The Great Gildersleeve became one of radio's most successful situation comedies, and sixty years after it left the airwaves, it continues to be a favorite among old-time radio fans. As portrayed by Peary, the Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve character — who, on Fibber McGee, had a pronounced larcenous streak — mellowed considerably, settling into the comfortable role of kind and loving uncle to his niece and nephew. Assisted in the running the household by housekeeper Birdie Lee Coggins (Lillian Randolph). Outside the home, Gildersleeve's closest association was with Judge Horace Hooker (Earle Ross), with whom he had many battles during the first few broadcast seasons.
Singer and actor Harold Peary who brought the pompous and cantankerousness Gildersleeve to life, began his radio career back in 1923. A first generation American born to Portuguese parents, Peary’s real name was José Pereira de Faria ; but he changed it to make it easier to find work in the entertainment industry. While he had his own show as a singer, The Spanish Serenader, in San Francisco, it was only when he moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1937. It was Chicago when his career began to take off and soar when he became a regular on Fibber McGee and Molly because of his ability to voice and portray many different characters and their nationalities.
It was writer Don Quinn who thought up the name of Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve. Quinn named McGee’s nemesis that name because it was the most pompous name he could think of. Gildersleeve’s middle name remained one of radio’s most endearing mysteries until Fibber McGee and Molly found Gildersleeve’s personal dairy and began reading it in the October 22, 1940 episode of the Fibber McGee and Molly show. The full name of Fibber’s friendly nemesis is Throckmorton Philharmonic Gildersleeve.
So sit back and enjoy the twelve original broadcasts offered in this collection and presented exactly as broadcast, complete with commercials for Kraft Foods.

The news spread like wild-fire. A man had solved the problem of the ages — he was bringing the dead back to life! Operator #5, ace of the American Secret Service, recognized the grave menace. He realized the danger if the gigantic advances of modern science were employed selfishly by unscrupulous men. And that precisely was the danger facing his native land! The Master of Death, using the promise of life everlasting, was cunningly building an army of fanatic, half-mad followers, men who were burning, pillaging and slaying at the will of the man-monster they worshipped!
From out of the pages of Operator #5 magazine steps a dramatic hero who pits himself against threats to national security from all origins. Whether it’s a subversive internal threat, or a full-scale invasion from an enemy land, James Christopher stood ready and resolute to defeat it.
James Christopher did not technically belong to the U. S. Secret Service. He was a top agent for an America’s unnamed Intelligence Service. It was in his blood. His father, John Christopher, retired from the same agency years before. Answerable only to his superior, Z-7, and carrying a letter from the President of the United States identifying him as Operator #5, Jimmy Christopher played for keeps. He carried a rapier sewn into his belt, and in a golden skull hanging from his watch-chain was a reservoir of poison to be taken in the event of capture.
Aided by a small group of trusted assistant, ranging from his twin sister Nan to scrappy street urchin Tim Donovan, Jimmy Christopher was a one-man defense force. Into this unprecedented crisis plunged Jimmy Christopher. Only one man, but a man who embodied the American spirit — and stands prepared to perish to protect his country.
The Army of the Dead is read with stirring intensity by Milton Bagby. Originally published in the March 1935 issue of Operator #5 magazine.

Book-Length Spider Novel
Return Of The Racket Kings
by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
To the grim, staccato music of tommy-guns and the crashing overtones of “pineapples,” there rose once more the murderous gangs of the bootleg-crazy Twenties. Could the Spider protect his country, on three separate seething crime fronts — even as the Weasel and the Snake closed in for the kill — and Kirkpatrick’s gun blasted his last brilliant strategy?
Private Performance — For Death! — An Ed Race Story
by Emile C. Tepperman
The Masked Marksman’s act was fantastically unorthodox: The stage was a scaffold bearing an innocent man; the back-drop was an empty jailhouse; the spectators, all masked, were shooting at Ed Race — who seemed about to play his last role... in hell!”
