Art is Long and Crime is Fleeting (Boston Blackie, Jeff Regan, The Saint, & Johnny Dollar)

Description
I may not know art, but I know what I like - and I like these four radio mysteries involving masterpieces, the artists who make them, and the crooks who try to steal them. First, Boston Blackie is forced to participate in an art heist to save his friend (syndicated episode known as "The Abbott Painting"), and a beautiful woman wants a missing artist found in "The Barefoot Boy with Shoes Gone" from Jeff Regan, Investigator (AFRS rebroadcast of a show from January 25, 1950). The Saint steps into the world of international art smuggling in "Button, Button" (originally aired on NBC on March 11, 1951), and a $200,000 painting could be a priceless work of art or a clever forgery in "The Allen Saxton Matter" from Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar (originally aired on CBS on October 20, 1953).
