Amazing Stories good friend Jean Marie Stine (Futures Past Editions) has sent along a cool find: An episode of the Pepsi-Cola Playhouse television show that ran from 1953 to 1955 (on your black and white television set) titled The Psychophonic Nurse, that is based on one of Amazing Stories’ regular contributors in the 1920s, Dr. David H. Keller, a contributor to the famous Cosmos multi-authored serial story was published extensively in Amazing Stories (and elsewhere) from the 1920s until the 1960s; his first story The Revolt Of the Pedestrians caused quite the stir.
The Psychophonic Nurse first appeared in the November 1928 issue of Amazing Stories and can be found here on the internet archive for those wishing to read the original.
Note that the video quality is low and that this version has been colorized. The original black and white recordings can also be found, in three parts, on Youtube.
Our featured illustration for this article is a crop of the original Frank R. Paul interior illustration for the story.
