Special serial on the marvelous Mutual mainstream radio, Mandrake the Magician and hero to all saves the day from Mobsters and evil villains named Barracuda, in 15 minute shorts aired daily. Mandrake solves crime with the help of a young boy (sometime Tommy, sometimes Jimmy), an African Prince Lothar and the beautiful Cockaigne Princess Narda. Though all of the serials are quite rare and not complete, the adventure and action is great.
+ Mandrake the Magician is a syndicated newspaper comic strip, created by Lee Falk (before he created The Phantom). Its publication began June 11, 1934. Phil Davis soon took over as the strip's illustrator, while Falk continued to script. The strip was distributed by King Features Syndicate. On radio as a 15-minute program, Mandrake the Magician aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System from November 11, 1940, until February 6, 1942. Originally a three-day-a-week serial, it expanded to five days a week in 1941. Uttering the incantation "invovo legem magicarum" (I invoke the laws of magic) was Raymond Edward Johnson, who starred as Mandrake. Juano Hernandez portrayed Lothar, and Jessica Tandy and Francesca Lenni took the role of Princess Narda. The series was directed by Carlo De Angelo.-WikiPedia Click here to read more about Mandrake The Magician
