boo radley appears to the townspeople to be : . . . a malevolent phantom . people said he existed but jem and i had never seen him . people said he went out at night when the moon was high , and peeped in windows . when people’s azaleas froze in a cold snap , it was because he had breathed on them . any stealthy crimes committed in maycomb were his work . ( lee , 1960 , p . 9 )

with so much at stake , more people than ever forked over membership dues ( at least $ 40 ) in time to be allowed to vote for the 2015 hugos . before voting closed on july 31 , 5 , 950 people cast ballots ( a whopping 65 percent more than had ever voted before ) .

during his time at ge , he decided to become a lawyer and enrolled at santa clara university law school where he graduated summa cum laude in 1973 . during law school , he clerked for california supreme court justice stanley mosk who wrote and spoke very favorably of his work and future as a lawyer .

boo’s intervention of bob ewell’s attempt to murder the finch children ensures scout’s future , giving rise to the dramatic growth in their relationship - boo need not make any more attempts in the future to win scout’s friendship , and scout’s acceptance of boo paves the way to her future as a compassionate woman .

boo’s desire to befriend the finch children arises from his being shut away in his home for so many years . if he only had the wherewithal to cross the street and say “hey” he would have no problem , and therefore would potentially not serve as a person scout would be prejudiced against , thus eliminating a way for scout to recognize her own biases .

‘our education system is a disgrace and for it to happen under our watch , and for us to literally destroy a generation of kids … is an indictment worse than the years of apartheid . ’ ‘just because we can go to school it doesn’t mean you are getting quality education . ’ ( executive )

motivated by the gold rush and internal up evils , thousands of chinese went to north america to help local construction one century and half ago . but they suffered from racial discrimination such as the anti - chinese exclusion act . only when the second world war broke out had the racial act been abolished . but not until recent years had politicians in these countries apologized formally to the chinese communities and delivered compensations for individuals . this is a journey looking for justice .

it’s a novel filled with disaster and possibility that changes the course of world history .

jake is starting school and finding it quite difficult to adapt . he soon finds a friend and gets the help he needs . this is a gentle introduction to autism / aspergers for children and has a friendly guide for adults with signs and symptoms to look out for as well as helpful websites . jeanette purkis a campaigner for autism in australia has endorsed the book with a foreword .

steve was close to sonwabo yengo , who lived in zaula street , where they would have gumbas ( parties ) . the group loved singing , and steve in particular loved the song by donny hathaway , to be young , gifted and black , but they also sang struggle songs and choral classics . his favourite freedom struggle song , according to xolela mangcu , contained the lyrics : ‘we are leaders of africa . rise up , leaders , and let us move forward . ’

rebecca “becky” anderson and a team of western north carolinians created handmade in america . she was founding director of the organization , which established a craft - focused economy for 25 counties in the state . it became a cultural heritage model for national heritage areas , and a model for 16 state programs .

to say the face of canada has changed over the last 50 years , let alone the last 150 , is perhaps an understatement .

“steve was expelled for absolutely no reason at all . but in retrospect i welcome the south african government’s gesture of exposing a really good politician . i had unsuccessfully tried to get steve interested in politics . the police were able to do in one day what had eluded me for years . this time the great giant was awakened . ”

‘i walked with my uncle in town , he still has that anger in him for apartheid . … it’s like something that is going to be with them forever . the older people still live that anger . ’ ( dispatch )

in the interest of justice , witnesses are called to testify to provide an insight into what happened between tom and mayella . bob ewell’s version of the events that occurred is clearly a lie , and as a consequence he is not able to put the bad reputation he has had in the past with the townspeople behind him , “ . . . he knows in his heart that very few people in maycomb really believe his and mayella’s yarns . he thought he’d be a hero but all he got for his pains was…was , okay , we’ll convict this negro but get back to your dump . ” ( lee , 1960 , pp . 275 - 276 ) ; rather than wait for his case to be put before the court of appeals , tom robinson , believing the past will not change attempts to escape prison and is shot down , “‘i guess tom was tired of white men’s chances and preferred to take his own’” ( lee , 1960 , p . 260 ) ; the negroes in the community already suffer from their past history of slavery , and as tom’s honest recollections of the events of november 21 do not result in justice , an opportunity for the negro community to rise above their past is lost .

