A RADIO "TENNESSEE JOHNSON"
Sir,-Did G.M. hear 2YD’s broadcast of "Tennessee Johnson" the other Sunday night? This featured Gary Cooper, Ruth Hussey and Lionel Barrymore, arid referred to the impeachment of Johnson as "an assassination of another President by strictly constitutional means." Apparently M-G-M are not alone in their ideas, as in another portion of this radio play, presented by the U.S. Office of War Information, the action of Stevens and his "gang" was referred to as "an absolute frame-up." Interesting show!
