15 minute magic/detective/kids show
Mandrake the Magician started as a newspaper comic strip created in 1934, created by Lee Falk (also creator of The Phantom.) The strip is still running in some newspapers today. Mandrake was on the radio from 1940 to 1942.
Mandrake was a master magician who could quickly hypnotize a subject, be they a member of an audience or a criminal thug, or even, occasionally, one of his friends. A real magician, Leon Mandrake with his thin mustache and top hat, is believed by many to be the basis for the character Mandrake the Magician. (I think that the same name is kind of a giveaway.)
Mandrake is accompanied by Lothar, not only a Prince of Seven Nations in Africa, but also the strongest man in the world. What Lothar had in strength, he lacked in smarts. (That may explain why he gave up being a king to follow Mandrake around.) Obviously Mandrake had a thing for royalty, because his other companion was Narda, Princess of the European nation Cockaigne. Also on his adventures Mandrake often need the help of a young boy; sometimes Tommy, sometimes Jimmy. This children’s serial pitted Mandrake and team against criminals, gangsters, and the master villain Barracuda.
