Background - the Radio Prove

George Washington Trendle acquired radio station WXYZ in Detroit in 1929. Hoping to turn a respectable profit, Trendle thought about developing a radio show using a hero based on a combination of Zorro and Robin Hood. THE Lonely RANGER hit the airwaves in 1933. Initially the bear witness was heard on WXYZ, and subsequently, over the Michigan Regional Network. During the early years, WXYZ's jack-of-all-trades, James 'Jim' Jewell, did scripts, directed and fifty-fifty did roles on the program. Supposedly, Jewell fifty-fifty portrayed the Lone Ranger in a 1933 circulate. Later on, Trendle hired a talented radio writer named Fran Striker who further adult the characterization and scripts which left Jewell to concentrate on directing.

By the mid-1930s, the programme was being circulate on Chicago's WGN and New York's WOR. That trio of stations (WOR-WGN-WXYZ) - along with WLW in Cincinnati - became the early Mutual Broadcasting Network. Soon afterwards, the Lone RANGER show was picked up past the Don Lee Network in California. By 1940 or and then, WXYZ'southward LONE RANGER was running on the NBC Blue network.

While there were several performers who portrayed the Lone Ranger in a few early broadcasts, James Jewell hired Michigan native Earle W. Graser and he became the radio Solitary Ranger from 1933 through early 1941. Graser did his last LR broadcast on the evening of April seven, 1941. The following 24-hour interval, April 8, 1941, he fell asleep while driving and was killed in an machine accident in Farmington, Michigan.

LR journalist Caryatid Beemer took over Graser's part, and the v episodes on April 9, 11, fourteen, 16 and eighteen, 1941 take get known as "the Transition Serial". During that v program changeover from Graser to Brace Beemer, Tonto did most of the work while Beemer played a wounded and injured LR who uttered a few moans and grunts and wrote instructions to his trusted Indian companion. On April 21, 1941, in an episode titled "Outpost in the Desert", Brace Beemer (and his booming baritone vocalism) settled into his new job as radio's Lone Ranger, a role he would play for thirteen years through the final alive broadcast on September 3, 1954.

Caryatid Bell Beemer was born in Mt. Carmel, Illinois on December 9, 1902 and passed abroad March ane, 1965 while playing span with friends. Though some sources list 1903 equally his birthdate, the grave marker shows his birth year equally 1902 (see the Discover A Grave link at bottom of this page).

Jim Jewell was i of several folks who created the Lone Ranger and other programs. In after life, he was in Chicago as the producer or director of THE Silvery Eagle, a mountie adventure which ran on ABC from 1951-1955 and starred Jim Ameche, the brother of picture show star Don Ameche. Several years ago, Judy Jewell Kelly and I connected via due east-mails in which she wrote almost her father James Jewell, WXYZ, Trendle and the Lonely Ranger radio plan. Excerpts from Judy's e-mails follow: He (Jewell) was the creative director of station WXYZ in Detroit. He worked for George Trendle for nigh of the 1930's. My father introduced the phrase "Kee mo sabe" which was the proper noun of my maternal grandfather'due south boys army camp at Mullet Lake, Michigan since 1914. Until 1942, we endemic the horse Silvery which my begetter purchased in 1934 as a road prove attraction ad the LR radio prove. There were times I remember equally a child when Silverish was betwixt shows and we had to keep him in our garage at our Grosse Betoken home. Didn't please the neighbors. Tonto was played past an English language Shakespearean histrion named John Todd and the very first person to play the Lone Ranger was George Seaton, later on a noted Hollywood producer. My father also was the person who selected the William Tell Overture for the theme song. Soundman Shields Djerkiss was responsible for the thundering hoofbeats and music. Though there were many collaborators, and somewhen, Fran Striker became the regular writer of the series, my father continued to direct the show for many years. Jewell's sister, a budding young actress, wanted to play a part in a radio series at WXYZ then Jim wrote her into some other prove he was directing and sometimes writing, THE Light-green HORNET. Her name was Lenore Jewell Allman and she played Lenore Case, the Green Hornet's secretary, for 28 years and is in the Radio Hall of Fame. After WXYZ, Jewell was long time author/manager of JACK ARMSTRONG, THE ALL AMERICAN Male child during the last 13 years of the serial.

BACKGROUND - the Democracy serials

By 1937, the radio program was popular, and Trendle wanted to see if the character was saleable to Hollywood.  In June, 1937, a contract was signed between Trendle and Commonwealth Pictures for a cliffhanger based on the Alone Ranger and Tonto.  Trendle/The Lonely Ranger, Inc. was paid $18,750.00 plus 10% of any rental share above a $390,000.00 minimum.  The understanding also allowed Democracy to release a condensed version of the serial (which they did in 1940 with the feature Hi-YO Silver).

