They're calling Red Skelton all kinds of names these days, such as, "Terrific," "Riot," "Excruciating," "Sensation." etc. Imagine that! And now he gets "Honored!" Isn't that the limit? Such name-calling! We never saw the like. And all because a guy appears in a movie called "Whistling in the Dark," and starts people laughing, and laughing, and laughing. Then a whispering campaign, like the "V," begins. Soon they don't whisper any more; it's shouted right out loud: "Did you see this Red Skelton fellow? Haw-haw-haw! He makes you double up." So you investigate. Such propaganda! And we, the people, are eating it up. This Red riot is getting us all. Look at him! He isn't handsome. He's no Clark Gable when it comes to "pitching woo" with the cinema cuties. Yet Ann Rutherford and Virginia Grey leap at each other's throats for the love of him. We give up. All we can do is give Red the run of our Honor Page and let you cheerfully figure out the rest for yourselves. The innocent bystander, Red Skelton, looks on as Ann Rutherford and Virginia Grey, lower left, go to it. Directly above, Ann successfully curing Red of a "blonde fever."
