2 Years Before The Phrase Only The Shadow Knows Was Born

________________________________________________________________________________________________


SCOTT FITZGERALD
The Freshest Boy
(1928)
***

In 1930,
when more people owned radios
than had cars,
THE SHADOW 
made its debut

The tag line
Who knows what evil lurks
in the hearts of men?
ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS
became a household phrase

Footnotes
Basil Lee had nothing to do
with the radio show

But the
Basil and Josephine Stories
are recommended reading

The image above,
with its billowing text,
is known as
A Kafka Pillow

My next Fitzgerald page
is  TBD
