“Some time within the next two weeks WTOP will launch an ambitious series of programs—
ambitious, that is, for the local field. This will be a series of mystery dramas titled ‘The Devil’s
Playhouse,’ with each broadcast a complete story. New scripts and scripts that have been heard on
the air in the past will be replayed, such as the more effective dramas from the program
‘Suspense.’ Incidentally, Betty Grove, who is supervising the writing, says that she would like to
see some samples from listeners. So if you think that you can write a mystery script, get in touch
with Betty at WTOP; there might be a market for your endeavors.” (Washingston Star, May 7,
1944)
