"Lo, The Butter Stinketh" Will Be First of Radio Workshop Broadcasts

"Lo, The Butter Stinketh," an original script, is scheduled for broadcast tonight as the first presentation of the year by the Radio Workshop. Written by Eli Goldston '42, it presents the story of the food riots during President Kirkland's administration, and includes the famed blowing up of the pump and the threatened blowing up of a privy, complete with sound effects.

Playwright Goldston, asked what led him to write on the subject, replied: "Inspiration from Adams House fodder, information from Professor Morison, and instigation from Aldrich C. Durant."

The Workshop, which presented two scripts over WRUL last year, hopes to continue broadcasting this season over Boston station and in addition intends to present a weekly show over the Crimson Network.

The organization is under the direction of its founders, Arthur Gnaedinger '41, in charge of production, and Wallace Hamilton '41, in charge of continuity. Charles A. Siopmann, formerly of the BBC, who served as Adviser last year, will continue in that capacity this season.

The second show to be given by the Workshop is Wallace Hamilton's "Super Highway"; Goldston's unnamed story concerning the efforts of Cotton Mather to become President of the College and how his plans were feiled; and "Legend of Chocorua," by Malcolm Murphy '42.

All Workshop stories may go on the air either "alive" or "canned," but all scripts are transcribed for permanent record. The transcriptions are done by the Harvard Film Service.
