- Here's the curtain for the first act, starring Dick Powell as Jimmy and Linda Darnell as Betty, with Raymond Walburn as Maxford.

- Five months ago, the Maxford House Coffee Company offered a 25000$ first prize for the best Maxford House Coffee slogan.

- Don't ask us, ask Bildocker, he's been holding out all day.

- I'll hold out forever!

And while I'm on the subject, I just want to tell you that of all the groups of fat heads, that I've ever had the misfortune to gaze upon, you take the log pail.
Pick your winner, send him a check, and tell him to go soak his head!
But since we do everything here in a highly non-commercial basis, I merely take pleasure in giving you this small check written out with my heart's blood! And that's all there is too it, here.
Is it good luck or bad luck when a black cat crosses your path? -Miss, I always say that depends on what happens afterwards.
Contests! What good are contests anyway? Why they make you a million enemies. And all they prove is you've got too much money in the first place.
