That kindly old investigator, Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons,
sought missing and murdered individuals longer than any other
fictional detective ever heard or seen on the air. For 18 years
(19371955) Keen and his faithful assistant, Mike Clancy,
entertained followers with their intuitive perception that kept
listeners coming back for more. With 1690 nationwide broadcasts,
Mr. Keen was the most resilient private detective in a namesake
role. The nearest competitors were Nick Carter, Master Detective
(726 broadcasts), The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (657) and The
Adventures of the Falcon (473).
This book presents a portrait of both the beloved character and
the venerable dramatic series. An introductory chapter examines the
significance of the sleuth in American entertainment. A concerted
effort is also made to properly define each Keen era and an
appendix provides an episodic log of the programs 1690
broadcasts.
