...Warm Springs: Budget Director Harold Smith, who talked about cutting non-military expenses; Mayor the Reverend Mr. Woodfin G. Harry, who made a speech; the Warm Springs Women's Club, which sang;* pretty, yellow-headed Patient Ann Smithers, age six, who won the right to sit at the President's table at the Thanksgiving dinner, gnawed a drumstick despite the fact that her baby teeth are falling out; the Georgia Congressional delegation, minus Senator George, who withstood the New Deal's purge. "There was no invitation for me to go," explained Senator George...
Cochrane is a local boy, and hails from Brookline. He became interested in radio at the age of fourteen while he was at Brookline High School, and received his license from the Federal Bureau of Communications before his fifteenth birthday.

Frequently the ropes broke, the tables dropped, the operators were crushed to death...

He screams and slobbers through the plot with remarkable gusto. The contrast of these two of his latest parts is really astonishing. As a sop to the earthy aesthetics of the masses, there is also a quite delectable blonde named Maleleine Ozeray who plays a quite unorthodox feminine lead to an antiquated lecher of the stage played by Louis Jouvet. The cast, as a whole, really carries...
