Harry: Howdy, folks. Charles: How does it feel to be the bolder of the world’s record for the mile run? Harry: Fine. Won’t you have some of McCaffertv’s Fine Candies? The only solid food I eat while training is Fisher’s Famous Fresh Fish For Athletes. Gussie and Lillian Fisher market it. Alice: People, Margery Swenson is a sensation in vaudeville. She is appearing at the Floyd Conway theatre in Cleveland. She plays two pianos at one time, one with her toes and one with her fingers.
