With such a jnine- of newmaterial towork on the 1wnter of tales of crime should turn out something really â- brilliantly new. But "The Voice From the Void1' offers noth- ing that can be called outstanding, and the mystery itself is badly involved and nebulous. The hero's rescue is supposed to be accomplished by radioâ€"when as a matter of fact it depends on a .letter tossed into a river and delivered by ac- cident to its destination! Radio, as jar as we could discover, had nothing what- ever to do with the mystery except that occasionally characters woulda; use jyn. lieu â- â-  of'. the" telephone./; -tfW&lMmm We think that a real nWstelfy Story can be built around radio; but such has not been accomplished yet. We rather think we'll have to do it ourselves; as Mark Twain said when asked to^settle the question of divine right of Kings, we might as well; we haven't anything much to do this summer anyway.. -:p||f â- â-  ^m^mmmsf â-  --P* Gregory Hartswck â-  '.||| â-  .'^PlillrARZAN.'
