Just a reminder.. The post in this blog are just bits and pieces of the complete Quiet Please dedication website of mine which is currently hosted on a free server from the UK.

Newspaper mentions from the week:

 

"MBS is moving Quiet Please, its eerie series of dramas from Wednesday nights to 9:30 on Monday." -Morning Herald - Feb 2 1948

 

"There's been a switch in broadcast times for Mutual network's two "whodunits"--High Adventure and Quiet Please--thus bringing the latter to the 9.30 o'clock WEBR spot tonight while High Adventure moves over to Wednesdays at 8.30 p. m. Quiet Please, as many dialers know, is written by Wyllis Cooper, who preceded Arch Oboler on the original Lights Out series. His writings, as in earlier days, incline to the psychological as is evidenced in tonight's stanza--Pathetic Fallacy--which casts Ernest Chappell, actor-narrator, in the role of a college professor of philosophy who learns even inanimate objects hold strange secrets.".  -Buffalo Courier-Express (NY)  February 2, 1948.

 

"Wyllis Cooper, writer-director of Mutual's eerie "Quiet Please" series, has titled and plotted his stories on many subjects. He plans to dramatize a figure of speech when he presents "Pathetic Fallacy," as the program moves to a new MBS time period tonight (9:30 to 10 p. m., EST) over WESB. Ernest Chappell will play the role of a college professor of philosophy who learns that even inanimate objects hold strange secrets." -The Era, Bradford, (PA) Feb. 2 1948
