  • The premiere episode of The Shadow radio series (1937-1954).
    Today's adventure... "The Death House Rescue"!
    I will attempt to upload all known existing Shadow episodes (that I have, there are a few gaps in my collection), in order and according to season. This will likely take me a very long time but I believe this is important for posterity.
    If you believe I have made a mistake in naming or dating, or if you have an episode which I lack, please contact me. I try to listen to all of the episodes, but I have no doubt that I will make mistakes.

    My grandpa use to listen The Shadow when he was a little kid, and when I told him I was listening to it I could see his face light up, and without missing a beat he said "The Shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men." It's awesome to see how generations can enjoy these stories.

      The Shadow did have an archenemy, but only in the magazine stories, never on the radio show or the movies from the 1930s and '40s. His name was Shiwan Khan, a Chinese villain who claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan himself, and was always plotting to conquer the world.
      Shiwan Khan did, however, appear in the movie "The Shadow" (1994) with Alec Baldwin and Penelope Ann Miller. I think John Lone played Khan.
      My mom liked the film, although most of the critics didn't.
      I think the Shadow had another archenemy in the magazine stories, an international spy or something, who was missing a finger. I don't remember his name, though.

      Its very atmospheric, and i love the old fashioned unsophisticated chippy recording. Basic good fun and nice scripts, for want of a better description. I really liked the effort DC comics made in the 1970s, to bring the character back. I was inyrigued by the retro style of character. So couldnt wait for the film to come out in the 90s, good, but it wasn't gritty enough, too much Hollywood gloss, yet Alex Baldwin was a great Cranston/Shadow.😊😊🤔

      "Sadly, the lessons of respect for law no longer exists in society or by its leaders."
      I know what you mean, and ironically the ones who have the least respect for the rule of law these days are the same ones who always say they believe in law and order -- THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!
      Of course, we have a certain former President to thank for that! Donald Trump was a crooked businessmen, a crooked hotel owner, a crooked casino owner (every casino he owned he ran into the ground), and a crooked president. Now, he's been accused of even worse offenses, including stealing government documents, espionage, inciting an insurrection against the United States Government itself, and possibly high treason. Yet, his fellow MAGA Republicans (Greene, Boebert, Abbott, DeSantis, Youngkin, McCarthy, Graham, Gaetz, Cruz, Moore, Hawley, etc) are calling for violence against law enforcement officers, including the FBI! So much for law and order.
      The trouble is we don't exactly know the full extent of Trump's crimes, or those of his cronies and supporters, including the people I just listed.
      I'll bet if the Shadow took on this case, he'd get to the bottom of this whole racket.

    I discovered the Shadow as a primary source for the 1982 FGU rpg 'DAREDEVILS' - Roleplaying action & adventure in the two-fisted thirties'. The Shadow, in cape, hat & wielding a handgun features among others in the cover art for the game box & rules booklet. From the rules booklet: 'No one knows the identity of The Shadow. Cloaked in black, his face obscured by his wide-brimmed slouch hat, and only faintly illumined by the glow from the fire-opal girasol in his ring, The Shadow is a figure of sinister mystery even to his associates. When not suited-up for blending into the darkness, the man known as The Shadow may assume several identities (Lamont Cranston, man about town; Kent Allard, explorer and financier). But neither of these faces show the true identity of the Dark Avenger. That is a secret that naturally, 'Only The Shadow Knows.''

      Most of the episodes from 1949 to 1954 have been lost somehow, and so have some of the earlier stories too.
      The only episode from the 1950s that still exists is "The Vengeance Of Angela Nolan" (1954). Brett Morrison played Lamont Cranston/the Shadow and Gertrude Warner was Margo Lane. She played the role longer than any of the other actresses who portrayed Cranston's "friend and companion" (Agnes Moorhead, Margo Stevenson, Grace Matthews, etc), and yet, the "Angela Nolan" episode is the only one of her "Margo Lane" performances that can still be heard today through cassettes, vinyl records, C.D.s, social media, and so on.

      It certainly is Orson Welles, and the voice of Paul Gordon, the young man who's been falsely convicted of murder, was, ironically, done by William Johnstone, who replaced Welles as the Shadow's voice. One of the two crooks (I forget which one) who framed Paul Gordon was played by Elia Kazan, who went on to become a great movie director.

      He definitely hypnotizes people into not seeing him. Remember that before each episode, the announcer who introduced the story always started off with a brief explanation of how Lamont Cranston obtained the powers that turns him into the Shadow: "Years ago in the Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so that they cannot see him."
      I hope this answers your question.

