A stock Digest joke has four Rovers meeting in the middle of the Sahara, and finding that they are all on the same story. Along with bonuses, Wally sends his editors and Rovers warm notes of praise. An "especially fine job of cutting" may bring his note that an editor "deserves the Distinguished Service Medal." Especially pleased with Rover Miller, author of an article on needless...
Twice nominated for an Academy Award (for an Italian soldier in 1943's Sahara and the Mexican father in 1945's A Medal for Benny), Naish has been under contract to a studio only once, to Paramount in 1938.

...moral and ethical world Saint-Ex envisioned. As with most such plottings of mystical patterns, it is a hard one to follow, in this century or any other. In Wisdom, Saint-Ex imagines himself as a desert prince sharing his accumulated wisdom with his subjects (he loved the Sahara and the tradition-ruled life of its people). He is a benevolent despot, brave, warlike, just and unsentimental, the kind of man with whom T. E. Lawrence would have been proud to share a tent...
