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 on WXYZ (Detroit), con ceived either by station owner George W. Trendle or 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 films. The title character was played on the radio show by Earle Graser for some 1,300 episodes, but three others preceded him, according to The New York Times: "a man named Deeds, who lasted only a few weeks; a George Stenius [actually George Seaton according to the Los Angeles Times], and then Brace Beemer; the latter became the narrator of the program. Clayton Moore portrayed the Lone Ranger on television, although, during a contract dispute, Moore was replaced for a season by John Hart, who wore a different style of mask. On the radio, Tonto was played by, among others, John Todd and Roland Parker; and in the television series, by Jay Silverheels, who was a Mohawk from the Six Nations Indian Reserve in Ontario, Canada.

Brace Beemer played the Lone Ranger on station WXYZ in Detroit from 1941 to 1956. The series began on radio in 1933 and ran until 1956. Surveys showed that over half of the listeners were adults. Three main actors played the role of the Lone Ranger... George Seaton (1933), Earle Graser (1933-1941... he was killed in an auto accident on April 8, 1941 when he fell asleep on his way to WXYZ studio to record a Lone Ranger show. He was only 32. 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. Most listeners could not tell the difference. Beemer stayed with the series until it ended on radio in 1955-56. John Todd a veteran character actor played Tonto on the radio from start to finish. There were 2956 original radio episodes of the Lone Ranger. Jay Silverheels played Tonto on the TV program that starred Clayton Moore as The Lone Ranger.

Episode of June 25, 1954. 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 on WXYZ (Detroit), conceived either by station owner George W.

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.
