    The Columbia Workshop || The Fall of the City | April 11, 1937

    Columbia Workshop, pioneered all kinds of special sound effects and other dramatic techniques. In 1937 it put on a poetic drama by Archibald MacLeish called The Fall of the City, featuring a 22-year-old actor with an unforgettably expressive voice. The play was a sensation, which helped point the way to what radio could achieve. It also made the actor, Orson Welles, an overnight star.

Orson Welles was a genius - as an actor, a film director - and as the creator of drama for radio, the legendary Mercury Theatre on the Air, which presented so many great classics besides the justly famous War of the Worlds. It is also very entertaining to hear Welles with other stars from the 1930s and 40s in various other radio shows - a time travel to legendary "Radio Days".
