screamingly. funny was the
Screen Guilds Play last night ever
WABC. The Offering was a special
radio adaptation of Walt Disney's
Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs," itself a delightful, beauti-
full thing. The hilariousness Of the
Screen Guild play was due to the
fact that taking part in 1t were
Edgar Bergen, Charlie Mccarthy
and Mortimer Sneerd. Mccarthy
played the role of a questioning,

portrayed by Mortimer Sneerd. His
rendition of "SneeZy" still has my
sides aching.
