Radio Is Fertile Ground For Story
The Lacey Study, a sound comedy, is a serial radio program seeking an audience and possibly a sponsor. According to The Wall Street Journal, serials proliferated in the 1920s, and many eventually made the leap to television, including "Guiding Light," which is only now about to end its 72-year run.
