BEST SCRIPT BY A NEW WRITER The Clinic by Ted Key OQOQgPQPgggQgggg g g g. -g g g gJLgJLgJLgJLflJLgJLSJLgJLJL&JLfl-flJLg-g-gJ) One of the greatest pleasures that an editor and his readers enjoy is the discovery of unheralded talent. On March 28, 1940, a Mrs. Key arrived at NBC and an¬ nounced to the page at the reception desk that she had a manuscript, the work of her husband, that she would like to submit. It was taken from her and, in the usual routine, read by one of the readers, in this case Miss Barbara Frank. She recommended it as possessing “good mature writing, excel¬ lent dialogue, ably drawn characterizations.” Miss Frank’s opinion was concurred in by Lewis Titterton, manager of NBC’s script division, and Wilfred Roberts, manager of NBC’s production division, who also agreed with Miss Frank that certain changes would improve the script. Mr. Titterton asked Mr. Key to come in and discuss the matter, which he did. He made the revisions suggested, and the play went on the air in the form in which it is printed in this book. It was produced by NBC’s Radio Guild over the Blue Network on June 8, 1940. 86
