Our guests, Alton Cook, radio editor of the New York World Telegram, and Dinty Doyle radio editor of the New York Journal American and columnist for the Hearst Papers.

Lower Silvers conduct our orchestra. And now, the producer of the Lutz Radio Theater. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Dr. Lloyd C.

I tried, said he to sound a philosophy, good for all types of people who allow comparatively small matters to accumulate and become an almost insurmountable mental barrier.