The principal issue between Republic and Trendle was that the Lonely Ranger would unmask in Chapter fifteen, revealing himself every bit Allen Male monarch (played by Lee Powell).  Trendle didn't like this unmasking, only the contract gave Democracy terminal authority on the script and characterizations.  Apparently, any issues/arguments were solved when Republic gave Trendle the music from the serial (and much of that music was used by Trendle in subsequent LR radio broadcasts).  Democracy's upkeep for THE Lonely RANGER was $160,000.00, and the final negative costs amounted to most $168,000.00.  Product on the serial began in late 1937, with exterior location filming done at Lone Pine, California.

Released in Feb, 1938, THE LONE RANGER series was a huge financial success for both Commonwealth and Trendle.  The serial also created new interest in the radio version and an additional hundred or so stations picked up the testify.  King Features even came out with a comic strip.

During the Summer of 1938, negotiations began for a sequel, and in September, a contract was signed with Republic agreeing to pay Trendle a substantial $forty,000 against 10% of the gross.  This time, Trendle did not give approving for a feature version.  However, Republic withal had say-so over the script and screen characterizations (and star Bob Livingston would frequently mask and unmask).  The working title of the sequel was THE LONE RANGER RETURNS, but was inverse to THE Alone RANGER RIDES Once more.  Negative costs totalled effectually $214,000.00, with filming initiated in belatedly 1938, and theatrical release in February, 1939.

Both serials were directed by the team of William Witney and John (Jack) English, the dynamic duo generally recognized as the creators of the finest cliffhangers.

During 1939, Trendle began shopping around for a more lucrative deal, and this included negotiations with Universal for series rights to the Lone Ranger as well as the Dark-green Hornet (which was some other popular radio evidence originating from WXYZ and owned by Trendle/The Lonely Ranger, Inc.).  Universal did bring two Green Hornet cliffhangers to the screen, THE GREEN HORNET (Universal, 1939) starring Gordon Jones, and THE GREEN HORNET STRIKES AGAIN (Universal, 1940) with Warren Hull in the lead.

Republic also continued negotiations with Trendle for time to come utilise of the LR character, but apparently the price was too high and/or the contractual terms were too restrictive.

Notation the text above in this color ? While the above is my writing, the bones details, information and timelines are from Jack Mathis' Valley of the Cliffhangers (Jack Mathis Advertising, 1975), which is THE definitive reference book on the serials of Commonwealth Pictures.  Thus, you and I should feel comfortable with that data.

THE TIMES THEY WERE A CHANGIN' !

Time passed.  And by the 1950s and 1960s, a variety of things occurred of which these come to listen:

• While Depression Era audiences flocked to serials and westerns, the taste of post-Globe War II moviegoers had inverse.
• The aforementioned bear upon occurred with radio every bit more than and more shows faded away, and performers such equally Jack Benny and Bob Hope made the move to TV.
• The Wrather Corporation acquired the rights to the Lone Ranger from George W. Trendle.
• The Alone Ranger radio show went on the air January 31, 1933 and the last original broadcast was on September 3, 1954.  Re-broadcasts (reruns via transcriptions) continued through August 31, 1955. Old Time Radio (OTR) expert Terry G. G. Salomonson has compiled a log of the testify and notes that 3377 original LR episodes were circulate, of which 2596 were recorded (beginning 1/17/38).
• The Lone Ranger TV bear witness, which debuted in 1949, ended in 1957.
• Republic released many of their serials to TV.  One particular grouping in the early 1950s combined ii chapters into a unmarried episode with a running fourth dimension of almost 26 1/two minutes (to fill a 30 minute TV slot).  The other grouping was the Century 66 series which were 100 or so minute condensations of some of the serials.  I believe this was done by National Telefilm Associates (NTA) circa 1966, as they had acquired almost of the Republic film library.  Nonetheless, THE LONE RANGER and Lone RANGER RIDES AGAIN serials were not included in either parcel since Republic did non accept Telly rights.
• Democracy found itself in a dwindling marketplace and a profit squeeze - i.e., TV had reduced (eliminated) the market for Saturday Matinee westerns and serials, and product costs for these blazon films had skyrocketed since the end of World War II.
• In that location were many milestones in the decline of Democracy Pictures, including:
  
  • Republic's 66th and last serial, KING OF THE Carnival was released in 1955.
  • by the tardily 1950s, Republic was still releasing films, merely had ceased production of their ain movies.
  • effectually 1963, CBS Television signed a ten-year charter for the Democracy Studios, and it was renamed Studio Center.

SCUTTLEBUTT

Definition of 'scuttlebutt': rumor, all-time guess, stance, speculation, conjecture.

