3.What programs were on the radio that evening?
Many families were at home reading the papers or contentedly listening to the radio.
There were two programs that night which attracted large audiences.
One was a comedy and the other a play produced by the actor-writer Orson Welles
He was presenting a dramatization of H. G. Wells’s classic science-fiction novel ‘The War of the Worlds’.
The listeners prepared themselves for an hour of comfortable excitement but, after the opening announcement, the play did not start. Instead there was dance music.
