_____________________________________
 
THE WHISPERER was a sustained Summer 
series, broadcast on NBC from July 8 to 
September 30, 1951, Sunday evenings from 
5:00 to 5:30 PM. It ran for a total of 13 
episodes.

The series presents the stories of Peter 
Gualt, a man who leads a double life, 
Peter Gualt, the lawyer, and The 
Whisperer, a crime syndicate front.  
Peter has a strange speech impediment 
which causes him to speak in a whisper 
at all times.  A gifted surgeon performed 
an operation which not only allowed him 
to speak in a normal voice, but allowed 
him to revert back to the whisper at will.  
The onlyperson that knows about Gualt's 
double life is Ellen Morris, a nurse who 
assisted in the operation.

Carleton Young starred as attorney 
Philip Galt.  Betty Moran played the part 
of Ellen Norris.  The cast was filled out 
during the series by such Hollywood radio 
stalwarts as William Conrad, Earl Lee, Torry Bennett, Janet Scott, Betty Lou Gerson, and Paul 
Freese.  The announcer was Donald Rickles.  Scripts were written by Jonathan Twice.  The 
series was produced and directed by Bill Karn.  Organ music was by Johnny Duffy.

The series was based on stories and characters created by Stetson Humphries.
