John Dunning Quote
It was Striker, most agree, who came up with the ideas of the silver bullets and the silver shoes for the great stallion. It was Striker who at least pointed the way toward the Ranger’s famous call, Hi-Yo, Silver! The early scripts had the hero shouting Hi-Yi, a cry that didn’t impress Jewell or True, who would announce it. They worked on it right up to air time, according to Osgood, settling on Hi-Yo, Silver! with less than a minute to go. Jewell scrambled into the booth as the theme rolled into the air. They had chosen Rossini’s William Tell Overture, wanting something from the classics suggestive of a gallop. Little did they know, nor would they have believed, how completely The Lone Ranger would consume Rossini’s melody in the minds of common men.
