The Black Museum | (018) The Hammerhead | 1951–1952 ||

| The dead woman’s sister gets the hunt down the trail going when suspicious activity surrounds a telegram, and the woman’s travel plans. The questioning begins, but where will it all lead? What will turn up?

A bloody hammerhead with no handle is found, but now it’s time to link it to the crime. One link in the Hain after another fall into place, a chain of events, a likely suspect, and the dots are connected. Drugs are involved, and with some applied pressure the pusher cracks and tells all he knows. The investigation comes full circle, but who is the killer?

The Columbia Workshop ||The Fall of the City || Broadcast: April 11, 1937

Written by Archibald MacLeish, is the first American verse play written for radio. The 30-minute radio play was first broadcast April 11, 1937, at 7 p.m. ET over the Columbia Broadcasting System (today CBS) as part of the Columbia Workshop radio series. The cast featured Orson Welles and Burgess Meredith. Music was composed and directed by Bernard Herrmann. It is an allegory on the rise of Fascism.

Cast of characters:

House Jameson as Studio Director; Orson Welles as Announcer; Adelaide Klein as Dead Woman; Carleton Young as 1st Messenger; Burgess Meredith as Orator; Dwight Weist as 2nd Messenger; Edgar Stehli as Priest; William Pringle as General; Guy Repp, Brandon Peters, Karl Swenson, Dan Davies, and Kenneth Delmar as Antiphonal Chorus

Production:

This section possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed.

The play was broadcast live from the drill hall of the Seventh Regiment Armory in Manhattan, New York. The site was chosen for the acoustic properties needed for the production. The principal director was Irving Reis who was also the producer. Music was composed and directed by Bernard Herrmann, music director of the Columbia Workshop. William N. Robson was responsible for crowd supervision; Brewster Morgan was editorial supervisor; and the stage manager was Earle McGill.

The production involved the construction of a soundproof isolation booth for Welles. Two hundred extras were used for the crowds, drawn from New York University students, New Jersey high school students and boys clubs.

To simulate a crowd of 10,000, Reis recorded the sounds of the extras during rehearsals, including their shouts. During the actual performance, these recordings were played at four different locations in the Armory; the recordings were played at slightly different speeds to give the effect of a larger crowd.

Campbell Playhouse | Our Town | Broadcast: May 12, 1939

Adaptation of Thornton Wilder's 1938 play "Our Town".

The first radio performance of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize winning play by Thornton Wilder. There was much talk when it was first produced in the theatre because it was performed without scenery or props and with the lovable garrulous stage manager filling in gaps and explaining things as it went along. In this play Orson Welles plays that part and John Craven plays George the role he created in the original stage production.

Starring: Ray Collins; John Craven; Agnes Moorehead; Patricia Newton; Everett Sloane; Orson Welles

CBS Radio CEO, William S. Paley, said of the broadcast: "We had a CBS experimental theater of the air called the Columbia Workshop, which pioneered all kinds of special sound effects and other dramatic techniques. In 1937 it put on a poetic drama by Archibald MacLeish called The Fall of the City, featuring a 22-year-old actor with an unforgettably expressive voice. The play was a sensation, which helped point the way to what radio could achieve. It also made the actor, Orson Welles, an overnight star." (Wikipedia)

Two interviews in one post. First is his interview discussing the premiere of Citizen Kane at the Geary Theater in San Francisco. Dorothy Comingore is also interviewed, she played 'Susan Alexander Kane' in the film. The interview aired May 28, 1941. Second interview took place in Hollywood for the Mercury Wonder Show on KMTR. The Wonder Show was a magic, variety, and comedy performance stage production that Orson created for the military and the general public. Military soldiers and crowd participants are interviewed before talking to Marlene Dietrich, Joseph Cotten, and Rita Hayworth and Orson, just after their marriage. I enjoy the interviewer rushing people on and off the mic, funny to me. This interview aired September 7, 1943.

This week is the first production from, The Mercury Summer Theatre of the Air, with an adaptation of the Jules Verne novel from 1873, Around the World in Eighty Days. This is the musical short version, sometime later he did a non-musical version that was an hour. I strongly prefer the second version. Music by Cole Porter. Cast includes: Orson Welles (Fix), Arthur Margetson (Phileas Fogg), Larry Laurence (Passepartout), Mary Healy (Princess Aouda), Julie Warren (Molly Muggins). This is the greatly shortened version of the Broadway play that Welles produced. The expensive musical extravaganza opened on Broadway in May 1946 but closed after 75 performances. The Broadway show was considered a huge flop. After New York drama critic Robert Garland wrote disdainfully that the show had "everything but the kitchen sink", Welles had a kitchen sink brought to him onstage during his curtain speech. Although Broadway audiences reportedly loved Around the World, its precarious finances—and the theatre's inadequate air conditioning—could not sustain it through the summer, and Welles was forced to close it. He personally lost an estimated $320,000 (equivalent to $4,450,000 in 2021) on the production. Due to bad legal advice, he was unable to claim the loss on his taxes, and it took him many years to pay the debt. [some notes here from Wikipedia]

The Orson Wells Show (Lady Esther) with three short stories: The Interlopers, Song of Solomon, I'm a Fool. This episode aired September 29, 1941. If you remember, just a few weeks ago I'm a Fool was also done for his Mercury Theatre On The Air -- guess he really liked that story. I enjoy his portrayal in that story, he does a great voice of an innocent and inexperienced young man. If you missed it, go to the April 3rd post to hear the Mercury Theatre On The Air version. The Interlopers written by Hector Hugh Munro (aka Saki) (December 1870 - November 1916) Song of Solomon written by 'Unknown' I'm a Fool written by Sherwood Anderson (September 1876 – March 1941)

This week features the legendary Groucho Marx on The Orson Welles Almanac. This episode aired Wednesday, 9:30 p.m. EST on January 26, 1944. The Orson Welles Almanac (also known as The Orson Welles Comedy Show) was a variety program on CBS Radio. The idea of doing such a variety show occurred to Welles after his success as substitute host of The Jack Benny Program. Welles had an ongoing battle with program sponsor, Mobil, which shortened the life of the series. For example, Welles bristled at a suggestion that if Duke Ellington appeared on the show he should play the role of Welles's servant.
