Legend: Orson Welles had to leave The Shadow because he became famous/infamous from the "War of the Worlds" broadcast.
Real Story: Welles was already gone from the show before the 1938-39 season began. He did the 1937-38 Blue Coal season and the Spring-Summer 1938 Goodrich transcription series. But when he finished up the Goodrich recording sessions in mid-summer, that was the end of his involvement with the show.
