My error thanks for the correction. As a young boy I listened to all the radio mystery programs I could find on my old radio 1930-1940 vintage as I recall.

My Dad is a big fan of The Shadow and the Green Hornet. When public radio reprized those programs in the early 1960's he had his kids listen to them.

Unlike The Shadow, which always used the "Who knows what even lurks in the hearts of men...?" [as far as I know] the Green Hornet's intro went through a bunch of revisions.

The one I actually learned first was a somewhat later one [NPR did not have all of the Green Hornet episodes, and I heard later ones on radio collection CD's while driving with my own children on summer vacations.] It was discontinued in 1940 because J. Edgar Hoover complained about it, but I think it was the most striking of all the Green Hornet introductions:

"He hunts the biggest of all game! Public enemies that even the G-men cannot reach!"
