　 The evening of October 30^th, was just like any other　 1　 　Sunday night to most of the people of America. Many families were at home　 2　 　the papers or listening to the radio. There were two programmes that night which　 3　 　large audiences. One was a comedy and the other was a play　 4　 　by the actor-writer Orson Wells.

　 The listeners　 5　 　themselves for an hour of comfortable excitement but, after the opening announcement, the play did not start.　 6　 　there was dance music. Then just as people were beginning to wonder if something had gone wrong, an announcer　 7　 with a dramatic “news-flash”.

　 As the play went on that night Orson Wells was　 15　 to see the studio control room full of police. They were warned about the panic which was　 16　 traffic and filled the hospitals with screaming women. They ordered that announcements　 17　 be made pointing out that it was only a radio play, not an　 18　 news broadcast.
