31 July 1930 - EVIL LURKING IN THE HEARTS OF MEN NO LONGER UNKNOWABLE: A
pulp novel vigilante armed with an ability to cloud men's minds, The
Shadow debuts on the "Detective Story Hour," a popular radio program.
His appeal will grow until he gets his own radio serial, which will run
for 24 years, spawning one of the most well-known catchphrases in
American radio history.

The introductory line from the radio adaptation of The Shadow - "Who
knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" - spoken
by actor Frank Readick, has earned a place in the American idiom. These
words were accompanied by an ominous laugh and a musical theme.

The Shadow, at the end of each episode, reminded listeners, "The weed of
crime bears bitter fruit! Crime does not pay...The Shadow knows!"

  butter-sugar mixture, combining well. Beat 2 minutes at
  low speed of electric hand-held mixer. Add eggs, and
  vanilla, and beat an additional 3 minutes.

  seconds at a time, mixing until smooth.

  Cool slightly and set aside.

  ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Fill cake layers with frosting, then
  frost the sides and top of the cake.

  Drizzle the chocolate shadow glaze over the frosting,
  allowing some of the chocolate mixture to run down the
  sides of the cake.
