Tom Mix Ralston Straight Shooters: Programme Guide.
A Western danger becomes another test for the radio version of Tom Mix. Short adventures and cliffhangers bring the cowboy identity into a children’s serial closely associated with its cereal sponsor.
Broadcast history.
The authorised radio character began in 1933 and continued into the early 1950s through changing performers. The series outlived the real Mix, whose screen reputation supplied the name rather than the voice.
Cast and creative team.
Artells Dickson, Jack Holden, Russell Thorson and Joe Curley Bradley portray Mix at different stages. The Radio Days Museum’s premium collection documents the sponsor and actor succession; exact transfer-level supporting credits remain qualified.
Where to begin.
Vanishing Village — Part 1 · The Mystery of the Black Cat — Part 1
These available recordings offer an introduction to this collection. Their current publication dates are separate from historical broadcast dates.
An interesting detail.
A familiar celebrity name on a programme does not prove that celebrity performs it. The radio Mix is an acted character, and Bradley’s later portrayal has its own place in the production history.
Listening appeal.
Begin Vanishing Village at Part 1 or The Mystery of the Black Cat Part 1. Follow the selected case’s own numbering and expect gaps in this limited collection.
Collection and date notes.
HRV lists 30 public recordings. The thirty recordings are selected survivals, not the complete long-running children’s serial. Current podcast dates describe later archive publication, separately from original broadcast dates.
