Stephen Tyree Early is Franklin Roosevelt's Master of Newshawks. Unlike skinny Mr. Howe and skinny Mr. Mclntyre, he is a big, fat-jowled fellow, of the type that appeals to Postmaster General Farley.

...solid anti-new dealers, like myself, this little farce on the current situation in this great country of ours provided more than a pleasant evening of entertainment. That master card, Smiling Jack Benny, friend of all the little boys down whose throats Jell-o is forced each evening, is the real clown of the show, playing the part of the poor banker just out of Atlanta after a five year vacation there for his noble deeds in the great days of '29.
