Credit is due H. Henry Franck's interpretation of the town crier and Paul Fithian's performance as the gullible schoolmaster. M. Mousquet is only sketchily defined by Jack McGrail, and the succession of rural bumpkins who fall for Knock's prescriptions emerge from the clinic like so many neatly packaged sandwiches from an automat...
...City (at Loew's Lancaster Theatre near North Station through Saturday). The moving tale of an intelligent Negro who befriends a confused white youth--both in the grips of a racially bigoted foreman.

So successful was the column that at war's end, when the Union Jack's editor, a bright young Fleet Streeter named Hugh Cudlipp (now editorial director for the Mirror group) returned as editor of the Pictorial, he persuaded Hubble to run the readers' service bureau...
