What about Kato? Wasn't he the driver of the Black Bueaty?, and the Shadow go for.

I don't know the last year it was on but Mutual
gave up
all entertainmemt programs in 1960 and concentrated
on
sports and news as a programming service. It also
changed
hands. Mutual was a partnership of five large
broadcasters.
I am not sure who bought it but the headquarters
moved from
WOR in New York to Chicago. _The Shadow_ was
Mutual's most
popular program. It had a sort of false start on CBS
in the
early 1930's but became established as a Mutual show
c.1935
with Orson Wells playing the shadow and Agnes
Moorhead as
Margo Lane. These were rather sloppy shows because
he
reportedly never showed up for rehearsals. I also
heard one
early show were a police _boat_ stopped with a tire
squeal.
The _Shadow_ I remember was Brett Morrison, I no
longer
remember who played Margo Lane.
Opening
Theme: Omphales (sp?) Spinning Wheel (organ)
Shadow: (on filter mic)"Who knows what evils lurk in
the
hearts of men? The SHADOW knows"... (shadow's
laugh).
Narrator: The SHADOW, a mysterious character who
aids the
forces of law and order is, in reality, Lamont
Cranston:
wealthy man about town. Years ago, in the Orient,
Cranston
learned the strange and mysterious secret of how to
cloud
mens minds so they can not see him. His friend and
companion, the lovely MARGO LANE is the only person
who
knows the identity of the invisible shadow. Now
today's
story...
Closing (theme and under) SHADOW (on filter) "The
weed of
crime has bitter roots; crime does NOT pay; the
SHADOW
KNOWS... (laughs). (organ out)
Announcer: This is MUTUAL, the world's largest
network.
This is the opening and closing used in the later
programs.
The earlier elements were similar but it evolved and
was
simplified with time.
The sponsor for most of the Shadow's run was
Blue Coal,
a trade name of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad who were also in the coal business big
time. They
sponsored the show coast to coast although Blue Coal
was
sold mainly in the Northeast. I wonder how much coal
the
Shadow actually sold. They were reportedly a very
loyal
sponsor.
"Margo, I think its time for a visit from the
SHADOW".