    An innocent man found guilty because he had been shown to have both motive and opportunity, the prosecution has piled a stack of incontrovertible evidence against the innocent man, and to top it all off, the judge has no doubt that the accused is guilty. Basically, a completely innocent man, he didn't kill anyone, and he knew nothing of the guilty party's plan to kill (whether or not it was intentional or reactionary), nor did he have knowledge of their intention to rob a bank. The only thing that may be argued is that he was guilty of driving away when he could have chosen to not drive, but how guilty that makes him, I don't know. I would like to say not at all because if he did make the choice not to drive, then the robbers would have likely killed him. So, how guilty can a man be who desperately needed a job, and after searching for what is alluded to as a lengthy amount of time, somebody offers him one. They inform him to be at a location by a certain time. He does so, expecting to finally put in a good day's work and earn some much needed cash, and the next thing he knows is there are a bunch of gunshots inside of the bank, the two men, who he thought were his new employers, turn out to be bank robbers and with guns in their hands, they are ordering him to drive. What would you do? And how guilty would be for doing so?
    Let's see . . . the accused did have a motive. He has not worked for some time and he desperately needed money. Opportunity, he was at the bank, a police officer talked to him, but I don't know if that is the officer that was shot. If it wasn't, then he could have at least testified that the accused was not inside of the bank when the shots rang out, which would prove he was not guilty for the murder count. A pile of incontrovertible evidence? Is it ever incontrovertible, and judging from what we know, how could the prosecution compile a whole stack?? Seriously, how much evidence against this innocent man could they produce?? The role of the judge in a jury trial is basically to referee the court proceedings, to ensure everyone plays by the rules, and the proper procedures are adhered to and followed. Hence, a judge should never state that he has no doubt that someone is guilty. To do so prior to a verdict illustrates the possibility of the judge being bias, and if this bias can be proven, then the case can be declared a mistrial. I do realize this is an old radio show, and with time constraints, some details which are minor to the story will need to be omitted from the story . . . such as this innocent man's trial, particularly the evidence against him. The defendant had motive, but the opportunity is disputable. Yet, how can a judge state he has no doubt that the man is guilty prior to the verdict, and also refer to the prosecution's evidence against the accused as being incontrovertible. Appears to me that the judge is biased. Obviously, as story listeners, we know the man is innocent. Witnessing someone in any position of power whose actions can produce any type of negative effect on someone, or on someone's life, claim to know the truth when they do not, is a unlimited source of aggravation, frustration, and pure, immaculate hatred for me. People take the words of judges and so-called "experts" at face value without analyzing any of it, without even determining if they fit the facts first. People do this solely because the judge is a judge, and an expert is an expert. "These are decent, honest people here. They have no reason to lie to me." BULLSHIT!!! Change is the only constant, yet it appears that some things never change.

      Interested in ghost stories and fantasy? Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand-new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT. PLUS, a radio fantasy-comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles.

      Actually, the judge told the accused that he had "no doubt of your guilt" AFTER the jury had rendered its "guilty" verdict, not "prior to" it, as you say. Thus, your belief that the judge was biased towards the defendant is, at best, questionable.
      On the other hand, you do have a point about how people take the word of judges and "experts" at face value without question.
      In the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, much of the evidence for the prosecution was brought before the court by people claiming to be experts, including a handwriting specialist who testified that Hauptmann's handwriting matched that of the ransom notes, and a wood expert from the Forestry Service who was certain that the wood used to make the ladder that was used by the kidnapper to climb through the window of the baby's room was similar to wood found in Hauptmann's attic.
      However, through the years, people have examined and reexamined the evidence and have found many flaws in them that seem to cast doubt on the supposedly airtight case against Hauptmann.
      For example, while there were similarities between Hauptmann's handwriting and that of the ransom letters, there were just as many dissimilarities. Among other things, the way Hauptmann wrote numbers was different from the way they were written in the ransom notes. Furthermore, the so-called "handwriting expert" in the case was also the expert in the Howard Hughes autobiography hoax case of the early 1970s. This man mistakenly identified forger Clifford Irving's writings as being that of Howard Hughes himself!
      If he was wrong about the handwriting in the phony Hughes "autobiography," couldn't he had also been wrong about the writings in the Lindbergh ransom letters?
      Others have disputed the testimony of the "wood expert" about the wood of the kidnap ladder being taken from Hauptmann's attic, arguing that the police may have tainted the "wood evidence" by practically tearing Hauptmann's home apart while looking for the ransom money and other items that might link the accused directly with the crime.
      Also, it's possible that the judge was biased towards Hauptmann. He allowed the trial to take place in an atmosphere of hatred against the defendant, with mobs surrounding the courthouse howling for Hauptmann's blood. At the end of the trial, he gave a loaded charge to the jury, listing each of the points made by the defense lawyers, and then adding the question "Now, do you believe that?" In short, he practically told the jurors to completely reject the case for the defense!
      If all this is true, there's a possibility that an innocent man may have been executed for the death of Charles Lindbergh's son.
