    Claudia Bryar ("Edith Tamber") was 46 years old here and appeared in almost every television series in the 50's - 80's era. She retired from acting when her husband of 45 years, Paul Bryar, died in 1985. Her late son Paul adopted the surname Barrere and was a member of the band "Little Feet."
    William Boyet ("Lt. Mort Geer") of course, was one of Webb's stable of actors who would appear in almost all of his productions.
    Hazel Franklyn ("Elva Higby") also played a role in the episode "The Big Beer" in the previous season of Dragnet.
    The opening announcer is none other than George Fenneman, who became a nationally-known figure as the on-screen announcer and side-kick for the entire 11-year run of the "You Bet Your Life" TV series with Groucho Marx. Fenneman was the opening announcer for Dragnet's entire first series, where this episode came from, as well as the 1967 series of Dragnet. Fenneman was the most sought-after voice talent in his day and was never out of work.

    Jack Edwards was very good at playing those bitter characters with an axe to grind. I first saw him in "Highway Patrol", an episode called Motorcycle A where he plays the embittered owner of a café whose wife was seriously injured by motorcycle bums. This Highway Patrol episode also features a young actor by the name of Clint Eastwood.

MACDONALD but in every series an alternate version of his COP character, like stepping thru a multiverse, I just discovered the 50's Dragnet and was super pleased to see him in it. New Old Treasures.
