Mercury Playhouse: "Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years" 2/03/1949It's the beginning of the biography by Carl Sandburg (with Gregory Peck playing Lincoln). I didn't know this, but the girl he first fell in love with died of malaria. Wow - I was wondering why he wasn't calling her "Mary" and instead was calling her "Anne". Aww - even though she sounded really good for someone with malaria, she died and he walked the 7 miles to her grave and laid on it. Poor guy!

And they're sponsored by Hallmark. We're coming up to Valentine's Day and this reminds me that, yup: I hate that day.
Casey: Crime Photographer: "The Blond Lipstick" 11/06/1947sponsored by Anchor Hawking: the Most Famous Name in Glass.

In a commercial for Anchor glass (one-way beer bottles - no deposit/no return), one asks, "Hey, when you go to buy beer, do you, or junior, go and pick it up?"

It's nice to know that Casey crime photographer didn't fall hook-line-&-sinker for the pretty girl (Laura) that was getting money donated for a special fund (her boss stole it, kidnapped her & was going to kill her).

Anchor Hawking glass also has baking glass that works with cooking items.
