Perhaps these two over do their parts a bit at the beginning when they reminisce about their late married life, and at the end when battling among a nest of telephones and fast-flying epithets.

Gangling Playwright Robert E. Sherwood wrote the script, Lincolnesque Raymond Massey, in Chicago playing Sherwood's Abe Lincoln in Illinois, read the lead. The radio version was an episodic but surprisingly well-linked Lincoln cycle, from Springfield in a stovepipe hat (1861) back to Springfield in a cortege...
