SERIOUS DRAMAS

casting.

~ LANDING out boldly among
radio dramatic offerings for
1885 was the increasing num-
~ ber of presentations of the
more serious type. Of these, those
written especially for radio made a
decided gain on the adaptation of plays
and novels which predominated in this
particular field of radio drama.
Striking examples of presentations
of the more serious drama included
the N. B. C. radio dramatic guilds
series, the Shakespeare King" cycle,
morgan Sails the Caribbean" based
on Berton Braleys poem and James
Hilton's radio adaptation of his best
seller, "Goodby, Mr. Chips
The pace at which N. B. c. ad-
vanced farther into this field Of drama
Is again evidenced in a review of some
Of the prominent contemporary writers
whose works were adapted or written
directly for radio. They include j.
3. Priestley, Clifford Odets, Maxwell
Anderson and Eden Phillpotts. Their
works were interpreted by such famous
actors as Helen Hayes, Leslie Howard,
John and Lionel Barrymore. Walter
Hampden, Lillian and Dorothy GiSh,
Alice Brady and Walter Huston.
