The Lone Ranger
Recuerdo haber visto El Llanero Solitario hace muchos años, con temática más simple e
inocente, apta para niños y público en general. The Lone Ranger se tradujo al castellano como El Llanero Solitario. Tonto,
el indio amigo del protagonista, era Toro
y el caballo era Silver. El protagonista
solo cargaba balas de plata. En el video (en inglés) Clayton Moore, que personificó al enmascarado de plata durante
años, recuerda a Toro, Jay Silverheels, y recita el credo del Llanero Solitario: “todos tienen el
derecho y el poder interior de ayudar a hacer este un mundo mejor”. ¡Lindo
mensaje! En vocabulario: cliffhanger
The Lone Ranger is a fictional masked former Texas Ranger who fought outlaws in the American Old West with his
Native American friend, Tonto.
He first
appeared in 1933 in a radio show conceived either by WXYZ (Detroit) radio station owner George W. Trendle, or by Fran
Striker, the show's writer. The radio series proved to be a hit and spawned a
series of books, an equally popular television show that ran from 1949 to 1957,
comic books, and several movies. The title character was played on the radio
show by George Seaton, Earle Graser, and
Brace Beemer. Clayton Moore
portrayed the Lone Ranger on
television, although during a contract dispute, Moore was replaced temporarily by John Hart.
