...such, he was a completely individualistic and often baffling combination of Daddy Warbucks, Captain Midnight, Scrooge and Salesman Sam. A product of McGuffey's Reader and the International Correspondence Schools, he had a fierce faith in God and in the attitudes and platitudes (an honest day's work for an honest day's pay) of the last century. He was a living, brave and battered testimonial to his credo...

Ideally, says Quinn, "we try to find a story of fairly simple people in an extraordinarily emotional situation." But the ideal specifications cannot always be met. Last week's show, The Queen's Husband, written by Robert Emmet Sherwood in 1928, told how a constitutional monarch outwitted a domineering wife and a dictatorial prime minister by uniting with a Communist-Labor coalition. Kraft's version emerged as pure Graustark, with not a Communist...
