Born June 11, 1914, Gerald Mohr possessed one of radio\'s best voices, and it produced one of the greatest performances - in any medium - of Raymond Chandler\'s Philip Marlowe. We\'ll hear Mohr as Marlowe in "The Panama Hat" (originally aired on CBS on October 10, 1948) and "The Bum\'s Rush" (originally aired on CBS on September 3, 1949). We\'ll also hear him as a less scrupulous private eye in "Five-Cent Call" from\\xa0The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on February 19, 1950).
