Show tabloid novels and plays adapted for radio consumption by COSMO HAMILTON playwright and producer tabloid novels and plays adapted for radio consumption will be demanded by the public in the near future A new field awaits authors linco already the public mind is drifting away from tho the written page accustomed as it is to looking at pictures that move across a screen and to listening to sounds that throb through the air we have come to a curious moment in civilization the public is robbed of tho the leisure in which it has the opportunity to read it is an age of looking and listening but not of stopping but I 1 am convinced I 1 that the hour is coming when people will have to stop and listen the average film today is nothing not liing but a series of pictures joined together like a string of sausages making no appeal to the brain there is a dropping off of theatergoing theater going also attributable to the high cost of production and high price of admission the radio is in an infantile state now without a hair on its head or a tooth in its mouth just a pink baby sprawling and making animal sounds it cant even say mamma or papa yet but it is a lusty child and it promises to mature in a wonderful fashion |
