...little Ruby from Utah walks into "any 42nd Street Theatre" and announces she wants to star in a Broadway show, Ellen Zachos' wide-eyed insouciance insures Ruby will make it big in show business. But first the nasty leading lady of the show about to open that night, Mona Kent (Susannah Rabb), must be eliminated, done neatly when the public-works projects of the W.P.A. force the play-within-the-play to open on a battleship, where Miss Kent succumbs to sea-sickness. And of course Ruby has to fall in love along the way; one of those shore-leave...
...girl who takes Ruby under her wing (a resemblance to Joan Blondell certainly helps).

...KENT STATE, a four-hour NBC TV-movie to air in January, ran into several problems. First, Ohio refused to have anything to do with the production, so the unit scouted more than 200 locations, ending up in Gadsden, Alabama, where three separate small colleges combined to look eerily like Kent State. Then the Alabama National Guard refused to cooperate (although the town of Gadsden presented no problems), and the Defense Department ordered that no National Guard equipment or uniforms could be used. Producers ended up buying $50,000 in trucks, a tank, uniforms, etc. John P. Filo, who took...
