...Roosevelt's Page," a feature of Crowell Publishing Co.'s sturdy Woman's Home Companion for two years from August 1933 to July 1935.* Last autumn, Mrs. Roosevelt began dictating her autobiography, carried it up to the Democratic National Convention of 1924, showed the manuscript to Franklin Roosevelt when it was done. The President suggested no changes, and Mrs. Roosevelt's dapper literary agent, George T. Bye, made the sale not to Crowell's Companion but to Curtis Publishing Co.'s Home Journal.

Director Capra went to work with typical Hollywood opulence. He bought the original manuscript, gave it to Scenarist Robert Riskin to rework, devised one of the most magnificent sets in cinema history.

...these solemnly indiscreet records is Mabel Dodge Luhan, patroness of art, friend of D. H. Lawrence and of other literary great, wife of a Taos Indian whose folkways she recounted in Winter in Taos. The scandalous books are the successive volumes of her Intimate Memories. This is a long manuscript, about which lurid literary legends are steadily accumulating. It now reposes in the safe of Publishers Harcourt and Brace and is not to be published in its entirety until Mabel Dodge Luhan has been dead for 25 years. Meanwhile with each publication the author's selections from her memories...
