Three Short Stories Im A Fool The Open Window And My Littl

The Mercury Theater on the air! No theatrical organization has done more in recent years to stimulate interest in the American stage than the Mercury Theater, whose outstanding productions of last winter under the direction of Orson Welles were the sensation of the theatrical season.

Julia Caesar in Modern Dress, The Cheumakers Holiday, Mark Blitzstein's The Cradle Will Rock, Bernard Shaw's Hot Break House, proved to the public the vitality and genius of this new organization. This summer, the Colombian network introduced Orson Welles and his company for the first time to radio.

And tonight we present the Mercury Theater on the air in the fifth broadcast of its unique new series, dramatizing famous narratives by great authors. CBS again welcomes Mr. Welles and his associates to Colombia stations and to the stations of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

And here is Orson Welles to tell you about these stories himself, Mr. Welles. Good evening. Tonight as you were duly warned last week we are trying out something altogether new. We're telling three stories instead of one. Three short stories instead of a single long one.

Stories about love and ghosts and horse races. Three stories in the first person singular, about young people, four grown-ups. I'm a fool by Sherwood Anderson, is the first of the three. Let's begin at three o'clock one October afternoon.

Summer before I'd left my hometown of the fella called, Bert French with two horses that was campaigning through the race meets that year.
