
[5:00 p.m. Eastern] as a summer replacement from July 8 to September 30, 1951 on
NBC.
It was based on stories by Dr. Stetson Humphrey (in collaboration with his wife,
Irene).
The tone of the show was often tongue-in-cheek, and satirized the radio crime
dramas of the day.
Lawyer Philip Galt (Carleton G. Young), due to a college football injury, lost
his voice and can only speak in an eerie whisper. Galt infiltrates "the
syndicate" in his native Central City to bring down organized crime from within;
to the underworld, he becomes known as the Whisperer. Later, his voice is
restored through surgery, but he continues to lead a double life as the
Whisperer, relaying instructions by telephone from the syndicate bosses in New
York (who don't know he's a mole) to their lackeys in Central City, whom Galt is
actually setting up.
In the prologue to the final episode from September 30, 1951 titled "Strange Bed
Fellows", Philip Gault explains his history as follows: It all began 10 years
ago when I was kicked in the throat while playing college football. After the
bandages were removed I opened my mouth to speak and all that came out was this
rattling hiss. After a bakers dozen of women fainted when I spoke to them and
countless babies went into paraclisms [sic] of crying, I disappeared from my
usual haunts and went to work for a group which I later discovered were known as
the crime syndicate. I decided to stay with them and collect sufficient evidence
to help destroy them. Then one day I met Dr. Lee and through a miracle of
surgery he restored my voice enabling me to resume my real identity as Philip
Gault, Lawyer. This dual identity makes life very interesting. For if the
syndicate ever finds out that the Whisper, who passes on their orders, is really
Philip Gault, the man who has wrecked so many of their plans, there'll be slow
walking and low moaning. But I won't be around to comment on it.
Betty Moran portrayed Galt's girlfriend, Ellen Norris, the only person who knows
Galt's double identity, other than Dr. Lee. Paul Frees occasionally appeared as
Galt's "friend on the force", Lt. Charles Denvers. William Conrad frequently
appeared in different supporting roles under his alias, "Julius Krelboyne", as
he was under exclusive contract to CBS radio at the time.
Bill Karn was the producer-director (and occasional writer), and organist Johnny
Duffy supplied the background music.
The radio actor Carleton G. Young is sometimes confused with the film actor
Carleton Scott Young.
