Documentary on pantomime-on the radio?

mime1I happen to be browsing through the Varsity News, April 25, 1958 and saw a short article about “The Sound of Silence”, a special documentary program with Marcel Marceau, famous French mime, that was to be presented on U-D radio. It just struck me as very odd-to do a radio show about something that you need to see, but would not necessarily hear. OK, so they can interview with Marcel and talk about the art of pantomime and they can hear the audience reaction, but isn’t there a fundamental piece missing?

Just asking-not an obvious subject for a radio program.
