Who knew that the kind and gentle mayor of the town was also a
slumlord and a banker in another persona?!

Youneverknow.

Well, W:pedia doesn't pay much attention at all to LB's career in
media other that the movies. "The Mayor of the Town" was a major
program in radio days. We didn't miss a show.

I was surpassed to see what he looked like. Thanks to the radio show,
I'd always had a mental picture of him as being somewhat "bodily" - as
we say in Marshall - in the manner of Sidney Greenstreet or another
man of that phenotype.
