Description: THE SHADOW OLD TIME RADIO COLLECTION / 5 CD / 254 mp3 / Total Playtime:116:26:04 DELIVERED IN A PLASTIC BOX-SET The Shadow was long believed to have debuted on radio as a program in its own right on September 26, 1937, on the Mutual Broadcasting System. But the character premiered in September 1931, on CBS, as part of the hour-long The Blue Coal Radio Revue (named for the show's sponsor), featuring Frank Readick -- the "Shadow" announcer of Detective Stories -- as The Shadow, and playing Sundays at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The stories also appeared on Thursday nights for a month, when Love Story Drama (another Street and Smith creation) took the Thursday night slot -- but also featured occasional portrayals of The Shadow.Blue Coal had a long relationship with the Shadow, moving the radio series to NBC in October 1932 with Readick playing the character on Wednesday nights now. Two years later, NBC ran the stories on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m., with LaCurto taking occasional turns as the title character. Three years later came the beginning of the half-hour drama radio buffs have remembered so well; with The then-unknown Orson Welles as The Shadow, the show is moving to Mutual, and the famous catchphrase now in full play accompanied by the strains of an excerpt from Opus 31 of the Camille Saint-Saëns classical composition, "Le Rouet d'Omphale."Welles did not speak that signature line -- Readick did, using a water glass next to his mouth for the echo effect. But Welles did make a credible Shadow two years before his notoriety as the mastermind of Mercury Theatre on the Air's production of War of the Worlds.After Welles left the role for a career in the cinema, The Shadow was portrayed by such actors as Bill Johnstone, Bret Morrison (the longest tenure, with ten years in two separate runs), John Archer, and Steve Courtleigh as Lamont Cranston/The Shadow. The radio show also introduced female characters into the Shadow's realm, most notably Margot Lane (played by Agnes Moorehead, among others) as Cranston's love interest and crime-solving partner (the character was eventually integrated into Gibson's pulp novels). Lane was described as Cranston's "friend and companion" in later episodes, although the exact nature of the relationship was left unclear. In the 1994 movie, Margot's name is spelled "Margo." However, early radio show scripts clearly show that the character's name was spelled "Margot."Once The Shadow joined Mutual as a half-hour series, it did not leave Sunday evenings radio until December 26, 1954, outlasting the magazine that gave birth to it: The Shadow Magazine ended with the summer 1949 issue, although Gibson wrote three new "official" stories between 1963 and 1980. Gibson started a short series of updated Shadow novels for Belmont with Return of the Shadow under his name, followed by The Shadow Strikes, Beware Shadow, Cry Shadow, The Shadow's Revenge, Mark of The Shadow, Shadow Go Mad, Night of The Shadow, and Destination: Moon. The Shadow had mental powers in these books to cloud men's minds, so he effectively became invisible, conquered the pain, etc. EPISODES LIST370926 87 Death House Rescue(Sponsored By Blue Coal On Mutual) 371017 90 Murder By The Dead (Recreation) 371024 91 The Temple Bells of Neban 371031 92 The Three Ghosts 371128 96 Circle of Death 371212 98 The Death Triangle 371226 100 The Voice of Death 380109 102 The League of Terror 380116 103 Sabotage 380123 104 The Society of the Living Dead 380130 105 The Poison Death 380206 106 The Phantom Voice 380213 107 The House of Horror 380220 108 Hounds in the Hills 380227 109 The Plot Murder 380306 110 The Bride of Death 380313 111 The Silent Avenger 380320 112 The White Legion 380327 113 The Hypnotized Audience(begin Sponsorship B F Goodrich) 380403 114 Death from the Deep 380410 115 The Fire Bug 380417 116 The Blind Beggar Dies 380424 117 Power of the Mind 380501 118 White God 380508 119 Aboard the Steamship Amazon 380515 120 Murders in Wax 380522 121 Message from the Hills 380529 122 The Creeper 380605 123 Tenor with a Broken Voice 380612 124 Murder on Approval 380619 125 The Tomb Of Terror 380626 126 The Old People 380703 127 Voice Of the Trumpet 380710 128 He Died At Twelve 380717 129 Reincarnation Of Michael 380724 130 The Mark of the Bat 380731 131 Revenge On The Shadow 380807 132 The Mine Hunters 380814 133 The Hospital Murders 380821 134 The Caverns of Death 380828 135 Death Under the Chapel 380904 136 The Black Buddha 380911 137 The Witch Drums Of Salem -
