...Brothers Kellogg have long disagreed on the immediate use of wealth. Nearly 30 years ago John Harvey invented a precooked breakfast food. The brothers manufactured it together.

It is better as a picture than it was as a play because the mechanics of the modern camera help Bert Lytell to play his dual role of twin orphans-one adopted by a family of wealth, the other by a washwoman.
