...even be a very good story if the moral, Beauty is a Force Within You, weren't pointed too obviously and too often. The second is also about a Force Within You, but this is a Force of a different color, an evil one. This Force appears as the mirror image of Edward G. Robinson and by its continual wise-cracking turns the story into a parody in spite of the intentions of the writer and the efforts of the actor. The third story, by avoiding the obvious and the general in its script, is by far the best...

Scotsmen Don't Kick. Religion, politics and arson (dangerous subject) are taboo for the program's joke-making, but everything else, within the bounds of reasonable taste, goes.

This talent usually arouses protests from the nationality they have outraged. But Scotsmen never protest. During 1943 the favorite type of joke sent in by contestants has been that known as "moron."
