Broadway Is My Beat episode 001 The Jimmy_Dorn_Case aired July 7, 1949 on CBS Radio. Broadway aka The Great White Way. In its theatres—one day you’re an understudy, the next a star. Your name in headlines and lights. But Broadway has an underbelly. A troubling side through which to view humanity at its worst: corrupt, dark, venal, and violent. For Detective Danny Clover every time he walked that street another case was always just a few footsteps away. He knows everyone along Broadway—from panhandlers to operatic prima donnas—but he’s still sentimental about the street, forever an ever-changing wonderland of glamour that at any moment is ready to reveal its dark side.