the report quoted a statement by the minister of justice , jimmy kruger , in which the minister presented the government’s version of steve’s death , saying that he had been on a hunger strike since 5 september , refusing food . kruger acknowledged that a district surgeon had been called to examine steve on 7 september ‘because mr biko appeared unwell’ . the medic , kruger continued , found nothing wrong with biko .

some sad puppies say martin ' s enormous success has blinded him to their struggles , but nearly everyone ( except beale ) agrees that martin has been a voice of reason amidst the screaming throngs . he acknowledges that some sad puppies claims have merit . for example , he agrees that people like bellet who self - publish will increasingly be a force to be reckoned with , and predicts they will eventually win their share of hugos ( though he rejects the idea that they have been formally discriminated against—it’s merely too hard for most hugo voters to learn which ones to read ) . he doesn ' t think there ' s necessarily anything wrong with campaigning for nominations—logrolling has gone on during the run - up to the hugos for years .

the jury will have to imagine a negro is telling the truth and white people are lying , a scenario the townspeople with a fixed attitude concerning race are not likely to envision ; tom loses his life when he comes up with a plan for escape and makes a run for freedom ; jem loses his idealistic view of maycomb and must envision a new way to think about his neighbors , “it’s like bein’ a caterpillar in a cocoon , that’s what it is . ” he said . “like somethin’ asleep wrapped up in a warm place . i always thought maycomb folks were the best folks in the world , least that’s what they seemed like . ” ( lee , 1960 , p . 237 )

scout cannot comprehend how her teacher can hate hitler for persecuting the jews , yet countenance the townspeople’s racist attitude toward the negro community ; scout can’t understand people bitterly opposing atticus for defending a negro - and looking askance upon the “bad example” he is setting for his children - yet re - electing him to the state legislature without any opposition ; scout appreciates that jem is growing to be a man ; and so forth .

when it appeared he had his fill of sports writing and officiating , babb went to california and took his place in the film industry . it doesn’t appear babb’s films had anything to do with sports , but rather controversial or easily sensationalized subjects .

the store will include a fuel center and drive - thru pharmacy as well as a new concept for kroger that will allow customers to order groceries online , clicklist .

a few years back i sent waters some babb memorabilia that included an original mom and dad sex manual and a mom and dad branded premium ( i forgot whether it was the burn or the rectal ointment ) . i ' ve been on water ' s christmas list ever since . we ' ve also discussed working towards the noble goal of helping kroger babb find his rightful place in the annals of film history .

once babb came on the scene , though , there were pages dedicated to local sports and they were together . babb wrote a column which had the title “bumble bee , ” which he used to offer his opinion as well as to feature local athletes .

" in the 35 years or so i knew kroger babb , never once did he not proclaim ' mom and dad ' anything but a great crusade destined to save the world from sin and corruption . never once did he admit to his friends and associates that it actually was the epitome of expert exploitation . babb ' s favorite admonition was , ' you gotta tell ' em to sell ' em , ' and like any salesman , babb sold himself first . " - - david f . friedman , quoted in a youth in babylon , 1990 .

born in the hamlet of lees creek , ohio , babb still likes to refer to himself , with artful modesty , as " just a country boy with a shoeshine . " called kroger as a nickname because of his father ' s fondness for the b . h . kroger brand of coffee , babb had that wild variety of jobs that characterizes so many american entrepreneurs . among things he refereed enough football and basketball games to make ripley ' s believe it or not , and staged depression - era stunts like burying alive one digger o ' dell right in the center of wilmington , ohio .

i have this fascination with kroger babb , who was a movie producer / director from the early days of film . he is known as the king of the roadshow . he would take his movie on the road from town to town renting out local movie houses and creating events worthy of attracting crowds .

