Season of Disbelief and Hail and Farewell

CBS Radio, a division of the Columbia Broadcasting System and its 217 affiliated stations present the CBS Radio Workshop. Radio's distinguished series dedicated to man's imagination, The Theatre of the Mind. Tonight, from Hollywood, Season of Disbelief and Hail and Farewell, adapted and directed by Anthony Ellis. Two unusual and provocative character studies by one of America's most original

authors, Ray Bradbury. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bradbury. It has always seemed to me that life to all of us is an endless coil of rope playing through our hands every moment of every hour of the day. The long line of the rope goes back to the time we were born and extends on out ahead to the time of our death. In between lies

the eternal now. The flickering moments when each of us must play the rope as best we can, without burning our fingers, snarling the coils, or breaking the lime. This is a study of one woman and her rope. Season of Disbelief was a saver. She saved tickets, old theatre programs, bits of lace, scars, railroad transfers and such things, all the tags and tokens of her

experience she saved. I was a stack of records. He is Coruso. It was in 1921 in New York. I was 40. John was still alive. He was June, 1929, I think right after John died. That was the huge regret of her life in a way. The one thing she had most enjoyed touching and listening to

and looking at, she hadn't saved. John was far out in the meadow country, dated and boxed and hidden under grasses. And nothing the main of him but his high silk hat is cane and is good to suit in a closet.
