Tom Conway portrayed Mark Saber from October 1951 to June 1954. Donald Gray, a native of South Africa, played the part from December 1955 through May 1960.[2] Nelson Case was the announcer.[2] Several of the episodes were combined and released as second feature films. The character originally appeared in the radio series ABC Mystery Theater. The debonair Saber wore pinstriped suits and sported a pencil-thin mustache. He tracked down criminals by his brilliant use of deduction as well as by regular police methods. Saber always got the culprit he pursued. His assistant, the more traditional Sergeant Tim Moloney, was first played by James Burke. A succession of actors comprised the supporting cast. One of the longest-performing of the cast members was Colin Tapley as Inspector Parker of Scotland Yard. The program also had different titles during its nearly-nine-year run: Mystery Theater, Inspector Mark Saber - Homicide Squad, The Vise, and finally Saber of London.[2] In syndication and in rebroadcasts on Saturday afternoons on NBC from 1957 to 1961, the series was entitled Detective's Diary.[3] ProductionThe series aired at various times on ABC between 1951 and 1957, with a year and a half absence from the screen between June 1954 and December 1955. Saber of London was renamed and switched to NBC beginning in September 1957, when it aired at 7:30 p.m. EST on Fridays, opposite Leave It to Beaver, then on CBS, and The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin on ABC. In the 1958-1959 season, Saber of London switched to 7 pm on Sundays, opposite CBS's Lassie. In its last year, 1959–1960, it was moved half an hour earlier, just outside prime time, to 6:30 EST on Sundays.[4] The 1955-1957 segments, which aired on ABC at 9:30 EST on Fridays, were called The Vise. In those particular sixty-five episodes, Saber was a private detective who, with one arm, worked exclusively in Europe—London, Paris, and The Riviera.[4] The Vise is so titled as a reference to people impacted in "the vise" of fate by their own actions or misdeeds.[5] In The Vise, Saber greets his viewers, accordingly: "I'm Mark Saber - and this is London".[6] Danziger Brothers in London were the production company behind Saber of London.[5] In the 1950s, the Danzigers were considered proficient at producing low-budget films and could complete two episodes of the series each week.[1]References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.memorabletv.com/showss/saberoflondon.htm|title=Saber of London|publisher=memorabletv.com|accessdate=January 5, 2011}} 2. ^Alicoate, Charles A., Ed.
