...much a part of the Broadway scene as a ham actor out of work, the flashy International Casino, melting pot of buyers, cooks up a long, elaborate girls-&-gagsters vaudeville. With never a lozenge to cool his throat, Wisecracker Milton Berle (Earl Carroll Vanities) serves as tireless, tedious Master of Ceremonies for such acts as Georgie Tapps's neat dancing, Harry Richman's loud singing, and Caribbean Rapture, a writhing dance to voodoo drums that is the best and warmest of Manhattan's tropical chorus spectacles...

If it is Franklin Roosevelt or some other...
...details were as sordid as the case was significant. Ten years ago strapping, handsome Henry Philip Ewald went to Mobile to become executive editor of a new afternoon paper, the Press.

He not only wrote editorials, but poked & pried into the recesses of Mobile's underworld...
