...sniveling naturalized U. S. citizen who sobbed his devotion to Germany in court and boohooed his way to acquittal when accused by Nazis of "treason to the Fatherland" was English Teacher Richard Roiderer of Cleveland, Ohio (TIME, April 22).

Intended for military consumption, this program included a scene between a bare-legged young woman, a master of ceremonies and an importunate young man. Sample dialog...
After the performance last week there was a family reunion, quiet talk of the mother who died two years ago, of Marcella Sembrich who was Dusolina's teacher, of the late Daniel Mayer, the manager who started her on her career, made it his business to see that she read profitable books, helped her with her programs and her costumes, developed her taste. Absent also was Brother Vittorio, now a recognized composer studying in Italy on a Pix de Rome fellowship...
