...year old last week, the Atomic Age was offered, as one of its birthday presents, Atomic Power!, the first moving picture to portray it not as cloak-&-Geiger-counter melodrama but as deadly serious historical fact. MARCH OF TIME, with the cooperation of 20-odd scientists, who appear in the picture, has retraced and re-enacted the main publishable stages in its cause and towards its possible cure.

Since radio's tonsils are frequently more highly prized than its brains, Mel's flexible voice is often called in to save an otherwise disastrous show. He can portray 57 different characters, often does eight or ten on a single program. Once the record turntable for sound effects failed. Blanc stepped up to the mike and, using only his voice, squealed like a skidding auto and did a corking good imitation of a bottle being opened and poured. For Warner Bros.'s cartoons, he is the voice of Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny...
