Happy Birthday To The Lone Ranger.

January 31, 2013 by Toby

The Lone Ranger made its radio debut 80 years ago today. To mark the occasion, here’s a lobby card from the 1956 feature version of the TV series starring Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels — a modest little Western I’ve loved since I was a kid.

I wonder if anyone is publishing a Lone Ranger book for the picture–

Lone Ranger, one of my favorite TV shows. I do like the TV show better than the radio series though, maybe it was the tendency to re-use the same actors over and over in the radio show that turned me off. I watch Lone Ranger tv shows about every other Friday night. Clayton is still the only real Lone to watch.

And the cue music on the t.v. series is unforgettable.

The Lone Ranger was (of course) one of my favorites on tv, along with Sgt. Preston…It seems that I remember most episodes beginning with the Lone Ranger and Tonto riding along when suddenly a shot rings out. Tonto would say, “That sound like shot Kemo Sabe!”, to which the Lone Ranger would reply, “Yes, Tonto…and it came from…over there!” And then the story would commence.
It didn’t really always happen like that, it just seems like it did to me. And that’s just part of the fun and memories that I have of a tv show probably left more of an impression on me than any other of that era.
Happy Birthday Lone Ranger.