a new 100 , 000 - square - foot kroger is expected to open next fall in the former kmart building in hendersonville — less than a block from its current location .

babb was the producer of the ern westmore hollywood glamour show , which may have been the first makeover reality show , in 1953 .

kroger babb was the hollywood producer of " mom and dad " , the most successful sex hygiene film ever , and the biggest pre - 1960 exploitation film of any kind . the film made millions . he made a handfull of other films with such stars as hardie albright and ruth warwick and the talented moppet , ginger prince . kroger ' s motto was , " you gotta tell ' em to sell ' em " . in 1943 while roadshowing " dust to " dust , a sex ed drama with birthing footage , babb attended a texas town meeting , called because numerous high school girls had become pregnant by soldiers from a nearby camp . " it was a hell of a meeting , " babb remembered , you had all these old biddies squabbling and roasting everybody . then it hit me . . . this would make a hell of a movie ! " years later kroger was the inspiration for the successful career of john waters .

perhaps the most revolutionary thing babb did was to give his film such a bland and praiseworthy title . who could object to a movie called

kroger babb , an exploitation exhibitor , got the rights to summers with monika for $ 10 , 000 . he then put in $ 50 , 000 into the film for cutting and dubbing . he got it through deceptive and suspect means , and svensk took legal action because they soid the rights to janus films . they worked out a deal to release “stories of a bad girl , ” babb’s version for five years , while janus would release it for art audiences .

members of the hendersonville regional planning commission approved a site plan for the store tuesday night after granting several waivers related to building materials that will allow kroger to build a new prototype for the company .

mildred babb . journalist , screenwriter . met in 1944 ; wrote screenplay for " mom and dad ; " married in late 1960s ; survived him .

babb’s associates agreed with his belief that “nothing’s hopeless if it’s advertised right” , stating that he “could take any piece of junk and sell it . ”

karamoja was a 1954 film produced by exploitation filmmaker kroger babb . a documentary of a native tribe from uganda , the film was marketed by babb to focus on the imagery that would be shocking to an american audience , including advertising which claimed that the tribe wore " only the wind and live on blood and beer . ' ' scenes in the film included " the bleeding of cattle and drinking of the warm blood , and self - mutilation as a form of ornamentation , " as well as a full - color circumcision scene . karamoja proved to be less controversial than many of babb ' s other films , grossing less in box office revenue as a result .

what kroger babb does retain , however , is his absolute , almost religious faith in the all - conquering powers of salesmanship . " he had a theory , " explains attorney henry fox , " that if there was a crowd of at least three people standing around , you ought to be selling them something . it was an absolute sin if you didn ' t . "

the lurid pink / el cheapo austere cover of " the key to successful sexual relations " . the " dr . elliot forbes " who babb employed to tour with

though an exact start and end date were not found for babb’s tenure at the news journal , it looks like he started in 1924 and worked until approximately 1934 .

a 1980 story in the news journal , stated babb earned a note in ripley’s believe it or not for having officiated more than 1 , 000 high school football and 1 , 000 high school basketball games in his career . during the 1933 - 34 school year , babb was said to have officiated 147 football and basketball games .

the success flowed , rather , from babb ' s extraordinary promotional abilities . working from the premise that " you ' ve got to tell ' em to sell ' em . " babb would simply overwhelm a town with exploitation material , even pioneering the use of direct mail advertising , sending four - color heralds to every mailbox in town .

christina hughes babb is the managing editor at advocate media and blogs about running at runningkick . wordpress . com . she lives with her husband and two children in dallas .

