Part 4 - This is from a 1938 radio broadcast by the Mercury Theater On The Air of G.K. Chesterton's novel, "The Man Who Was Thursday (A Nightmare)" performed by The Mercury Players. Many of the people in this broadcast such as Joseph Cotton would later end up in Welles' big screen productions. Orson Welles plays the leading character Gabriel Syme. This production was well acted--John Houseman and Orson Welles managed to scale back the novel to fit a one hour time slot quite well. *The Man Who Was Thursday* is one of the best fantasy novels in the English language.
YOU SCARCELY REALIZE HOW POETIC MY INTUITION IS. IT HAS THAT SUDDEN QUALITY WE SOMETIMES FEEL IN THE COMING OF SPRING.

Syme pretending he was insulted is among the funniest parts of the book.
