Memorial for Will Rogers Wins National Backing
A national movement forms a Will Rogers memorial with Garner Hoover Ford and Jesse Jones among the committee. The piece recalls Rogers and the power of cinema to preserve life while noting postwar economic highs driven by the automobile and rising manufacture. It highlights 1920s prosperity and a tale of a Georgia farmer’s wife saving a five acre tobacco patch after a foreclosure threat.
