Matron To Be Put In Dry Dock For Repairs
Lowell Thomas, well known American commentator, whose voice is often heard in films screened at Whakatane, tells of one of his most embarrassing experiences, which occurred one day at a newsreel showing. Thomas had done the commentary on a scene in a Navy yard, and on another scene which showed a well-known society woman at the races.
Somehow the sound track got scrambled, and as the picture of the society woman appeared on the screen, Thomas was horrified to hear his own voice boom out: “This old battleship will soon be hauled into dry dock for repairs.”
