Last week, to fight such fake concerns, a committee was organized at the Lambs Club, Manhattan. Members were such big radio-earners as Frank Crumit, Jazzmen Johnny Green and Mark Warnow, Dr. Marion Sayle Taylor ("The Voice of Experience"). At first meeting they reviewed many an instance where innocents had been hoaxed by promising advertisements ("Be a Star in Six Weeks," "A Radio Job for Life").

A., up-your mark-ten-points-for-a-quart-of-rye, he's out of his element in the presence of a brilliant gentleman such as Professor Morison. The critic who confuses cultural restraint with congenital coyness ought to be drowned in his own pink ink. Samuel Eliot Morison is one of the ensiost and most sympathetic men to work with I have ever known. His ability as a stylist and an orator renders his lectures as interesting...