babb said in tuesday ' s conference call with banking analysts that the bank " was not relying on a significantly better economic environment or a substantial increase in interest rates . "

babb insisted that the program be followed closely ; a contractual agreement with theaters required that each presentation follow a similar approach . because the forbes lecture formed part of the viewing , extra

babb died in 1980 but a few years after i was lucky enough to meet babb ' s widow , mildred . together with some colleagues , i had set out to dig up more information on this forgotten film producer ( i had come across some cryptic references to him in various publications ) . mildred was eager to talk and talk she could . then in her 80s she went full throttle , non - stop , waxing poetic about the shock value of her shared ventures with babb ; spinning hilarious stories delivered with proverbial rapier - sharp wit and to top it off she could still drink myself and my colleagues under the table . there was a simpatico connection cemented by our desire to resurrect babb from cinema ' s dustbin of history . she responded by laying all sorts of memorabilia on us , including original scripts , posters , copies of mom and dad sex manuals , copies of babb ' s films ( including a 35mm nitrate print of mom and dad ) ; even a bust of kroger sculpted by the daughter of longtime friend and fellow promoter , colonel sanders . a subsequent research trip to babb ' s hometown of wilmington in 1989 netted us even more valuables ( he was still a well - loved and remembered figure ) including boxes of mom and dad premiums - - match books and medicinals - - branded with the film ' s title . but the pièce de résistance was the actual banner that hung outside babb ' s wilmington headquarters proclaiming " hygienic films : producers , exploiters , promoters . "

in high school at wilmington , babb was the school cheerleader . from information gathered over the years , it appears there was a single cheerleader for the football and basketball teams at wilmington back then . i picture the guy with the large megaphone yelling to the local fans to root for their team . babb also was the team manager for football and basketball at whs .

however , he reportedly made a great deal of money from these films . according to a report in the los angeles times , per wikipedia , babb’s “mom and dad” film grossed anywhere from $ 40 million to $ 100 million . also , wikipedia’s biography on babb said he received “the first annual sid grauman showmanship award” in 1951 , presented by the hollywood rotary club .

many of babb ' s films changed title from town to town , and he helped pioneer the midnight movie , along with segregated - sex audiences . babb helped introduce ingmar bergman to the usa in 1955 when he showed the early " sommaren med monika " as " monika , the story of a bad girl " . he even toured a live horror show memorably titled " dr . hassam ' s chasm of spasms " . by the time babb retired in the 1970s , his career had inspired ed wood jr . , russ meyer and his own protege david f . friedman to produce their own no - budget epics , as well as william castle , who surpassed babb with such gimmicks as emergo and percepto and theater lobbies filled with nurses and monsters .

consider at the time , only two schools in the county — blanchester and wilmington — had football . blanchester eventually dropped football , so babb’s games had to come outside the county for sure .

kwaheri , also known as kwaheri : vanishing africa or kwaheri : the forbidden , is a 1964 mondo film directed by david chudnow and thor brooks . the film was a pseudo - documentary about vanishing native tribes in africa . kwaheri means goodbye in swahili . as the film focused more on the controversial aspects of the tribal societies , it gained the attention of exploitation filmmakers , including kroger babb , whose hallmark productions distribution company acquired the american rights .

and then there was a film " by this foreign director , he became famous , i can ' t think of the fellow ' s name , " that babb was called on to promote . the director was ingmar bergman , who saw " monika " become his first american success after babb tagged it with one of his immortal lines , " the story of a bad girl .

we learn of the evolution of the star - studded premiere by exhibitor nonpareil sid grauman , whose chinese theater became world - famous for the celebrity handprints in its cement forecourt . jones then calls long overdue attention to the late kroger babb , who , among others , turned out the phenomenally successful " mom and dad , " a crude 1945 cautionary tale about teen pregnancy , complete with lectures and scenes of childbirth requiring separate screenings for men and women .

howard w . kroger babb ( december 30 1906 - january 28 1980 ) was an american film and television producer and showman . his marketing techniques were similar to a travelling salesman ' s with roots in the medicine - show tradition . self - described as america ' s fearless young showman he is best known for his presentation of the 1945 exploitation film mom and dad which was added to the national film registry of the library of congress in 2005 .

