This Thursday night at 8 o'clock Eastern Standard Time-and regularly at the same hour on succeeding Thursdays-THE MARCH OF TIME will return to the air. Its purpose: to dramatize for the ear and the imagination of the U.S. radio audience the sound, voice and drama of events that today are shaking the world-a thing which it has not been possible to do over the air since war began...

What Retirement does best is five attractive characterizations by its principals, with an assist from housemaid Evelyn Keyes. A holdover from the Broadway cast, elegant Isobel Elsom is a handsome ornament to the grisly drama.
