Play The Sealed Book on Radio Days

Each week the keeper of the book opened the ponderous door of a secret vault and read another tale of murder, madness and dark deeds. Robert Arthur and David Kogan, who also made The Mysterious Traveler, created The Sealed Book, and reused some of that show's stories. Philip Clarke narrated. It ran on Mutual on Sunday nights from March 18 to September 9, 1945: 26 episodes, all of which survive.
