...these questions, Cartoonist Capp's millions of unflagging fans will find satisfactory answers. In the Broadway musical, the Capp characters were type-cast with amazing accuracy, and most of the Broadway players are there in the Hollywood production. The show's score (words by Johnny Mercer, music by Gene de Paul) is the big letdown: a chance to make good mountain music is passed up in favor of bad Broadway tunes.

Roosevelt's arm brandishing a blackjack over the U.S. Supreme Court, will fill in for the Post's liberal (and two-time Pulitzer Prizewinner) Cartoonist Herbert Lawrence ("Herblock") Block, 50, decommissioned last September by a heart attack. For a while the Post got along by running the work of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Bill Mauldin and others, but Post Publisher Philip Graham decided that Herblock needed a fulltime pinch hitter. Herblock agreed. "He went madly for the idea," said Graham...
