"Kandy Tooth" and Sandra Gould's fill-in for Lurene Tuttle

In the entry for the two-part story, "The Kandy Tooth Caper," we find the following parenthetical aside, "originally aired on Suspense." The problem is that that version is included in a nine CD set of Sam Spade radio episodes, and is labelled there as having aired on January 10, 1948. This claims to be "a complete list of all shows" of the Suspense series, and lists only that 1948 performance of "Tooth." On the other hand, this comfirms the airdate for the Spade two-part version already given. Since Suspense host Robert Montgomery cameos as Philip Marlowe within the story, the play must have been reperformed for Suspense, rather than simply reran with a new intro and closing by Montgomery, and I'll change the listing here to that, and Wikilink Suspense while I'm in there. My edit summary will have a link to this.

Second point: There is an introductory (to the CBS episode listings) statement that Sandra Gould filled in for the vacationing Lurene Tuttle "in the June 27, 1948 show." The aforementioned box set's packaging claims to contain this episode, "The Bail Bond Caper" by name, but what's actually in there is "The Wheel of Life Caper" from two weeks later, July 11. Yet Gould rather than Tuttle plays the woman to whom Sam dictates his report (the series' standard narrative format). No mention of her being new, however, she's just there. Did Tuttle's vacation take longer than suggested here? If someone knows for sure, we should say as much in the article, but I've told you all I know about this.

UPDATE: I've gone a little further into these recordings, and the next episode in the order packaged is the July 4, 1948 installment, and Gould rather than Tuttle is there as well. It is followed by the August 1 show, with Tuttle simply present (no "Welcome back, Effie" or some such), so I can't say just when she did get back. Ted Watson (talk) 18:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
