Albert the Great (Charles Winninger) certainly will not admit it, even though his "temporary job between bookings" (his agent will wire him any day now) with an electrical appliance company in Camden, NJ. lasts for 20 years. He regards his children merely as part of the family juggling act, and drives them every afternoon to practice new song & dance numbers in the suburban garage. When they grow up and decide to live like other people he considers their rebellion against his incredibly singleminded dream (to see Albert the Great & Family in lights again), as subversive as a ripe tomato hurled...
...fever left him weak. Undertrained and undernourished after living on relief, he made a try at a comeback, finally quit because he could make more money ($85 a week) as a wartime shipyard worker. It took a lot of talking by glib Felix Bocchiccio, a small-time Camden promoter, to lure him back into the fight racket. Bocchiccio supplied two vital things he lacked before-management and money-and Jersey Joe began punching his way into the headlines...

Ghadiali appealed, brought in 112 patients who claimed they felt better. The Government countered with grimmer testimony: a son testified that his father, a diabetic, died after three weeks' treatment; the husband of a woman with tuberculosis said his wife lost 40 pounds, then died; a woman said her son died...
Search for the Gullible. Last week Food & Drug agents moved in on the block-long institute building at Malaga, N.J., impounded every Spectro-Chrome in the place. Then they trucked five tons of Ghadiali's instructions, magazines and correspondence to the Camden city incinerator. The FDA has also filed 25 suits to recover other known machines elsewhere, but has no idea how many others are still...
