Five stars.

Thanks NEM.

Well done-but who can tell the voice of the Lone Ranger on radio???? Extra credit for any later tv work.

Brace Beemer.

And I believe, but not sure, that Jay Silverheels played Tonto on the radio, too.

Congratulations, NEM! You've managed to keep me off the board for several hours - first with the MSNBC/Olbermann link, and now with this great Lone Ranger episode. 1949? Wow!!!!
I watched the whole damned thing. Thank you, bud,

Thanks NEM. My brothers and I spent many hours in front of that old B&W set watching the LR and Tonto tame the west. Good times!

Tonto was a better actor than The Lone Ranger. And the horses were the actual stars. OMG! What wonderful horses!!!!

The name Tonto set a generation of english/spanish bilingual kids to giggling every time they heard the Lone Ranger speak to or about his sidekick.
