Cisco Kid Old Time Radio Program Cisco Kid Old Time Radio Program Combined Set 1/2 hour Western Episodes "Oh, Ceesco!" "Oh, Pancho!" Words that stir the memories of legions of seniors and baby boomers alike, who thrilled to the juvenile adventures of the heroes of Old Mexico, first on radio, then on television in the 1940s and 1950s.
The Cisco Kid was based upon an O.Henry story, "The Caballero's Way," published in 1907 in the collection Heart of the West, about a non-hispanic renegade, possibly based on Billy the Kid. In adaptations of the story, The Cisco Kid was portrayed as "O. Henry’s beloved badman", rather than the thug that O. Henry created. In a previous, short-lived incarnation of the radio program, the Kid was transformed from an outlaw, to a Zorro-like hero. When the show returned in 1946, references to an outlaw past were abandoned, except for Pancho’s standard warning to Cisco that the sheriff was coming, at the beginning of each show. The Cisco Kid was the ultimate romantic hero, saving senoritas from dire circumstances, his reward a brief chaste kiss from the senorita, before he took off on a new adventure. Cisco (played by Jack Mather) was inevitably accompanied by Pancho his jolly, rotund sidekick (voiced by Harry Lang). However, it didn’t pay to underestimate Pancho. He was a brave as he was round, and one didn’t want to end up on the wrong end of Pancho’s bullwhip. This version of the show aired from 1947 to 1956 |
