Now a yarn about a man well
known over the various networks,
but who must be nameless here.
The other night as he was about to
go on the air. the sign "Silence"
caught his eye. He arranged his
manuscript and glanced again at the
sign. The signal was given him
and he tried to start to read. Not
a word came from his thrOat-that
sign seemed to have burned into
his consciousness so deeply he
couldn't dsobey Il. The second hand
seemed TO race around the clock.
He was committing one Of the most
deadly sins known TO radio but
couldn't help 1t. Try as he would,
his vocal cords wouldn't obey the
orders Of his brain.
Finally the production man
stopped signaling and came over
and touched the victim on the shoul-
der. With that, the paralysis van
ished and he started to read with
such a roar that he awakened his
wife who started to scream because
she thought he surely was being
murdered. The nightmare was so
terrifying that now when he goes
into the studio he won't even glance
at a "silence" sign.
