...young idol-apparent, renamed Kris Carson by Promoter Lincoln, is dead serious about making a success as a singer, chiefly because he wants enough money to be able to support himself while he writes. Merton College Tutor Hugo Dyson is not worried that Kris will abandon literature for the larynx, calls Kris "one of the most favorable specimens of Rhodes scholarship" and "the kind of man you can trust to pick his own career." Stable Owner Lincoln finds his deep-thinking discovery "rather frightening." In case plans go sour, he has figured out an alternate road to fame. "If this...

Walter continued his studies at Fordham Law School, graduated in 1930, and got himself engaged to Kay Hanson; his childhood sweetheart. A shy, pretty girl, Kay developed a cancer of the larynx. In one of the first such operations ever performed successfully, her larynx was removed, and Kay was never able to talk again. Walter saw no reason to change any of their plans. But his father stormily forbade the marriage. "She's the same girl I fell in love with," insisted Walter. And so they were married, and have raised a close-knit family of two children-Terry...
