On
September 26, 1937, the Shadow reappeared on radio with the voice of Orson
Welles playing the part. The Shadow was now a full-fledged character on radio,
not just narrating and introducing stories. The Shadow had an identity as
Lamont Cranston, a wealthy man about town. He was accompanied by Margo Lane,
originally played by Agnes Moorehead. Margo Lane was the only person who knew
that Lamont Cranston and the Shadow were one and the same. No other agents
assisted the Shadow, as did in the Walter Gibson fictional accounts. This radio
Shadow had hypnotic power to make himself invisible to those around him and he
possessed mental telepathy to read minds. Orson Welles played the Shadow from
1937 through March 1938. The Shadow became the highest rated radio show on the
air at that time.
