The Lee Overall Boys That's the way the Lee Overall Boys greet listeners every Saturday morning at 7 o'clock from WLS, Chicago, for the H. D. Lee Company, makers of Lee Overalls. They are assisted by Ralph Waldo Emerson, organist; and John Brown, pianist; who add sparkle to the programs with their brilliant organ-piano duets. The feature of the program is a tribute to the unknown thousands of heroes in overalls—men who carry the job through. Each week, William Vickland, reader, dramatizes a true story of a man in over- alls who has stepped from his role among the workers who carry on while dreamers dream and plan, to the pinnacle of honor in some heroic act toward his fellowmen. This program is sponsored by the H. D. Lee Company, the world's largest manufacturers of work clothing. For years Lee Overalls, Lee Jackets, Lee Work Shirts, and other Lee work and play clothing, have lead the world in overall value.

It recalled such mem- ories that I was tearful when I finished reading it.’ Producer Arthur Gardner, who played a German soldier in All Quiet on the Western Front ‘Here for the first time, is the full story behind the first great masterpiece of the sound cinema … Kelly’s painstaking research has unearthed a wealth of detail, sometimes funny, sometimes moving, but always illuminating. This is a worthy companion to the greatest war movie of all time.’ Professor Nicholas Cull, University of Leicester ‘This is a superb book, meticulously researched, compulsively readable and consistently fascinating’ Professor Jeffrey Richards, Lancaster University ‘[All Quiet on the Western Front ] provides the most detailed docu- mentation on the making of a classic of American cinema … There is evidence here of considerable and unique research.’ Anthony Slide, Classic Images ‘A concise, thorough and eloquent history of one of the most important – and influential of all American films.’ James Curtis, author of Between Flops: the life of Preston Sturges and New World of Gods and Monsters: the life of James Whale .
