President Roosevelt's recent Little Business Men's Conference will come in for a bit of good-natured gibing at the Women's National Press Club Annual Dinner and Stunt Party at the Willard Hotel, Saturday, March 5. The ladies of the Administration, headed by Mrs. Roosevelt, will be honored guests at the party. Mrs. Dorothy Fletcher Howarth will impersonate Secretary Roper and the Little Business Men in the skit 'Nice Work If You Can Get It,' to be staged at the affair. Note: this photograph is for release to morning papers of Sunday, March 6, 1938." Harris & Ewing glass negative. View full size.

What a bunch of knotheads.

I guess Mortimer Snerd wasn't invited. He wasn't a businessman anyway as he could barely count. But at least Effie Clinker was there although she was in disguise. Too bad their sister Candice couldn't make it. She wasn't born 'til 1946.

Dummy Dan

A 10-pack of Charlie McCarthy dolls?

What would Edgar Bergen say? (Through his lips, of course!)
