Original unbound script for The Green Goddess by William Archer, dated February 10, 1939, 8.5 x 11, 84 pages, signed on the first page by Orson Welles and Madeleine Carroll. In very good condition, with paper loss to edges and scattered soiling to first and last page. This script is for the radio version of the drama, which was performed about three months after his famed War of the Worlds, by Orson Welles and his repertory group on the Campbell Playhouse radio program on February 10, 1939. Welles and his Mercury Theatre troupe also performed the play on stage, for which Welles had assembled a five-minute film from stock footage that depicted an airplane crash in the Himalayas. This film, shown before the play as a prologue, has now been lost. That film was likely Welles’s first film viewed by the general public—of the two films he is known to have made prior, one was a student film and one was also shot to incorporate into a stage play, but was never used.
