Created by Raymond Morgan and Harry Earnshaw, Chandu the Magician was one of the longest-running adventure serials that aired on the radio. The show was first heard in the 1930s, and was revived in 1948. Both the original and the revived versions of Chandu the Magician were sponsored by White King soap.
In the original version, the role of American-born Frank Chandler was played by Gayne Whitman. He was an American born boy who renamed himself Chandu after finding out occult secrets from an Indian yogi. He had quite a few number of supernatural skills such as teleportation and the capability of creating illusions. The main goal of Chandu was to defeat the wickedness that threatens mankind. On the other hand, Tom Collins played the role of Chandu in the revival of the series. Chandu had a nemesis named Roxor which was played by Luis Van Rooten. Starting from being a 15-minute weekly serial, it became a half hour show. The show came to an end by September 6, 1950.
