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. Later on ABC Radio and syndication 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 an announcer on Trendle's WXYZ, but after the tragic auto death of Earle Graser in 1941, Beemer took the role of The Lone Ranger. He could be tough as nails with the outlaw types, but gentle and understanding with the honest town people. 

In the last decade of the series with announcer-narrator Fred Foy (photo) announcing..."With his faithful Indian friend Tonto the masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early Western United States. The stories of his strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness have come down to us through the generations and nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoof beats of Silver, the Lone Ranger rides again."
