Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Tales Of The Texas Rangers "Illusion" (4 20-52)

Joel
McCrea stars as Texas Ranger Jace Pearson in this thirty-minute western
adventure series. The shows are all re-enactments of incidents from Texas
Ranger history. The Texas lawman and his trusty steed, Charcoal, would track a
criminal, often a killer, throughout the vast 260,000 square miles of Texas.
With Joel McCrea lending star power, Tales of the Texas Rangers debuted over
the NBC radio network on July 8, 1950. The thirty-minute show, sponsored by
Wheaties, ran on Saturday nights at 9:30 for three months. In October, the show
switched to Sunday evenings, eventually settling into the six oâclock time
slot. The weekly adventures were set during the past two decades in order that
the show have a modern slant. Ranger Jace Pearson drove an automobile, but he
had a horse trailer and often galloped astride his horse Charcoal into the
backcountry in pursuit of lawbreakers. First Broadcast date July 8, 1950. Last
Broadcast date September 14th 1952
