Description Boris Karloff comes before the parole board...and meets Dr. Frankenstein...while describing his U.S.O. tour of the Pacific. Connie Boswell sings, after mentioning that she's sitting in a wheelchair. Robert Ingram (reporting from Warm Springs, Georgia) introduces a chorus that sings a parody for "The March Of Dimes." The Smith Sisters, also known as, "The Ariel Sextet" (from Ariel, Ohio), come out of retirement after 40 years! They gave their first concert in 1889! They sang during President McKinley's campaign and sang (as children) for President Garfield. They're interviewed, and given some funny lines. They range in age from 74 to 82. Five of their husbands have died, the sixth was never married. She says, "I had plenty of beaus, but the other girls were faster than I was."
