...fault of Senator Alben William Barkley that Marvin College, once the pride of Clinton, Ky., no longer exists. In the late nineties, long before he became the new democratic leader of the Senate. Alben went out once a week to "do or die" on Marvin's football field. His muscles had been hardened on his father's Kentucky tobacco farm.

Here the chubby passengers, Cinema Producer Hal Roach and Dictator's Son Vittorio Mussolini, were transferred to an earnest knot of alien squad members, policemen.

...theatres everywhere were frantically calling for more. Variety, sympathizing with Hollywood's production problems, headlined that the exhibitors were BURNING UP PIX TOO FAST. The paper implied that exhibitors had brought this famine on themselves by insisting on the double-feature, by not holding over hits for longer runs.