One of the mutual rumors was that George Washington Trendle (1884-1972) hated the LR serials.  Notwithstanding there were communications betwixt Republic and Trendle / Fran Striker with accolades about the moving-picture show (at least with the start serial).  Apparently, Trendle's main upshot was the freedom which Democracy had with the LR character ... and in item, the unmasking.  But Trendle as well appreciated the

$$$ and music that he received from Republic.  It does appear that Trendle was a profit-oriented businessman as he had no qualms well-nigh selling his holding to Hollywood (equally evidenced past the several Commonwealth contracts for the LR and deals with Universal for the Green Hornet ... as well every bit a proposed system for Universal to film a third Lone Ranger cliffhanger ... but that fell through).

Many decades ago, I began checking on these two serials and solid information was difficult to observe, especially since Democracy had disappeared. Scuttlebutt was that Commonwealth had stored the 35mm nitrate picture and sound reels of both cliffhangers during the 1940s or 1950s (possibly at picture show storage facilities located in Fort Lee, New Bailiwick of jersey). Only both chapterplays had become lost ... or misplaced ... or had been turned over to Trendle or the Wrather Corporation ... or were destroyed due to nitrate decomposition.

I personally doubtfulness that these serials were misplaced or lost. To put some perspective on the physical size of these cliffhangers, allow'southward get through some bones math on the 35mm original moving-picture show and audio elements - each 10 minutes or and then of running fourth dimension would require one reel for the picture and another reel for the soundtrack.

• each serial was 15 episodes X ii serials = 30 episodes
  
• the lengthier chapter one consisted of 3 reels of picture and 3 reels of audio = 6 reels
  
• the shorter episodes two-15 consisted of 2 reels of movie and two reels of sound = 4 reels
  
• 4 reels per episode X 28 chapters = 112 reels
  
• 6 reels for chapter one X 2 serials = 12 reels
  
• 112 reels + 12 reels = a full of 124 reels

That'south a pile of movie and audio reels!

What happened to the original 35mm negatives of either/both LR chapterplays. Practise they exist? My estimate is that they do Not.  If they do still be somewhere, the probability is loftier that the nitrate film stock has deteriorated (and is extremely dangerous / combustible). Over the years, there take been many rumors on what happened to the source prints: they were turned over to Trendle sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s; they were destroyed/tossed past Republic old after their use rights expired; some merits that they were destroyed/tossed by Trendle.

When the BETA and VHS videotape machines arrived, interest in the ii serials was rekindled.  Many chapterplays were in the public domain (such as many Mascot productions including Gene Autry's PHANTOM EMPIRE), and these were among the earliest films put onto videotape and made available to the cliffhanger collector.  Soon, there was a 'lost serials list', and amidst the missing were THE LONE RANGER and THE LONE RANGER RIDES AGAIN.

At this indicate, my ol' memory is a flake fuzzy (plus I couldn't find my notes from years by on these serials).  Every bit best I can call up, a fair 35mm or 16mm of THE LONE RANGER was plant in Mexico or South America, and it had English dialogue with Spanish subtitles as well as Spanish opening/closing titles and credits.  However, that print had some missing pieces, most notably the 'Lee Powell takes off his mask scene' in the Chapter 15 finale.  A few years later, a like, and relatively complete 35mm or 16mm was discovered of THE LONE RANGER RIDES Once again (besides in English with Spanish subtitles and opening/closing credits).

Sometime during the 1980s, a partial or consummate THE LONE RANGER was institute in Europe (France?), and it included the Chapter fifteen unmasking scene of Lee Powell.  This, plus the before found LR, along with some newly added english language dubbing, were put together to class a reasonably complete version of the first series.

Those are the sources for videos of these serials.  And prior to videotape, these were also the sources for 16mm copies which could exist purchased from several companies that catered to the moving-picture show collector customs.

Several versions (variations) of the first LR serial have been floatin' around for years, initially to film collectors, and later, in the videotape world.  Following are the variations that I call up, and there are probably other permutations:

• The Spanish subtitled impress which had the missing pieces/chapters.
• Movie stills (with or west/o dubbing) were added to the video of Spanish print ... and a copy of the original script and/or a typewritten plot summary was included to help explain what occurred in the missing footage.
• The Spanish print, + pieces from the French print, were added to provide the 'lost' chapters.
• The Spanish print, + the pieces from the French print, with some English language dubbing added to the French portion.
• And there was the Spanish + French pieces, combined with portions of the HI YO SILVER feature condensation to fill out the serials.
• Many of the videotapes that I recall seeing had the Spanish subtitles removed past aiming (zooming) the film chain camera to a higher place the subtitles during the film-to-tape transfer (thus cutting out the bottom of the moving picture).

