On today's date, back in 1933, the Lone Ranger radio series made it's debut on Detroit's radio station WXYZ.
There would be 3 actors who played the title role on radio, but most well known was Brace Beemer (pictured above) from April of 1941 until the final live broadcast on Sept. 3, 1954. Tonto, the Lone Ranger's companion was played by Shakespearian actor John Todd (also pictured above) for the radio show's entire 21 years.
And now my personal story.
When my mother was a young girl, her father asked if she would like to meet Tonto? It just so happened my grandfather was the tailor for both Brace Beemer and John Todd during their time on the radio as the Lone Ranger and Tonto, and Mr. Todd was coming to his shop in Detroit for a fitting. Needless to say, after my grandfather introduced her to a stocky, middle aged, balding Irishman, she could never imagine Tonto's character properly again as she sat listening to the Lone Ranger on the radio.