babb often used the supposed educational value of his films as an offer of defense , and recommended such tactic to theater owners in his pressbooks . one successful challenge was in new york city , where

the ruling planet of capricorn is saturn . therefore , lucky days were saturdays and lucky numbers were : 1 , 4 , 8 , 10 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 22 and 26 . brown , steel , grey and black were kroger babb ' s lucky colors . typical positive character traits of capricorn include : aspiring , restrained , firm , dogged and determined . negative character traits could be : shy , pessimistic , negative in thought and awkward .

yes , i gave the pharmacist at kroger a fake prescription . she called the doctor , then the police . all i could do was sit there . i was out of pills . i was sick . so tired . couldn’t move . couldn’t run anymore .

by the time kroger babb came along , the formula for a sex hygiene movie was so well established that all he did was incorporate every element of every sex hygiene movie in history into a single film . but in search of even better profits , he changed the rules slightly . many of the old sex - hygiene films had played in grindhouses or marginal theaters or even bars and restaurants . he wanted to break through to the biggest theaters in the country .

but when babb was first credited with a byline in the wilmington news journal , sept . 24 , 1924 for a wilmington high school football game against withrow , the local sports coverage began to change .

and this didn ' t happen in just one city at a time , oh no . in his salad days babb had 300 units on the road at the same time , each complete with its own nurses and its own lecturer , and to this day he continues to run into men who tell him . " you don ' t know me mr . babb , but my name was elliot forbes . "

comerica chairman and ceo ralph w . babb jr . said the pension changes plus some extra cost - saving measures would add about $ 40 million to the bank ' s initial financial target for the restructuring .

today i’d like to introduce you to the first dna proven lineage of devon , which is also known as devon pedigree 01 . we stumbled across this tree in one of our early dna attempts when we didn’t yet understand the complexity of the babb line in devon . we had mistakenly believed that we could connect phillip babb of the isles of shoals , maine with one of the devon lineages by doing a dna test .

that was reason enough for one wily american showman , the notorious kroger babb , to acquire the film for the american grindhouse market . he dubbed in a score by the lounge master les baxter , and changed the title to “monika : the story of a bad girl . ” ( the new york times did not consider this news that’s fit to print , and didn’t get around to reviewing “summer with monika” until the unadulterated version of the film was released in the united states , in 2007 . )

considered the most talented of the westmore brothers , ern found work at warner bros . studio , rko studios , and eagle - lion studios . he was the director of make - up on over 50 films during his career , and was also featured as himself in a number of b - movie - style features for kroger babb , including one too many , and secrets of beauty , also known as why men leave home , an instructional primer for women regarding how to keep their husbands faithful .

babb ' s marketing strategy centered on overwhelming small towns with advertisements and letters , in an attempt to create a controversial atmosphere . in keeping with his motto of " you gotta tell ' em to sell ' em , "

anxious to go out on his own , babb got 20 investors to put up the money to make mom and dad . the script was written by mildred horn , who would later become his wife , and who would also write

lewis was so good at advertising that he was called on by other fledgling chicago filmmakers to help spruce up their ad campaigns , as well as to make their films more sellable . now , when you put a print of multiple maniacs in your trunk , and headed for santa barbara to screen the film , were you influenced at all by any of lewis ' s ads when you prepared your fliers , posters , and pitches ? or if not lewis , then any of early exploitation roadshow men like kroger babb or the forty thieves ?

television eroded and eventually killed the film exploitation business but not before babb was able to make additional contributions to american hucksterism with epics like the prince of peace ( 1949 ) , one too many ( 1950 ) , why men leave home ( 1951 ) , she shoulda ' said " no ! " ( 1954 ) , and babb ' s own paean to great literature , kipling ' s women ( 1960 ) , a nudist rendition of the " the ladies . "

babb was an expert at creating a kind of mob psychosis that peaked at the moment the projector started to roll . watching the film today , it ' s all but impossible to recreate the atmosphere of a capacity audience waiting breathlessly to see things they knew were forbidden and probably shocking . it was babb ' s peculiar genius that he was able to evoke the emotions of a horror movie using what is actually one of the blandest , most formulaic stories ever concocted .

