Would like to help fix
ARossi or Bert Szoghy? I'm sorry I can't find a way here to contact the right person to help this collection. I have the missing "48-08-24 Letter Arrives" which another reviewer noticed was a duplicate of the previous episode making this one missing. It was on a reel I have made in 1971.

So fun to listen to
I'd never heard of Chandu until I came to Archive .org. Now I'm hooked.
I hope it isn't removed like THE Shadow series was.
I appreciate the effort of the group that searched for and downloaded this wonderful series. BRAVO!!!

a note of thanks
Just a note of thanks to those who are uploading the Old Time Radio Shows. It has been a real treat for me to be able to download these for my Grandpa to listen to. So nostalgic for him. Thank you for bringing back so many memories and for the opportunity for him to share a bit of his childhood with me.

Duplicate/Missing show
"48-08-24_LETTER_ARRIVES.MP3" unfortunately appears to be a copy of the previous day's episode ("48-08-23_DOUGLAS_TELLS_ROXOR.MP3"). So far this is the only one I've found, though I've still got about 1/2 to 2/3 of the series to get through! (Fortunately, each episode starts with a brief narrative of previous events, so whatever we missed from the August 24, 1948 broadcast is made up quickly at the beginning of the August 25 episode.)
Otherwise, sound quality is generally clean, the story is entertaining, and the advertisements for the (defunct as of the mid 1980's or so) sponsoring company is oddly amusing to listen to.
You know what I say after listening to these for a while? Do you? I say, "I love White King Granulated Soap."

Things you should know
1. None of these episodes stars Gayne Whitman. Although he DID play Chandu once upon a time these are all recordingf from the later series (which virtually recreated all the earlier shows) with Tom Collins (of "I Love Adventure" fame (he plays Reggie York on that series) as Frank Chandler (aka Chandu).
In the movie serial "Thed Return of Chandu" Bela Lugosi played this part, Which is kind of interesting. In the previous serial (which no longer exists--=at least no film has been found to date---he played "Roxor" which seems more his style, really.
In the Ritz Brothers comedy version of "The Gorilla" Lugosi spoofs his Chandu role with hilarious results.
Good radio series, though.
