BANK ROBBERY
IN 1947 TO BE
RADIO PRAMA
Sheriff
has approved the script of the
Gangbusters radio reenactment of
the Wheatland bank robbery of
June, 1947 which is scheduled
to be theard Saturday, March 12
at 8:30° p.m. over ABC stations.
The bank robbery of which
a tireless 72-hour search in Yuba
and Nevada counties or the three
bundits who stole more than
$15,000 in a daring daylight holdup ofthe little Wheatland bank.
A Yuba county sheriff’s officer
was shot and one of the holdup
men was killed before the manhunt finally ended. The other
two criminals were tried and
convicted. and sentenced to terms
of 5 and 15 years in the federal
penitentiary.
Hoskins was informed Thursday that Gangbusters had set. the
date for the broadcast which pays
tribute to the federal, county,
and local police who joined forces
“easily tosses a 25-foot ‘in capturing ;:the bank robbing
trio. He was asked to okeh the
script, making changes or. suggestions to insure an accurate
reenactment of the crime and
the three-day search.
The Nevada County sheriff,
portrayed by a member of the
Gangbusters’ radio — staff, will
Serve as narrator of the program.
Other principals in the radio
version of the affair are Captain Joe Blake of the highway
patrol, who was with Hoskins
during most of the search, and
Aggie Kneebone, operator of the
little country store at Bridgeport where one of the robbers
took temporary refuge, representing. himself as an F°B.I. man.
When Charlotte Greenwood finishes, ‘‘Oh, You Beautiful Doll,’”’
for George Jessel, she may resume her role in the play “I Remember Mama.”’ Abbott and Costello want her for a picture, That
would be quite a team, wouldn’t
it?
Eddie Cantor is looking for a
studio to film his life story. The
deal with Warner Brothers, to
make his biography, is ‘‘completely off,’’ according to Cantor.
Cantor had two specifications in
connection with the film: 1. It
had to cost at least $2,000,000;
and 2, it had to be in color. Warners, undergoing a serious shakeup, wanted to postpone such an
expensive film at this time, but
Cantor declined and so, the deal
was off.
Metro is planning a re-make
of ‘The Pagan,”’ in which Ramon
Navarro. introduced the famous
“Pagan Love Song” twenty years
ago. Esther Williams, who is’ one
of the busiest girls in Hollywood,
is scheduled for the lead.
Danny Kaye's next picture for
Warner Brothers will be “The
Thief of Broadway.” It’s about a
comedian who burglarizes everybody’s else material.
