BERLIN RADIO STARS

“LORD HAW-HAW” AND “E. D. WARD.”

Although English Fascist traitor William Joyce has been identified as “Lord Haw-Haw” who regularly broadcasts from the Berlin radio, it was not until recently that Australian sources were successful in tracking down the identity of the other English voice who is regularly introduced as “E.' D. Ward.” According to the Australian press this “E. D. Ward” is none other than Edward Leopold Delaney, American actor, who came to Australia and New Zealand in 1914 with Fred Niblo and Josephine Cohan. Apparently a photograph of this “E. D. Ward," who made a feature broadcast at the time the Germans invaded Copenhagen, was secured from neutral sources and compared with a photograph of Edward Leopold Delaney and all authoritive sources agree that Delaney and “Ward” are one and the same person. American sources, according to Smith’s Weekly, ’’have been investigating the man who is trying to sell them out to Germany by selling Germany to them” . . . "That man they have now found to be Edward Leopold Delaney, who in Sydney in 1914 played ‘The Killer’ in ‘Seven Keys to Baldplate' and in 1915 was the travelling salesman in ‘Potash and Perlmutter.’ ”
