WILD WAVES


A comedy in 3 acts. By William Ford Manley. Produced originally at the
Times Square Theatre, New York. 30 males, 15 females. 4 interior scenes.
Modern costumes.

A rollicking farce about what transpires behind the microphone of a
broadcasting studio. The most popular singing artist in Station WWVW is
Roy Denny. Through some mischance it comes about that the Denny "golden
voice" is really John Duffy. Duffy, being a nervous lad, has always
failed miserably from microphone fright whenever he has attempted to
sing under his own name. When he croons under Denny's name he kindles
the divine hope in female breasts clear across this palpitating country.
But Denny receives all the credit. This hoax destroys Duffy's personal
love life and results in a conspiracy inside Station WWVW. As a sort of
undercurrent to the narrative it introduces satiric bits about the
buncombe of radio broadcasting. The play offers fine opportunities for
the introduction of musical numbers and comedy acts.
