...Window (RKO Radio) gives a modest but impressive view of how well Hollywood can do, if it tries, on a grade B budget (under $750,000).

He backed a red-faced, ambitious attorney named John Francis Dore for mayor of Seattle. Dore won and said: "As long as I am mayor ... I am going to do all in my power to help the teaming unions...
