The great picture plays, the great actors and actresses, techniques and skills chosen from the honor roll of those who have won or been nominated for, the famous golden Oscar of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science.

And now, ER Squib and Sons manufacturing chemists to the medical profession since 1858, bring you as our stars tonight. Olivia de Havilland and Jean-Pierre Oma. You will hear Mr. Havilland and Mr. Oma in Hold Back the Dawn, the screenplay which as best motion picture production of 1941 was nominated for seven different Academy Awards.

Mr. Havilland will play the role she created on the screen for Hold Back the Dawn and in which she was nominated as Best Actress of the Year for the 1941 Academy Award. My maiden name was Emmy Brown.

My husband's name is George Iscovecu. He was born in Romania, but he spent most of his life in Paris, on the Riviera, in Sammaritz, at the Lido, following the seasons and the rich people. He was a dancer. Then the war came. People who had money went to America. You need a visa to go to America.

So George went to Mexico to a dusty little town that straddled the border to California. There's a wire fence. You can see right through it into the United States. George didn't think you'd have to wait very long.

I see by your questionnaire that you wish to enter the United States permanently. Yes, sir. Now you were born in Bucharest, so you come under the Romanian quota. Unfortunately, that court is very small and very crowded.
