An Interesting Character

The Lone Ranger was one of America's favorite radio heroes in the 1930s. He had a sidekick named Tonto and they would gallop through everyone's living room on a mission to save the wild west. The Lone Ranger wore a black mask to hind his identity. He would yell "Hi-yo Silver, away", his horse would rare up and off they would go. The horse was of course Silver. He and Tonto, lived by a strict code of behavior, both on and off the radio. Later the show went on to TV; some where there is still reruns playing. The show stopped producing new episodes in 1957 so that is a long run for reruns. There were also movies made with the Lone Ranger as the star.

  1. I personally do not like to watch westerns so I can't even imagine just listening to them on radio. What we think might be boring they found so interesting, and it is amazing the show lasted for so long
