The Shadow |
The Shadow started out as a narrative character on the Detective Hour for American radio in 1930, in 1936 the character was given his own show on American radio, where he was played by a young Orson Welles. The series proved extremely popular and lasted on the radio until 1954. Many actors and actresses would assume the roles of The Shadow/Lamont Cranston, and Margo Lane over the years. The main ones were: Orson Welles (1937-1938), Bill Johnstone (1938-1943), John Archer (1944-1945), Bret Morrison (1943-1944, 1945-1954), Agnes Moorehead (1937-1940), Majorie Anderson (1940-1944), Grace Matthews (1946-1949), and Gertrude Warner (1949-1954). Other actors to play the roles included Kenny Delmar, Steve Courtleigh, Margot Stevenson, Margot Anderson, Jeanette Nolan, Marion Sharkley, Laura Mae Carpenter, and Lesley Woods.
Although the radio show lasted for around 18 years, only around 240 episodes of the radio series are known to be in existence. Particularly shows from the later years (1950s) are very rare.
On December 26, 1954, the last episode Murder by the Sea was aired.
