George Allison Phelps (1893 - 1953) was a poet, newspaper columnist, and a broadcaster over several radio stations in Los Angeles area. He became known at the time as the Radio Philosopher and the New Paul Revere for his moralistic and sometimes bombastic attacks on various issues of the day. He is best known today as the man who had latched onto the “Hollywood refugee issue”. Europeans were, in the words of Louella Parsons, “pouring into [the US] by the boatload ever since Herr Hitler marched into Paris—and right or wrong, mark my word, plenty of Hollywood’s best jobs will go to them…” “Phelps…played the issue with a vengeance. He gave daily broadcasts on the subject and often laced his attacks on aliens with threats to expose immorality among prominent members of the film community. According to the New York Times, Phelps was not averse to breaking into studio files to search for dirt, and he was armed with ‘a well organized movement afoot to provide him with other trade information.’” BECAUSE MEDIA RATE SHIPPING IS FREE ON THE BOOKS I SELL, COMBINE THIS WITH OTHER ITEMS FROM MY EBAY STORE.
