ARTS 055: The Lone Ranger

Afternoon Radio Theater Sundae

In 1933, a character was conceived and brought to live by two-disc jockeys in Detroit, Michigan. This character became an American icon, and became a template for western heroes for years to come.

The Lone Ranger spawned a radio series totaling almost 3000 episodes, several books, a hit television show, and many movies and parodies that outright flattered the character, while at the same time, creating a template for masked heroes. From Zorro, The Gay Blade, to The Green Hornet, who came to be associated with the Lone Ranger by lineage, The Lone Ranger would prove to be one of the more successful shows and characters of the twentieth century, and beyond.

Monica Jones brings you several of her favourite episodes on this installment of the Afternoon Radio Theater Sundae.
