The Mercury Theatre on the Air


"The finest radio drama of the 1930’s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George Coulouris. The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worlds broadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown. This site has many of the surviving shows, and will eventually have all of them."

Way cool!!! Again, I am totally stealing this for EE. Though I think you are one of two every day readers so it's a mobiuos strip as you've said, BTW who is your reader in Rhode Island? Because they often click through your links to EE.

I have no idea who's from RI.

I do have a pal from India who drops by once in a while, but school keeps him very busy.

I used to get Rhode Island, too, but not in a while. :-(
