One Thousand Dollar Prize
Uncle Goodheart is judging a contest that offers a $1000 prize, and this money comes at the perfect moment. The Proscenium Club urgently needs $1000 to help out an actor who is struggling. The sponsor of the contest that Uncle Goodheart is judging could provide exactly what the club needs.
Nathaniel "Magnificent" Montague, is an American R&B disc jockey notable not only for the soul music records he helped promote on KGFJ Los Angeles and WWRL New York City, but also his trademark catch-phrase, "Burn, baby! Burn!" that became the rallying cry of the 1965 Watts riots. Following criticism that this phrase had inadvertently stirred up rioters, Montague advocated non-violence and urged young listeners to pursue their education, coining the new phrase "Learn, baby! Learn!"
