Subject: Superman
I got a kick out of this Superman line:
"Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!
A bird? A plane? So why were those first two guys so excited?"

Subject: Court of Human Relations
Folks;
Someone requested information on the 1930's NBC series Court of Human
Relations. I'm going to expand somewhat the original person's question and
ask if anyone actually has any episodes of this series, or knows which
episodes have survived. A general outline of the show would be great, too.
Heck, _any_ information about this program would be appreciated.
If you all prefer, you can send information directly to me, and I will
post a summary of the info to the list.
Charlie (proud papa of Katherine, star of SummersTime)
