The Mae West Jewel Robbery
The story of the real robbery of Miss West's jewels and $3000 in cash is dramatized. Well done! Martha Wentworth impersonates Mae West. The program was broadcast on the day one of the robbers was caught. The script was used on "Calling All Cars" again on March 19, 1935 (see cat. #72084). This is possibly program #69.
