Descripción de The Mercury Theater (Orson Welles) - A Tale Of Two Cities (07-25-38)


A Tale Of Two Cities (Aired July 25, 1938)
The early programs were praised by critics, but ratings were low. One broadcast changed the ratings: The October 30, 1938 adaptation of H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. Possibly thousands of listeners thought Martians were in fact invading the earth, due to the faux-news quality of most of the broadcast. Significant publicity was generated, and The Mercury Theatre on the Air quickly became one of radio's top-rated shows. The War of the Worlds notoriety had a welcome side effect of netting the show the sponsorship of Campbell's Soup, guaranteeing its survival for a period, and beginning on December 9, 1938, the show was known as The Campbell Playhouse. Welles revived the Mercury Theatre title for a short series in the summer of 1946. The company moved to Hollywood for their second season, and continued briefly after Welles' final perfomance in March of 1940.
