Thousands of listeners will remember with pleasure the film of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, which was the big film hit of two continents in 1936. They will find that the radio version follows the story closely, being based on the actual dialogue script of the film, and they will probably be happily reminded of many minor incidents and snatches of pithy and amusing dialogue which they had forgotten, but which helped to establish Mr. Deeds as something fresh, stimulating, and altogether satisfying in the way of film stories.
The adventures of the simple 'Cinderella man' make a wide appeal and an instant claim upon your attention. It is a study of human character in relation to the problems and incidents of the common world of today. Everyone has in his own make-up a responsive particle of the fundamental honesty and clarity of vision of Longfellow Deeds - and possibly, like him, everybody is to some extent 'pixielated'!
Pictures from the film will be found on page 7.
