Description
English: Photograph of Orson Welles on stage at the Mercury Theatre during the rehearsal of Danton's Death, after the CBS Radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds".

"Hours later, instead of arresting us, they let us out a back way and we scurried down to the theatre like hunted animals to their hole. It was surprising to see life going on as usual in the midnight streets, cars stopping for traffic, people walking. At the Mercury the company was still rehearsing Danton's Death … Welles went up on stage, where photographers, laying in wait, caught him with his eyes raised to heaven, his arms outstretched in an attitude of crucifixion. Thus he appeared in a tabloid the next morning over the caption, 'I Didn't Know What I Was Doing!'"
— John Houseman, Run-Through (1972), pp. 404–405
