history
It was invented by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker in 1933 for the radio play series of the same name on the US radio station WXYZ . Almost 3,000 episodes had been produced by 1954. The main role Brace Beemer spoke for the longest - namely the last 13 years .
This resulted in the serial The Lone Ranger cinema in 1938 , and The Lone Ranger Rides Again in 1939 with Robert Livingston and Chief Thunderbolt in the leading roles, each with 15 episodes.
In 1940 the 15 episodes of the first series were edited together again as a film under the title Hi-Yo Silver . In 1949, the television series "Tonto" followed with Clayton Moore in the title role and Jay Silverheels as a loyal Indian companion, which was broadcast in Germany from 1991 under the title Lone Ranger on Premiere / Sky and since 2010 has also been available on DVD. In the third season of the series, Moore was replaced by John Hart because of fee negotiations .
In 1952, the first three episodes of the television series were cut together to form the feature film The Legend of the Lone Ranger .
1956 directed by Stuart Heisler with The White Rider, a feature film for the TV series, also with Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels in the leading roles.
In 1958 the hero with the mask followed another film directed by Lesley Selander .
In 1966 there was an animation series with 26 episodes in two seasons under the name The Lone Ranger - Rider with the Mask which was continued in 1980 with The Lone Ranger for 28 episodes.
In 1981, Klinton Spilsbury wore the mask of the Lone Ranger in The Legend of the Lone Ranger and Michael Horse as Tonto accompanied him. Directed by William A. Fraker .
In 2003 there was a television fiction film directed by Jack Bender for the WB Television Network with Chad Michael Murray as Lone Ranger and Nathaniel Arcand as Tonto.

Others
As early as 1960, the Ranger was mentioned by Johnny Preston in the Christmas song (I Want A) Rock and Roll Guitar . Here the singer tries to convince a little boy that instead of a guitar he would prefer a pistol like the one the Lone Ranger possesses in order to be able to better sing cowboy things like "Hi-Ho Silver" and "Kimo Sabe".
In 1962, under the pseudonym Jerry Landis , Paul Simon sang the Lone Ranger in the song The Lone Teen Ranger . In the song, Paul complains that his girlfriend would rather watch the TV series than meet him. The song features both the characteristic "Hi, ho, Silver away", which the ranger uses to drive his horse, as well as parts of the Wilhelm Tell overture , which was used as the theme music in the series.
Due to its popularity, the Lone Ranger was marketed in children's rooms very early on. Already in the 1950s there were tons of toys, but also breakfast boxes and action figures .
In 1959, Clayton Moore had a guest appearance as Lone Ranger with Lassie in the episode Peace Partol . John Hart played the Lone Ranger again in 1993 in the episode Hi Yo, Fonzie Away of the Happy Days series .
