WHEN 1T COMES to the point where you tan’t reinembte whether you saw the play or heard it dramatized on the air, you have sold yourself, it seems to me, on the ySentieity of radio asa medium of the drama. By drama, I mean Gene Autry or Helen Hayes. Maybe I have § sola. myself a bill of goods, but for me radio has come fo this point.

sters in this country who will walt breathlessly by their radios late ‘this afternoon to find out whether Superman reached the mad scien“tist in time to stop the death-ray. - Radio and the drama, such as it is in the mornings and after.noons, are for each other. But the full possibilities in ¢his fleld, it seems to me, are only now being realized with the emergence of such bona fide' radio dramatists as Arch Oboler and producers as Orson Welles. Mr. Oboler is writing plays exA % clusively for radio and you can’t RU GIA Zia forget them. You cannot imagine ANE TAT what they'd be like on stage ot —— | SCrEEI. Bevalse Shey: re for radio.
MR. OBOLER'S PUBLISHERS, frankly enough, state that they might ‘believe him to be the bestknown of all radio dramatics. That is easy to concede. Most radio plays you hear above the horse-opera scale are adaptations from the stage, the screen, novels, short stories, or repetitions of same. 80 the ranks of simon-pure radio playwrights are thin. More of them are coming along, but slowly. Mr. Oboler’s plays in bookform do, not read as well as they sound on the air. They do not read as well as published stage plays. But they have the suspense, the characterization and the structure of plays of the legitimate stage. I . think they can be considered literature. So it is safe to assume that one of the twentieth century’s great contributions to the art of the ages is the radio I play and that a new chapter in the history of drama is being written. The transition, of course, is not as abrupt as that from the stage to screen. It certainly is not as competitive. = Folks haven't deserted the movies for radio as they did the footlights for the screen, although a good radio mystery has been known to keep a man home nights. Mich radio dram is still inei--dental entertainment, doing its bit for baking powder and bunion cure. But people like Oboler are making the radio play important BIG FREE PARKING [= ¥20: by working out better techniques which exert a powerful pull on

radio editor and critic, makes the point in a foreword to the Oboler collection that “only super= ficially is radio drama a strippeddown, concentrated, one - dimehsional, aural version of stage drama.” # One, could say that radio cuts out scenery, props, make-up and lights, he forewords, but perhaps it may be closer to critical focus to say that the stage precludes a nation-wide audience.

Hedy Lamarr. “H. IM. PULHAM, ESQ.” “MARRY THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER" all this, I think, is that it is being done right here in America. We're the only nation in the world capable of devejoping radio drama. Here is 3 new artform for the world and its precarious civilization and it carries a “Made in the U. 8. A™ label. We can be right proud of that.

Where King Canute failed, De Mille got the ocean to come to him—in a steel and plate glass tank 100 feet long by 50 feet wide. De Mille, who built himself a synthetic mountain for “Northwest Mounted Police,” needed the ocean for “Reap the Wild Wind,” a swashbuckling epic of the deep. He’s got fish in it, too.
