Talk, Col. Churchward, Big Game Hunter. Length: 20 min. (Wednesday)Review: On Wednesday night we had the pleasure (?) of hearing snatches of two geology lectures at the sametime. - We liked best the one by James Churchward, at WNYC, even if the lecturer did forget his ings. - He wentback 50,000 years and proved by quotations from books that there were folks on this side of the ocean then whowere anything but slouches in the matter of civilization. - Maybe, after some more digging is done, theantiquarians will turn up a few ten bulb sets and a logbook, showing that John Jones of that day got the Gardenof Eden and heard the famous apple-sauce duet of the Adamses.

Origin of Savagery, Col. Churchward. Length: 15 min. (Tuesday)Review: Col. James Churchward, at WNYC, interested us with his assertion that civilization never came out ofsavagery, but savagery came out of civilization. He wound up after many deductions, with the famous clincher,Q.E.D. after which there is no more to be said. He spoke of Darwin and his monkey-business in a tone thatshowed he had a very decided opinion about Mr. Darwin's mental processes, so far as the origin of man isconcerned. Colonel Churchyard [sic] regretted that he could not give his talk with illustrations, but hisexplanations were simple and easy to grasp, and we felt at the end that his Q.E.D. was perfectly justified.(Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle, January 7, 1925).

(Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle, January 31, 1925).

The Great Magnetic Cataclysm, Colonel James Churchward. Length: 15 min. (Thursday).Review: Magnetic Cataclysms choked the Municipal Voice of Greater New York last evening, and for a fewmoments the usual over-powerful WNYC station wheezed and gurgled and then passed out into the GreatSilence. It recovered, however, the malady being diagnosed as a technical difficulty, and Prof. James Churchwardresumed his discussion of the peculiar sort of cataclysms from which, forever more, he told us, the earth will behappily immune. The reason we shall have no more magnetic cataclysms, the learned lecturer told us, is that theearth's crust has thickened. (On the Radio Last Night, Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle, April 17, 1925).

Professor Churchward, it was explained, wasn't feeling topnotch anywayand had to catch a train, not caring to wander to the suburbs, or wherever he was going, by the milk express, sowe were told that we would have to wait for our 'Mu' enlightenment till a later date. (On the Radio Last Night,Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle, April 25, 1925).

happen this time. Then he told us what we were dished out of last week, the wonderful tale of the Land of Mu.Professor Churchward dealt in no topics of today after the manner of Will Rogers. Everything Mu-ish happenedover 16,000 years ago, and we just had to believe all he said about those dear old days. Nothing was said aboutthe Mu cows, or any of the other homely things of life in the Land of Mu, but as a hylogriphical tale it was a first-rater. We learned a lot about cosmic eggs from which the ancients believed life came. We used to know somebarnstorming actors that had good reason to share that notion.
