Written by Fran Striker (Photo) This episode 2561 aired on ABC Radio and syndicated to markets where ABC affiliates did not clear the program. For example the ABC Radio affiliate in Philadelphia WFIL became an all pop music format and the transcribed programs were aired on station KYW. The Lone Ranger is a fictional masked former Texas Ranger who fought outlaws in the American Old West with his Native American friend, Tonto. The character has been called an enduring icon of American culture. He first appeared in 1933 in a radio show conceived by WXYZ (Detroit) radio station owner George W. Trendle, and by Fran Striker, the show's writer. The radio series proved to be a hit and spawned a series of books (largely written by Striker), an equally popular television show that ran from 1949 to 1957, comic books, and several movies. The title character was played on the radio show by George Seaton, Earle Graser, and Brace Beemer.