also , many of those basketball games could come on the same day if babb was fortunate enough to officiate a county’s post - season tournament . in some cases , five or more games were played in a day at a single location .

this combination of outraged decency and lusty curiosity led to startling crowd scenes for " mom and dad , " scenes which babb cannily photographed and used to stimulate further throngs . and while riots were not exactly commonplace , things did tend to happen .

it started one night in 1943 when babb attended a town meeting in tiny burkburnett , tex . , called because local high school girls were being impregnated in large numbers by men from a nearby army air corps base . " it was a hell of a meeting , you had all these old biddies squabbling and roasting everybody , they wanted to declare the whole air corps off limits , " babb remembers . " then the idea hit me , that would make a hell of a movie . "

he called himself " america ' s fearless young showman " and he wasn ' t kidding . a positive thinking supersalesman , he made dozens of millions of dollars promoting some of the worst films imaginable into box - office champions . the legion of decency regularly condemned his work , but crowds literally rioted if they couldn ' t get in . he was a classic figure in america ' s cultural netherwould , but today he is just about unknown . the name is kroger babb , and when it ' s mentioned to the chosen few who knew him , they just smile .

kroger would have separate screenings for men and women and bring in sex experts to discuss intimate issues in a question and answer session . then he would sell pamphlets to the audience . i have some of those , but they are lengthy and scanning them will take some extra effort . so , those are for a future day .

showmanship was babb ' s middle name and to make sure everyone knew , it took to calling himself " mr . pihsnamwohs " ( hold it up to a mirror ) . he even emblazoned the side of his rickety corporate airplane with the moniker .

in 1955 , babb set westmore up with his own television series . originally called hollywood today , but also called hollywood backstage and the ern westmore show , the ern westmore hollywood glamour show was a program featuring make - up tips and beauty suggestions .

while the story of his early - ’60s trash fests is a good one , you won’t find it here . a youth in babylon mostly concerns friedman’s apprenticeship with such masters of sleaze as kroger babb and irwin joseph , fast - talking hustlers who toured such cheapies as mom and dad ( a ”sex - ed” film with a reel slapped on the end showing a baby being born ) and reefer madness from town to town throughout the ’40s and ’50s . some of the anecdotes are wonderful ( especially the ones about babb , a minor - league barnum who deserves his own bio ) . but friedman , a carny barker at heart , seems too taken with his own pitch . he writes in the style of a circus poster , all alliteration and gaudy type , and it has the effect of making everything he says sound like a come - on .

somehow aip ' s salty sam arkoff eluded jones ' camera , but he rounded up for interviews mamie van doren , tab hunter , director peter bogdanovich , critic roger ebert , historian neal gabler , babb ' s widow mildred , the colorful david friedman ( who worked for babb and whose film career has encompassed both a stint in paramount distribution and the formative years of the adult film industry ) and writer - director john waters , a castle admirer who from time to time has kept the spirit of ballyhoo alive .

an outrageous producer and promoter of cheesy films , kroger babb was a direct throwback to the old west snake oil salesmen and adhered to p . t . barnum ' s credo about a sucker being born every minute . starting his professional life as a sportswriter , he went to work at warner brothers in 1934 to promote attendance at their theater chains . among babb ' s depression - era ballyhoo was a man buried alive and such attractions as the give - aways grocery night and dish night . babb also distributed the cheapie film " dust to dust " ( 1943 ) , actually the re - titled 1935 " high school girl " with childbirth footage added for " educational value " , taking it from town to town and advertising that nurses would be in attendance at the theater . in 1944 , he raised the money to shoot his tour de force , " mom and dad " ( which , amazingly , did not reach new york until 1957 ) . shot by former heavyweight helmer william beaudine for $ 62 , 000 in one week and starring has - been juvenile hardie albright , " mom and dad " was a blood - and - thunder unwed mother warning , spiced up with that same stock childbirth footage . babb sent out some 300 road shows of the film , peddling booklets between shows , courting local ire and earning a small fortune . " mom . . .

