Ways of Men Past, Present and Future - Arch Oboler's Plays

Three stories of the past ("Memorium"), present ("Sole Survivors") and future ("Humbug")

Elfland Radio - Our all-day live stream is here: http://Listen.ChestertonRadio.com

The first play called Memoriam is about one man's refusal to go to war claiming that fighting and war only breeds hate. The second play Sole Survivors is about the war survival of a boy and his baby sister after losing his family. The final story Humbug is set twenty thousand years in the future and the total disbelief that men in the past could wage war against each other over land and race.

Praised as one of broadcasting's top talents, he is regarded today as a key innovator of radio drama. Oboler's personality and ego were larger than life. Radio historian John Dunning wrote, "Few people were ambivalent when it came to Arch Oboler. He was one of those intense personalities who are liked and disliked with equal fire."(Wikipedia)

Originally Broadcast in two parts 4/15/1939
