Last week young New Yorkers enrolled in a Landon First Voters League indicated that they had missed either the New Yorker cartoon or its point when they organized a "Victim of Future Taxes" unit, sent out a "Barrel Show" to tour the city and Eastern college campuses. Doing their bit in the current GOP campaign to persuade the nation that Franklin Roosevelt is somehow to blame for local, municipal, county and State as well as Federal taxes, a young man and three professional women models appear in garments from which parts of sleeves, skirts, crowns and toes have been scissored...

...Cary Grant, Franchot Tone, as simultaneous husbands of the heroine, offer plenty of support--Lewis Stone makes a good father-in-law or if you need it, relief--to the movie.
