THE SHADOW — IN PERSON . . .
The owner of that spine-chilling laugh you hear on the Mutual network every Sunday afternoon is an affable gentleman named Bill Johnstone, who just celebrated his fifth anniversary of being The Shadow. If you met him in a dark alley at midnight your heart wouldn't skip a beat — you'd just be glad to have such friendly company.
Bill is handsome and gray-haired — prematurely so, since he is in his early thirties. His entry into the acting profession was entirely accidental. After his graduation from high school, he had time on his hands, and spent it watching workmen constructing the Guild Theater in New York. He was happily engrossed in this pastime when someone yelled at him, "Hey, you. Stop gawping and get in line with the rest." Bill, knowing he had nothing to lose but time, got into line, and before he knew it had been hired to carry a spear across the stage in the Theater Guild's new play, "Caesar and Cleopatra," starring Helen Hayes. It was enough. Show business had captured his heart. He was in twenty-four other shows after that — some hits, some flops — and then turned to radio. He wouldn't give it up for the lead role in the best stage play ever written, he says.
Bill has a beautiful wife, Georgia, a former ballet dancer, and one son. In the winter the family lives in New York, and in the summer on their 216-acre farm near Rhinbeck, N. Y. Before the war Bill liked to spend his leisure hours playing handball and watching polo and tennis; but now those activities are out completely, and he devotes all spare time to war work — appearing at rallies and union meetings to promote the sale of bonds or driving a tractor on the farm.
He's Scotch, but came to this country when he was three years old. His only Scotch trait, he says, is his love of bright colors in suits, ties and other items of wearing apparel. This, according to Bill, is because he was born in the town of Paisley, where those bright shawls come from.
The list of radio shows upon which Bill has appeared at one time or another reads like a short resume of Radio Marches On. He has been leading man for more celebrities, perhaps, than any other actor. On Cavalcade of America alone he has played opposite Madeleine Carroll, Tallulah Bankhead and Helen Hayes. He won the part of the Shadow in competition with forty other actors. It was a tough assignment, because his predecessor was Orson Welles, but Bill came through with flying colors.
