Hollywood, which has sold glamor to the nation, and radio, which has sold it practically everything, are out to prove that they can sell the U.S. a billion dollars' worth of war bonds this month. Last week a sales crew of cinema ladies (and Ronald Colman), leaving Los Angeles for a tour of 300 cities, were photographed in a fetching frieze against a background of soldiers. Last week, too, seven comedians, six vocalists, four actors and 21 bands took part in one of the most successful broadcasts ever made...
