EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of truth and controversy following the broadcast of Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre's dramatized adaptation of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" on October 30, 1938. The event took place at the Mercury Theatre in New York City, where a large and eager audience tuned in to listen to the radio production, unaware that it was a fictionalized retelling of the science fiction classic. The date, October 30, 1938, holds a significant place in history as the day that panic spread across the United States due to widespread rumors that an alien invasion was indeed taking place. The broadcast, which began as a series of news bulletins reporting on the invasion, was so convincingly presented that many listeners believed the events were real. In this photograph, Orson Welles, the visionary director and actor, is seen speaking with a group of newsmen, likely seeking clarification and answers regarding the chaos that had ensued. Dressed in a suit and tie, Welles exudes an air of calm and composure amidst the turmoil. The date, October 30, 1898, is inscribed on the bottom left corner of the image, a reminder of the publication year of Wells' original novel, adding an intriguing layer of connection between the past and the present. This photograph is a testament to the power of storytelling and the impact it can have on society. The Mercury Theatre's production of "The War of the Worlds" serves as a reminder of the importance of clear communication and the responsibility that comes with the use of mass media. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in both radio and broadcasting history.
