Seventieth
Anniversary of Panic
‘War of the Worlds’ Broadcast Oct. 30
WHAV airs radio’s
most famous broadcast, “War of
the Worlds,” Oct 30
– 70 years to the day it sent the nation into panic. A documentary, commemorating the anniversary, will also be heard.
Orson Welles and “The Mercury Theater on the Air” based the
play on the 1898 novel by H. G. Wells. However, the radio
version used simulated news bulletins to announce the Martian
invasion of Earth. The result was widespread panic as many
Americans fled their homes to escape the Martian “death
ray.”
Locally, The Boston Globe reported one woman
“claimed she could ‘see the fire’ and said she and many others
in her neighborhood were ‘getting out of here.’”
WHAV is also airing “The Making of the War of the Worlds
Broadcast” by award-winning radio producer and voice actor Joe
Bevilacqua (not to be confused with the local Chamber czar and
school committeeman). Bevilacqua looks at how the landmark
broadcast came about, and examines its impact on broadcast
history. The half-hour program includes rare interviews with
Mercury Theater producer John Houseman and writer Howard Koch,
actor Arthur Anderson and the people of Grover’s Mill, N.J.
who lived through the “Martian Invasion.”
WHAV will broadcast the documentary at 9:30 p.m., Eastern,
Thursday, Oct. 30, followed by the full one-hour “War of the
Worlds” program. Both will be repeated three hours later.
During the program’s intermission, WHAV will
announce the winners of audio CDs of the broadcast. To
