Courtsey Photo NOV. 14 Yes to sound effects Next summer, Johnny Depp is headlining the big screen, big budget adaptation of “The Lone Ranger,” a story started nearly 80 years ago as a radio show. In the 1930s, millions of families gathered around their radios each week to follow the adventures of Tonto and his “kemo sabe,” which were told through only sound effects and dialogue, with much of the action left up to the listeners’ imaginations. So how were those “thundering hoofbeats” created? Next Wednesday local radio pioneer Dave Downing will answer that question and demonstrate how it was done. During his “Sounds of Old Time Radio” program, Downing will discuss the history of radio and how many of these old school concepts are still used today in TV and audio books. Audience members will also get to create their own sound effects. 7 p.m. FREE. CADL Library, 401 S.
