Step back into the early days of television with Front Page Detective — a rare crime-drama series from the DuMont Network, first broadcast in 1951. Starring veteran actor Edmund Lowe as newspaper columnist David Chase, the show dramatized stories of intrigue and murder inspired by the popular Front Page Detective true-crime magazine.
In this lost episode, “The Lonely One” (1951), Chase receives a mysterious package containing a glass ball and a sentimental love poem. When two murder victims are later discovered with identical gifts, the journalist finds himself caught in a deadly puzzle. Is he next?
Supporting performances by George Pembroke, Isabel Withers, Lester Sharpe, Donna Martell, Rudy McKool, Maralou Gray, and Joel Smith add depth to this suspenseful half-hour of vintage television history.
Broadcast at the dawn of network TV and preserved on film, Front Page Detective is one of the many rare series that vanished after DuMont ceased operations. Thanks to preservation, this surviving episode offers a glimpse into the noir-inspired storytelling and live-drama atmosphere of early 1950s television.
Restored, remastered, and preserved on 16mm film by Moviecraft Inc.

    I’m here for two things: Cool Vintage TV, and that happy little wizard chuckling at the start of each show. Thanks for all the great entertainment!

      That is YouTube paying the bills. Sorry but I do not have control over ads. A YouTube subscription for no ads costs $7.99 per month for YouTube Premium Lite

    AT 2 minutes 46 seconds into the video, Lt Andrews wearing his hat at his desk- Cute. A majority of all TV cops shows of the 1950’s had the detective wearing his hat at their desk.