after retitling the film " the prince of peace " and creating an ad campaign with lines like " be brave bring your troubles and your family to history ' s most sublime event " and " you ' ll find god - right in there . babb ended up with a movie that had crowds ilined up even in sinful new york , where the daily news bannered its success as " the miracle of broadway . " " we killed ' em . " babb says with satisfaction . " the thing took off like a turpentined pup . "

undaunted , babb made the film for his own hygenic productions company for a bargain - basement $ 62 , 000 invested by 20 individuals . each investor , babb claims , made back $ 63 , 000 for each thousand put in , except for one fellow who pulled out before the film was made and ended up a suicide . such was the power of " mom and dad . " its international grosses have been estimated at anywhere from $ 40 to $ 100 million , and even time magazine claimed in 1949 that one out of 10 people in the world had seen it .

that picture , you couldn ' t giveit away , but i said " nothing ' s hopeless if it ' s advertised right , ' " babb remembers now . " i told them to give me a bottle of gin and let me see what i could come up with overnight . "

there was one film that babb regretted not finishing . father bingo never went beyond the concept stage . it was going to be an " expose " of church hall games of chance and a corrupt parish priest who manipulates the outcomes . babb allegedly boasted that this film would end up being " the best snow job of my life . " john waters still waxes poetic about father bingo and , like myself , deeply laments its unfinished passage into cinema oblivion . given the many controversies surrounding the catholic church it might have stood as a fitting nostradamus - style tribute to the memory of a great film producer .

“she shoulda said ‘no’ ! ” is a 1949 exploitation film in the spirit of morality tales such as the 1936 films reefer madness and marihuana . directed by sam newfield ( listed as sherman scott ) and starring lila leeds , it was inspired by the 1948 arrest of movie stars robert mitchum and leeds for marijuana possession . the actors , along with two others , were arrested after smoking marijuana at leeds’ home and were charged with the felony of narcotics possession . public empathy for mitchum resulted in his charge being downgraded , and his sentence of sixty days in jail was set aside in 1951 . leeds served sixty days in prison , and after her release found no work in hollywood until she was cast in this film . the film was issued under many titles and struggled to find a distributor until film presenter kroger babb reissued it as the story of lila leeds and her exposé of the marijuana racket . it failed to achieve success under that title , and babb eventually changed it to “she shoulda said ‘no’ ! ”

understanding babb ' s accomplishments involves unearthing one of the most fascinating and least remembered of film eras , the heyday of the traveling exploitation show . in the 1920s , ' 30s and into the ' 40s a group of men calling themselves " the 40 thieves " canvassed the american heartland , showing up in small towns with a film of a theoretically risque or sex educational nature , personally showing it for a night or two , and leaving with profits in hand . it was to be babb ' s triumph to perfect this genre by producing and distributing the film the sun never set on , " mom and dad . "

the most successful classic exploitation film toured with the most ludicrous morality gimmicks . masquerading as sex education , mom and dad ( 1945 ) , about a young girl ' s unwanted pregnancy showed gory close - ups of venereal disease and live births . its director , kroger babb ( 1906 - 1980 ) , a born huckster with a carnival background , ordered separate showings for men and women , required them to sing ' the star spangled banner ' before each performance , treated them to a lecture during the interval by elliot forbes , a ' professor ' of sex hygiene , and sold them copies of forbes ' book the secrets of sensible sex . the film played for 23 years , provoked more than 400 court cases - and grossed more than $ 100 million .

babb spun this as a morality tale with a message ; after all if joan had been allowed access to sober well - written sex education manuals she wouldn ' t have found herself with a bun in the oven and no prospects for a decent life . to make sure that all those paying good money to see the film got the message , babb employed a " fearless sex commentator " by the name of elliot forbes to deliver an earnest facts - of - life spiel during intermission . at the close of the lecture , not missing a beat , a gaggle of hygienic employees fanned out through the aisles hawking genuine sex manuals for a buck apiece . the manuals were actually penned by mom and dad ' s screenwriter , mildred horn ( later to become babb ' s wife and partner in crime ) . the second part of the show would then unspool and it was a real grabber : graphic educational representations of a penis - in - vagina followed by footage of a live birth ( babb had gotten the film from the u . s . army ' s medical corps ) . if the attendees were male ( the film was shown to gender segregated audiences ) real penises in various states of venereal decay were on graphic display ; after all , a lack of sex knowledge can also wreak havoc on the crown jewels .

