Tom Brown Peggy Moran are his fellow suckers, who find themselves stuck with a booking agency full of out-of-work vaude- ville players, and who hatch a bril- | liant and side-splitting scheme to| put the acrobats, fire-eaters, animal | acts, ventriloquists and aerialists back to work. | Also on the program is “Man! and heading an excellent cast. — e—— German Loss At Leningrad Aboul58,0!)0?1 LONDON, May 1—A Moscow | radio broadcast picked up here said | that during April the German forces on the Leningrad front lost | {over 58,000 officers and men, killed Ito the various uuits for rebroadcast lon the ground.
