ILLUSTRATED PRESS
IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN in a newspaper plant, you know what we mean when we talk about the smell of the presses or the composing room. In listening to Big Town, you can hear and smell the plant and see Lorelei (Below) wending her way in deep thought through the composing room of the ILLUSTRATED PRESS.

6 RADIO PARADE
Editor EDWARD G. ROBINSON
REHEARSAL OF BIG TOWN in the well-worn Maxine Elliot Theatre in New York during the cast’s annual pilgrimage east. The old lantern high above the heads of the cast is not a prop, but really a means of illumination in what is now CBS Playhouse Number 4. In the foreground about the mike with Mr. Robinson is Betty Jane Tyler, child actress, and Donald Briggs, feature Hollywood actor, whose arm is encircling Ona Munson.
LORELEI GETS A “STORY” from Big Town Producer Crane Wilbur (Above), and if that is how she gets her story—no wonder the ILLUSTRATED PRESS is so hot. Robinson and Wilbur have engaged in an immense amount of research in quest of material for the dramas.
Scores of conferences have been held with newspapermen, FBI members in all parts of the country, government officials in Washington and law enforcement officers.
