"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" and this popular mystery began. Created by Harry Charlot, The Shadow, Lamont Cranston, learned the oriental secret of how to make himself invisible and used this knowledge to track down and bring justice a variety of evil-doers. His secretary, Margo Lane (played by a number of different actresses like Agnes Moorhead and Grace Matthews... more) was the only one who could hear the Shadow speak. In this episode from 1948 the Shadow attempts to solve the crime of The Nursery Rhyme Murders! Incidentally, when people who have never heard old time radio because they were born years (decades) after radio drama ended on regular broadcasts, are asked "What was the most popular show on radio?" and almost all of them answer, "The Shadow!" It WAS a popular show. Ran from 1930-1954!
