Crime and Peter Chambers
Peter Chambers, the dashing playboy private eye, came from the pen
of Henry Kane. The output of his writing career included over 60
novels, including about 30 featuring Peter Chambers. In an interest-
ing twist, Mr. Kane became the writer, director and producer for the
radio series based on his characters.
CRIME AND PETER CHAMBERS aired in 1954 on NBC stations, running from
April to September, 1954. A total of 23 30-minute shows were broad-
cast of which 21 are in circulation, according to Jay Hickerson's
"Ultimate Guide" (see References section below).
The part of Peter Chambers was played Dane Clark. Clark previously
acted tough guy parts in a number of movies, starting in 1942. He
made a fairly convincing detective. Bill Zuckert played Lt. Parker
in the series.
