Rogue's Gallery
_____________________________________
 
   Dick Powell was no stranger to radio. Originally, a song-and-dance 
man, he appeared in many movies prior to being cast as Richard Rogue. 
And this was not his first time on radio. In the late 1930s he hosted 
Your Hollywood Parade, a variety show featuring the stars at Warner 
Brothers. This was followed by appearances on the OLD GOLD SHOW 
for a short time in early 1934. For next few years he guested on many 
shows including THE HOLLYWOOD HOTEL and the LUX RADIO THEATER. Then in 
1941 he and his then wife Joan Blondell starred in MISS PINKERTON, INC. 
Whether or not this ever became a radio series is not known since only the 
first show survives. Still being active and starring in movies he became 
Richard Rogue of ROGUE'S GALLERY. He played a sweet-talking, 
wise-cracking private detective. He never failed to solve a case but not 
without the help of his alter-ego, Eugor (Rogue spelled backwards). 
Rogue never failed to get bashed on the head and would, in this euphoric 
state, hear from Eugor who would offer clues 
that would help solve the case.        
    Dick Powell as Richard Rogue was a summer replacement for the 
Fitch Bandwagon for two years. Sandwiched in between these two was 
a full season of the show. Powell left the show but ROGUE'S GALLERY 
continued with Barry Sullivan, Chester Morris and Paul Stewart 
re-creating the role.
