...Lloyd C. Douglas' 1935 best-seller exhibits Errol Flynn, last seen in the uniform of a British lancer in The Charge of the Light Brigade, somewhat less advantageously swathed in the white tunic of a U.

Miss Roche and Dr. Parran considered this project so important that, prior to the Ohio flood disaster, they had arranged to go to Fort Worth...