" the first time we played there , the priests from the various parishes came down early that morning and put themselves in a chain by locking arms , they put a complete chain around the front of the theater and no one could get through , it was like a football line , " babb says , still sort of amused .

attached is an advertisement for one of his films , “the prince of peace” . this rare surviving page is on an 11″x 17″ page that could be folded in half and mailed to the theater in advance of his arrival . they would typically bring hundreds of these and staple them up all over town to drum up attendance . the item could also be handed out on the street . during the intermission kroger would sell bibles and other spiritual literature .

babb never had as big a hit , though not for lack of trying . in 1948 , he produced the religious epic " the prince of peace / the lawton story " ( which finally hit new york in 1951 ) . the film was part docudrama about an oklahoma passion play , and was bookended with trailers for babb ' s upcoming epics " the best is yet to come " ( " all there is to know about cancer ! " ) and " one too many " ( " the screen ' s only true story of alcoholism ! " ) . the latter featured ruth warrick , victor killian and lyle talbot in a slick but campy look at the ill effects of booze .

" as a result , we are now expecting to drive at least $ 270 million in additional pre - tax income for full - year 2018 , " babb said in a statement . " these actions , which we have already begun to execute with urgency , take us a long way towards achieving a double - digit return on equity . "

howard w . babb had gotten the nickname " kroger " from the name of the grocery store where he worked as a boy growing up in lees creek , ohio . born in 1906 , he was a sportswriter , a newspaper reporter , an ad manager , and , by his late 20s , publicity manager for the chakeres - warners theater chain , where he distinguished himself with publicity stunts such as having a man buried alive in front of a theater . he got the exploitation roadshow bug when he hooked up with an outfit called cox and underwood , which was peddling an aging sex hygiene film called dust to dust that was actually a 1935 film called high school girl with a live - birth reel slapped onto the end . proving that he was born to be in the business , it ' s the same plot babb would use in mom and dad . ( the forty thieves frequently quarreled over territories , but they never sued for copyright infringement . of course , many of them were carnival men , who regarded all cons as ancient and passed down from generation to generation , but they may also have simply sold stories the same way they occasionally sold sideshow acts . )

in today ' s carefree , enlightened times , when films like mom " and dad " could probably be shown on television - " oh , it ' d be nothing , very tame , it ' d be a sunday school picture , " babb himself says - it is hard to imagine what a fuss its showing stirred up in the late 1940s .

in some ways , this is my favorite page of the book , despite relatively sedate graphics . the two messages from babb are direct challenges to exhibitors , confrontational and dismissive . so the movies aren ' t fresh first release material ? if people haven ' t seen ' em , they ' re new enough . the implication of the box at the bottom is that babb is handing you , the drive - in or grindhouse proprietor a perfect , can ' t - fail recipe , and if you blow it it ' s your own damn fault . to a theater owner , this is a more effective affront than asking if he ' s a real man ! what kind of showman are you ? can you handle

babb was involved in the production and marketing of many films and television shows , promoting each according to his favorite marketing motto : " you gotta tell ' em to sell ' em . " [ 2 ] his films ranged from sex education–style dramas to " documentaries " on foreign cultures , intended to titillate audiences rather than to educate them , maximizing profits via marketing gimmicks .

, directed by ol ' one - shot himself , william beaudine , is babb ' s masterpiece of ballyhoo . promising the audience that " you . . . will see the birth of a baby ! both normal and cesarean ! , " the ad campaigns do not exactly lie . but they also imply frank sexuality , uncompromising depiction of clinical science and to enlighten through education . the
