BIBLICAL DRAMA
BROADCASTING OF “DANIEL.” SYDNEY, May 15. To the joy of the church folk of Sydney, who cling to the old-fashion-ed but popular selected church services “over the air,” when they cannot attend church itself, or do not, as Dickens says, fell “dispoged” that way, the broadcasting of a Biblical drama, “Daniel,” has been tested and found wanting. It is not the cast which put “Daniel” on the wireless that has been brought to judgment by listeners-in. Their complaint is that, as it came to them over the air, there was little of the. religious atmosphere about it, that it sounded much like any other drama, and was thus divested of any spiritual appeal or beauty that it might have possessed.
Indications are that Sydney churchgoers who sit by their wireless gadgets on Sunday nights, instead of going to church and putting their coins in the collection plate, emphatically do not want Biblical dramas by that medium.
