Graser got the part of the Lone Ranger because of his voice and it took WXYZ awhile to find Brace Beemer to replace Graser... they wanted to match the voice and they did a good job.

In 1933, producer George W. Trendle and writer Fran Striker had the Lone Ranger ride out of the western sky, and it was "Hi Oh Silver, Away!" from then on via Mutual nationally until 1954! Always at his side was his faithful indian companion, Tonto, portrayed by John Todd, who was a loyal, intelligent and resourceful indian - very different from the way indians usually were portrayed on the silver screen. Brace Beemer began as announcer, but after the tragic auto death of Earle Graser in 1941, took the role of The Lone Ranger. He could be tough as nails with the outlaw types, but gentle and understanding with the honest townfolk. His quest for justice in the west was detailed in hundreds of episodes, and always, it seemed, Tonto and The Lone Ranger rode off before they received the thanks they were due. Though directed toward the kids, The Lone Ranger half-hours had a wide following, for the stories resonate with that righteous purpose, selfless dedication and a ongoing struggle against lawlessness and corruption.

Debuting on Detroit's WXYZ radio station, The Lone Ranger began its 22 year run on radio... 2956 Episodes! The photo is of Clayton Moore, who was the television and motion picture Lone Ranger, but in this episode "Kansas Kid And Stagecoach Murders," Earl Graser plays the role. Graser was not the first Lone Ranger, but he was the one who created the baritone deep-voice of the masked man. Unfortunately, Earl Graser was killed in an auto accident on April 8, 1941. He had been the Lone Ranger for 8 years. For the five episodes following his death, the Lone Ranger was unable to speak beyond a whisper... Tonto carried the dialog. The producers were trying to find an actor who sounded like Earl Graser...
