    Some time ago somebody released the only known episode of the "Affairs of
    Peter Salem".

      The episode is a partial (5 mins, 14secs) and is titled, "Affair of the
    Murderous Mirror".

      While searching thru the NewspaperARCHIVE database, for the Bulldog
    Drummond series, I found the following description in the Long Beach
    Press-Telegram on January 27, 1953, page A-4.

      "A mirror that reflected the faces of those about to die forms the basis
    for the drama on 'Affairs of Peter Salem,' KHJ at 7:30 p. m.".

      This description fits the show perfectly.

      I am submitting this date & episode title to the OTRR's Otter database
    along with all other dates and titles I found for the Peter Salem series.

    Subject:  Martin Grams Jr. & Suspense book

    Particularly as one who posted a criticism of Martin Grams Jr. not very long
    ago, I commend his generous reaction to a question recently posed on this
    digest about the merits of his vs. a competitor's book on the SUSPENSE series.

    Martin long ago earned a reputation for helping others find materials. But
    the manner and style of his response to the query went way beyond what one
    ordinarily might expect.
