...authenticity, Father Coughlin repeatedly stressed their "factuality," quoted Henry Ford (a onetime believer in the Protocols) : "They fit in with what is going on." Father Coughlin's point, buttered with many a some-of-my-best- friends-are-Jews disclaimer of antiSemitism, has been that Jews are to blame for Communism, that the aims of the Protocols closely resemble those of Communism-and of the New Deal, the C.

Wayne Morris as Billy Randolph manages to get the just blame for all these deception,--being a big hearted with bungler with big ideas. Priscilla Lane is his inspiration, while Eddie Albert as the dumb athlete and William Tracy as the hazed "rat" both give complete performances...
