Senator McAdoo to Talk For Judiciary Reform Over WIRE Tonight.

By RALPH NORMAN

The Oakies of Hollywood easily qualify as radio's “maddest” fam= ily. They admit it themselves, but have a grand time being it. Jack will talk for hours about the ‘little woman” then go home, lock her in a room to listen for hours to his flute playing. And you know from the movies the worst about Jack's flute playing.

But when the former Venita Varden talks about Jack's radio and movie work, she’s serious. She goes
