THE FALL OF ARCHY HOUSE
By Tom W. Harris
Television is a swell way of projecting
ideas to an audience. But Archy created chaos
when he used it to project real live monsters!

For over two weeks, the projections were a national emergency, and the nation got pretty sore at Archy House.
Archy was on camera when it happened. He always closed the Home Hour in person, partly because nobody else did it quite as well, partly because it flattered the audience to see him.
His delivery was almost shaken, the night the thing happened, by the appearance of Otto Kahler, chief engineer, just out of camera-range, his hair in his eyes and a wildness about his mouth.
