THE GREEN HORNET: WORDS AND MUSIC

From May 30, 1939.

Once again the Lone Ranger's grandnephew takes takes to the streets for truth and justice with his faithful Japanese servant Kato.  (Poor Kato!  the producers were about to saddle him with an identity crisis by eliminating his Japanese nationality.  By 1940 Kato became just a "faithful servant," and soon after he became a Filipino.  Shades of 'victory cabbage" and "freedom fries"!)

Our masked crimebuster was played by Al Hodge.

Enjoy.
