Excitement Sirs: Hell broke loose over WSOY on this unusual Sunday afternoon . . . after the Kings Gospel Quartet had finished singing in our big studio. . . . Solid, red-faced Charlie Bruce was in the control room running a transcription of Chuck Foster and his orchestra while I sat quietly in the adjoining studio wondering how I would announce the next tune. We were in the middle of Blue Champagne when Bob Bruner, hat & coat on, dashed into the control room, waving a foot-long strip of teletype paper. Before I could get out of my chair, Charlie Bruce had pulled the control...

We are at war with fascism, and we will fight until we have defeated it completely, in war and in peace. But there is an alternative reading of the gospel: "Peace on earth to men of good will."

Said they...
...early Thin Man pictures suffered from Mr. Hammett's obvious failure to learn what English A students accept as gospel, but they were made enjoyable and often very amusing by some clever dialogue and by a pair of Hollywood's best wise-crackers. In the latest of the series, "The Shadow of the Thin Man," the former redeeming feature has been scrubbed away to the bone, and nothing is left but Mr. Hammett's amazingly naked dramatic structure. William Powell, as detective Nick Charles, still finds great sport in solving murders while sipping highballs' surprisingly enough, no criminal...
