Her reason: "If there ever arises any doubt about the conduct of the Red Cross or its finances, investigators might be inclined to go easy with a woman. A man would have to accept a merciless inquiry.'' Norman H. Davis accepted the post, and Mabel Boardman remained secretary...
When every military plane young Mechanic Tommy Grayson (Gordon Oliver) works on crashes, G-men arrest him on the day he is to be married to Show Girl Gail (Arleen Whelan), force the plant to close.

When the next best-seller type appears, he aims at it ("I can learn much of style from David Grayson," he writes). In 1936, 30 years later, his aim is still waving around, but he hasn't fired a shot. He just goes on filling his journal with fatuous, trite, sentimental, philistine, ingenuous, graphic practice notes: about newspaper jobs in Cleveland, San Francisco, Denver, everything from news happenings...
