...National Broadcasting Co. Kate Smith's story is another one based on tobacco. Her 240 Ib. and an easy, tricky way of singing had scarcely identified her with musicomedy when La Palina cigars snatched her up for a sum appropriate to her size.

Three years ago a young Italian girl went up unannounced to the Manhattan apartment of Tenor Giovanni Martinelli, rang the bell and asked for a ticket for that night's performance of La Juive.
