Recently, a now famous lady arrived early at the studios for a chat with Dwight Cooke about her appearance on his show, You and San Francisco. She brought with her a letter that told its own story. In 1938, broke and disheartened, she had sent some scripts to the producer of one of radio's biggest shows. The producer couldn't use the scripts, but he returned them, advising her to keep on writing because she had wonderful talent. She did. The lady is Kathryn Forbes (who wrote the best seller.
