Jewell Cardwell as Murphey


The concern on the faces of Jewell Cardwell and Charles Buffum, newsroom employes, is not over a page one story. It's over whether Fran Whatshername would ever return from her eight-week trip half way around the world. During Fran Murphey's absence, Jewell aptly handled the Good Afternoon column. On Jewell's last day subbing for Fran she celebrated by showing up in a Murphey type ensemble, Oshkosh-Bi-gosh overalls and checked shirt.

Where's the desk piled so high with stuff that "Murphey" saved that you can only see the top of her head behind it?
