When he confronts the producer at the theater, he discovers two thugs robbing the box office. The thugs grab one of the stage actress as a hostage, and make a run for it. The Shadow and producer give chase, racing through the streets and ending up at Coney Island. A shootout occurs in the hall of mirrors, and the two are able to rescue the actress. Later, The Shadow agrees that perhaps Mills should continue his show, as there is a need for a radio program which can spread terror to the underworld. | StoryTitle2 = Voices from the Shadows | Synopsis2 = Text article about [[The Shadow Radio Show|The Shadow radio programs]] from the past. | Appearing1 = '''Featured Characters:''' * [[Kent Allard (DC Comics)|The Shadow]] '''Supporting Characters:''' * Grover Mills * Agatha Goodlove '''Villains:''' * Ferret * Tiny '''Other Characters:''' * Mr. Greene <small>(owner of Greene Coal Company)</small> * [[Henry Ralston|Mr. Ralston]] * Sinky '''Locations:''' * New York City :* Times Square :* Radio Station WOW :* [[B. Jonas Office Building]] * Brooklyn :* Coney Island '''Items:''' * <br/> '''Vehicles:''' * <br/> | Appearing2 = '''Featured Characters:''' * [[Lamont Cranston (Radio Show)|The Shadow]] | Notes = * Rick Magyar illustrates pages 1-16. Frank Springer illustrates pages 17-24. | Trivia = * Grover Mills, the young theatrical genius, is an obvious portrayal of actor Orson Welles. Several aspects establish this: he is a radio announcer [[The Shadow Radio Show|voicing The Shadow]], the shootout in the hall of mirrors recreates a scene from Welles' film, "The Lady from Shanghai" and later Mills mentions of doing a radio stunt depicting an "invasion from Mars." * Several other tributes are part of the story too. The title, "To Cloud Men's Minds," is the power of which the radio Shadow learned from the far east. The character Agatha Goodlove is Agnes Moorehead, who voiced the lovely [[Margo Lane (Radio Show)|Margo Lane]] on the radio show. Mr. Ralston who manages the radio station WOW in the story, is most likely [[Henry Ralston]], Vice-President of [[Street & Smith]] during The Shadow pulp years. The Greene Coal Company who sponsors the radio program is in reality the Blue Coal Company, which sponsored The Shadow radio show for many years. | Recommended = | Links = }} [[Category:Kent Allard (DC Comics)/Appearances]] [[Category:Lamont Cranston (Radio Show)/Appearances]] [[Category:B.
