Jimmie Fidler in Hollywood, Feb. 3, 1941

Feb. 3, 1941: Tom Treanor has the story of how one woman escaped from Nazi-occupied France. Also notice the story about defense industries lifting their ban on hiring older workers.  The story notes "a California aircraft company 'put on several hundred men in the age group 50 to 65.' " Marlene Dietrich, who's been weight-gaining, looks swell now, but someone should warn her not to carry a good thing too far, Jimmie Fidler says.
