...will no longer be heard on "The March of TIME" or any other broadcast. The "voice," that of William Perry ("Bill") Adams will continue to speak for Senator Borah, President von Hindenburg, many another bigwig, many a lowly character in the news. "Bill" Adams, onetime professional baseballer, onetime stage actor and dramatic coach at Yale, turned to radio in 1925. For four years he was "Uncle Henry" on the old Collier's series...

He was $5-per-day extra for Keystone, before he became a Keystone director, an actor for Hal Roach in 1925. As officious offscreen as on, Chase writes and directs his own two-reel comedies.
