Page "The Adventures of Superman (radio)" Paragraph 10

That well known signature opening, one of the most famous in radio history, was delivered by Jackson Beck, the announcer-narrator for the program from 1943 to 1950.

He also had recurring roles, voicing an occasional tough guy and also portraying Beany Martin, the Daily Planets teenage copy boy.

On Superman episodes featuring Batman, he played Bruce Wayne's butler, Alfred Pennyworth.

Decades later, Beck portrayed Perry White, Clark Kent's boss, in Filmation's The New Adventures of Superman animated series ( 1966 – 70 ) in addition to serving as the show's narrator.
