The CBS radio program  “Mercury Theatre On The Air” performed an adaptation of the H.G. wells novel  “The War Of TheWorld’s” on this  date in 1938. The live drama was directed by Orson Wells and employed  fictitious news reports. The program was taken seriously by some listners who thought it’s portrayal of a Martian invasion was true.
