"The Magic Dust" was a fantastic episode. It flowed and I liked the banter in the bar with the pretty pianist. This would be an episode that I would recommend to a new listener. 4 stars.

Only two male actors are credited: Tony Roberts and Arnold Moss. It sounds like a third, uncredited, actor plays The Chief in this excerpt. Any guesses? Arnold Moss is Ballard, and The Chief doesn't sound like Tony Roberts.

It wasn't EG Marshall because Tammy Grimes hosted this episode. Actors often played more than one role. Tony was very good at that. Tony Roberts was great at changing his voice.

I've looked into the Cast List from "The CBS Radio Mystery Theater Episode Guide Book" and it shows only these 3 performers' names. The voice of the Chief must be Tony Roberts

The problem is that the P&G Episode Guide has many, many errors. It's not reliable.
