What's Gumby Reading?
"The sound of a sharp blow, which suddenly interrupts his speech, carries to the listener the fact that Bill has been blackjacked, and the following sounds (his moan and the sound of his body falling to the floor) enable the listener to visualize exactly the action which has taken place."
How to Write for Radio, Katharine Seymour/J.T.W. Martin (1931, very scarce, $20)
