Next week a frustrated soap-opera character will have the dubious distinction of turning up in two lathery melodramas at the same time. His script name is Michael West (played by Actor Joe Julian), gimpy-legged lover of Big Sister, a radio do-gooder of note. So attractive did Lever Bros.

Despite Latin-American fondness for the sanguine (bullfights, the annually-produced slaughter melodrama Don Juan Tenorio, the "Day of the Dead," etc.), Cooper will not in his new job employ his weird Lights Out talent...
