Perry Mason
Attorney at Law
Perry
Mason is a fictional defense attorney who originally
appeared in detective fiction by Erle Stanley Gardner. This
long running radio drama had several actors who played the
famous lawyer starting with Bartlett Robinson and then
followed by Santos Ortega, Donald Briggs, and finally John
Larkin who played the famous attorney after 1947. The radio
portrayal of Perry Mason is a far more involved lawyer then
the one who became famous on TV, the radio version would
rather swap gunshots with evildoers than sit in a boring
courtroom, waiting for the deliberation! The show was only
10 minutes and was more intense and favored action than
courtroom drama. Perry Mason ran 12 seasons and moved to TV
in the late 1950's with the now famous portrayal by Raymond
Burr. Each show follows a continues story line similar to
soap operas. Join us as we join Perry Mason in crime
mysteries and court room drama
