Doctor's Plays Succeed
November 1945

The acceptance and broadcasting of a radio play written for the Dr. Christian program by Capt. Milton Lieberthal '32 has led the doctor, who is chief of the gastro-enterology section in the Moore General Hospital, N. C., into further successful radio script writing.

His first radio play was so good that the judges in the Dr. Christian contest for which he originally intended it, asked him to withdraw it so they could buy it outright for one of their radio shows on which Claude Rains was scheduled to appear. The play was broadcast over WWNC, Asheville, on the CBS chain.

Captain Lieberthal has sold three scripts since his first venture, one of which has already been broadcast. At Dartmouth the captain wrote and played in college musical comedies and was managing editor of Jack O'Lantern. He was a practising gastro-enterologist in Bridgeport, Conn., before entering the service.
