Matthew Swain was the editor, publisher, and owner of the Peyton Place 
Clarion.  His additional source of income was the "job printing" 
business.  A sign on the front window reads "JOB PRINTING". 

Matthew Swain was the most boring man in town and was growing old.  After 
Elliot Carson was cleared of the crime of murder, of which he had been 
unjustly convicted, Matthew turned the Clarion over to him.  Matthew's 
assistant, Jerry, stayed with the newspaper for the entire run of the 
series.  However, he didn't wear a pressman's hat.  In episode 61, 
Matthew mentions to Rodney that he (Matthew) is the Linotype® machine 
repairman.  He was purportedly the second cousin twice removed of 
Constance Mackenzie.  In one episode Allison and Constance look at a 
photograph of and discuss grandmother Swain. 

Warner Anderson did the opening narration in all the episodes except 
episode 1, which didn't sport an opening narration.

Detective Story

Warner Anderson claimed that he made his first film appearance as a 
four-year-old juvenile actor in a 1915 Charles Ray vehicle. His first 
stage credit, Maytime, came two years later.  During his early adulthood, 
Anderson worked as a straight man in vaudeville and burlesque.  In the 
1940s, he came to prominence as announcer for radio's Bell Telephone 
Hour.  While most of his film roles were supporting, Anderson was starred 
in the early special-effects-fest Destination Moon.  Warner Anderson's TV 
credits include a four-year run as Lt. Ben Guthrie on Lineup (San Francisco 
Beat) in the mid-1950s, and a tenure as newspaper editor-owner-publisher 
Matthew Swain on the 1960s nighttime serial Peyton Place.