Is at that place an original 35mm release print of either/both of these cliffhangers hidden somewhere ... does some collector have a 35mm positive impress, a 16mm reduction print or lesser quality 16mm "gull" in their collection?  The answer is maybe ... rumors accept circulated for years that one or more prints are out there ... only I have not been able to ostend.

A little near negatives and positives, 35mm and 16mm: the original 35mm camera negative or fine grain would be the highest quality source cloth to employ for a transfer of the picture show to a videotape or digital master for video production or to create other picture copies.  The adjacent stride down in quality would exist a 35mm positive print ... then a 16mm, etc.

There's better news with the HI-YO SILVER condensation of the starting time LR serial (which has Raymond Hatton introducing the story and characters and was released past Commonwealth in 1940).  Sometime in the mid 1990s, HI-YO SILVER was commercially released on videotape, but it was speedily pulled off the market (probably because of licensing or copyright issues).  However, in September, 1999, VCI Home Video released the feature/condensation of the Solitary RANGER serial - see height of page.

As to the later status of Commonwealth Pictures, I call up that past the mid 1960s, their film library wound up with National Telefilm Assembly (NTA), who re-issued many of the westerns in versions edited down to around 52-54 minutes to fill an hour slot on Television. Quondam later on, NTA changed their name to Commonwealth something-or-other. Spelling Entertainment (producer Aaron Spelling) acquired and ran what was left of Democracy for about 10 years, simply the unit closed down in September, 1998 (and the Republic website was also shut down).

WERE In that location More LONE RANGER FILMS OR SERIALS Beingness PLANNED?

The answer is Yes! Several examples below of things that didn't happen:

• July 20, 1938 issue of Variety - Headline: "WAYNE As LONE RANGER" ; "Hollywood, July nineteen (1938). John Wayne gets top role in Democracy's 'The Lone Ranger Returns,' to exist produced by Armand Schaefer starting adjacent calendar week. Film will be feature length, although studio has already fabricated a xv affiliate cliffhanger around grapheme. Title is designed to capitalize on Lone Ranger's radio popularity." (Didn't happen.)
• May 5, 1939 Motion-picture show Daily - Headline: "'U' Buys 'Lone Ranger' as Serial for 1940-41" ; "Universal has acquired the rights to 'The Lone Ranger' which will be fabricated into a series for the 1940-41 program. The graphic symbol is currently portrayed in serials being produced past Democracy. Universal likewise has bought rights to 'The Green Hornet,' as well owned by George Trendle, for a serial to be made on the 1939-40 schedule." (Universal didn't practise a LR serial. Merely they did THE Greenish HORNET (Universal, 1939) starring Gordon Jones and THE GREEN HORNET STRIKES AGAIN (Universal, 1940) with Warren Hull in the lead.)
• March 11, 1941 effect of Film Daily - Headline: "Edwards Gross to Make Four Features on 'The Lone Ranger' for Columbia." ; "Hollywood - Edwards Gross, formerly associate producer for David L. Loew and Sol Lesser, has obtained screen rights to 'The Lone Ranger' and will produce four feature pictures based on the graphic symbol for Columbia." (This didn't happen either.)

Below - Universal's proclamation on their Lone Ranger serial was on the within cover of the pressbook for the cliffhanger, THE PHANTOM CREEPS (Universal, 1939).

Note there are two Green Hornet serials announced, and would be made past Universal. There are as well 2 Buck Rogers serials in this announcement - ane would be made, the second would be changed to Flash Gordon, and Buster Crabbe would star in both. The Lone Ranger bewilderment was announced for the 1940-41 release season, but did not happen ... nor did the sequel to SCOUTS TO THE RESCUE (Universal, 1938). If y'all would similar a larger sized version of this pressbook page, send an e-mail service to the Sometime Corral webmeister.

SOME Closing THOUGHTS

It must have been in the early to mid 1970s, long before the videotape nail, when a collector friend of mine purchased a 16mm of the Castilian subtitled LR serial.  At that time, at that place were several smallish companies that catered to film enthusiasts and were peddling or renting the serial (names that come to mind are Thunderbird, Ivy and Syndicate Films, and there were others whose names escape me at this writing).  When we screened the serial, we lamented near the quality and suggested to each other that a superb print of this wonderful series volition ultimately exist found.  Well, that was about a half century ago ... and I'g even so waiting.

For those of you who want to study the Solitary Ranger in more detail, I'd suggest looking for the following book at used volume sellers: From Out of the Past: a Pictorial History of the Lone Ranger by Dave Kingdom of the netherlands (Holland House, 1989, ISBN 0929413008). This book has about 450 pages, hundreds of illustrations, and covers the radio program, the serials, the Television set show, comics, Big Little Books, more. The problem is that the book is gonna price a couple hundred dollars, so yous may desire to see if your local library system can locate a copy for you.
