Show Atomic Energy Subject of English Stage Play in '29 Although knowledge of atomic energy was chiefly theoretical until 1938, a stage play on the subject was produced in London in 1929, says Collier's. In this drama, Wings Over Europe, a man who discovered how to control this energy en-ergy offers the secret to the British cabinet. As they consider him a crack, he threatens to blow up the earth and is murdered. A group of scientists then announce an-nounce that they too have the secret but will keep it to rule the world, if necessary, for the good jof mankind. |
