One of the most popular radio shows in history
debuted in August 1930 when "The Shadow" went on the air. "Who
knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" The opening
lines of the "Detective Story" program captivated listeners and are
instantly recognizable even today. Originally the narrator of the series of
macabre tales, the eerie voice known as The Shadow became so popular to
listeners that "Detective Story" was soon renamed "The
Shadow," and the narrator became the star of the old-time mystery radio
series, which ran until 1954.
A figure never seen, only heard, the Shadow was an
invincible crime fighter. He possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome
any enemy. Besides his tremendous strength, he could defy gravity, speak any
language, unravel any code, and become invisible with his famous ability to
"cloud men's minds."
