That the Smoker, will be anything but a one star affair is affirmed by a startling eleventh-hour addition to the cast which was consummated last night. The added attraction is Arthur Blake, one of the country's outstanding mimics, who has given two command performances at the White House within the past year. Blake, who at present is breaking all records at a local Boston night club, is famous for his impersonation of Mrs. Roosevelt; and it is reported that upon seeing the mimic's antics the First Lady laughed heartily, as did the President...

For four and a half hours West Virginia's Rush Dew Holt bellowed opposition, drawing breath only to mimic stridently Franklin Roosevelt's Groton-Harvard accent and inflection. North Carolina's Reynolds charged that Stalin sank the Athenia. But only the stubbornest Senate orator could ignore the fact that the galleries lay almost empty day after day.
