...farflung newspaper career already the envy of many a workaday reporter, Paul Gallico last week began another chapter. Back from his snuggery-workshop on the English Channel, Writer Gallico entered the employ of William Randolph Hearst's International News Service. A high-priced super roving reporter, Paul Gallico, whose loyal readership followed him from the sport section of the New York News to the Saturday Evening Post, took as his assignment the Philadelphia child-murder case, described the arraignment of a 19-year-old girl defendant with true sob-stuff...
These words, sung to the taut accompaniment of a studio orchestra, emerged last Sunday night from such U. S. radios as were tuned in on Columbia Broadcasting System's "Workshop of the Air" (producer of Archibald MacLeish's radio play in verse, Fall of the City, Stephen Vincent Benét's Paid Revere).

...production unit of Professor Baker's "47 Workshop," the Dramatic Club became noted the world over for its contributions to the English-speaking stage. When Baker left Harvard, the Club was expected to carry on its function, quite regardless of the fact that it no longer had University support and that those most interested in the stage were following Baker into the hinterland insead of coming here. Despite this handicap, the remaining members of the Club took seriously their task of forwarding the cause of progressive drama. By hard work not unmixed with inspiration, they contrived to make the Club...
...National Broadcasting Co. prides itself on never letting the Columbia Broadcasting System get ahead of it. In the opinion of many a serious student of U. S. drama, ahead is just where CBS got last April when its skilful experimental Workshop of the Air produced Poet Archibald MacLeish's The Fall of the City. It was the most competent U. S. verse play written for the radio and, setting aside the beauty of its speech and the power of its story, The Fall of the City, as produced by oldtime Radio Engineer Irving Reis, added some new dimensions...
