520    The Whistler was one of radio's top mystery programs 
       airing from May 16, 1942 until September 22, 1955. The 
       Whistler was an ominous narrator who opened each episode 
       with, "I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I 
       walk by night. I know many strange tales, many secrets 
       hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped 
       into the shadows. I know the nameless terrors of which 
       they dare not speak." The opening dialog was heard over 
       the echo of footsteps and Wilbur Hatch's haunting 
       signature thirteen-note theme, whistled each week by 
       Dorothy Roberts. The stories followed an effective formula
       in which a person's criminal acts were typically undone by
       their own missteps. The Whistler narrated, often 
       commenting directly on the action in the manner of a Greek
       chorus, taunting the criminal from an omniscient 
       perspective. One of the show's trademarks was the ironic 
       twist endings that helped serve as a payoff for the 
       listener. Bill Forman had the title role of host and 
       narrator the longest. Others who portrayed the Whistler 
       included Gale Gordon, Lucille Ball's future television 
       costar; Joseph Kearns, Mr. Wilson on the television series
       Dennis the Menace; Marvin Miller, soon to be television's 
       Michael Anthony on The Millionaire; Bill Johnstone, the 
       Shadow on radio from 1938-1943; and Everett Clarke.
