[October 1950 "Radio In Review" column by John Crosby]

On Lights Out, the NBC-TV show, a couple of weeks ago, a disfigured
playwright locked himself in a tenement of an office to write a play. He
created a couple of characters, as playwrights do, but these characters,
unlike those of, say, Robert E. Sherwood, instantly sprang into existence in
his dirty little office. One was a blind girl. The playwright had deliberately
created her that way so she couldn't see his maimed face. Love ensued. The
other character was her brother, a reptilian individual, who was the
playwright's self or Inner Self, or something like that. I forget how it
ended.
