...bosses of the War Production Board were working out a new plan for the distribution of materials. It was high time, too. Although actual shutdowns of war plants due to nonarrival of materials have been few and relatively brief, many a plant manager has been kept on tender-hooks.* Few are the war plants which have had enough materials to run at full capacity-50%, 60%, 70%, 80% is more like it. Even though Purp is done for, the mess that it made of materials distribution may be felt worse than ever during the next two months...

It succeeds best with the early years-the tough, tender, Irish clannishness of The Four Cohans (Father Walter Huston, Mother Rosemary DeCamp, Daughter Jeanne Cagney,† Son Jimmy) and their variety act; Songwriter Cohan's accidental partnership with Sam H.
