Description

English: Composite of four photographs of Orson Welles at microphones, rehearsing a broadcast of The Campbell Playhouse for CBS Radio

Photograph appeared in The Wisconsin State Journal captioned as follows:
Orson Welles, director and star of the Playhouse programs heard over the Columbia network on Fridays, is one of the most dynamic personalities in radio and the theater. His energy is as apparent in rehearsals as when he is actually on the air, as these pictures, taken during a rehearsal, indicate. From left to right, Welles listens to other members of the cast and himself go through the script (with not too much approbation, apparently); he expresses appreciation for a humorous speech in the next pose; building up to a musical crescendo with one hand, he cues in the actors with the other in the third picture, and in the last shot Welles puzzles over what speeches he can cut out of the script to prevent running over the hour.
