Let George Do It (released in the United States as To Hell With Hitler) is a 1940 British black-and-white comedy musical war film directed by Marcel Varnel and starring George Formby. It was produced by Michael Balcon for Ealing Studios and Associated Talking Pictures, and distributed in the UK by ABFD. This was the first Ealing comedy to deal directly with the Second World War.
At the beginning of the Second World War, before Germany invaded Norway, a ukulele player in a British dance band playing at a Bergen hotel, is found dead during a radio broadcast of the band's show. It turns out he was a British agent keeping an eye on the band leader, Mark Mendes (Garry Marsh), who is suspected of being a German agent passing on information about British shipping to German U-boats, using a code concealed in the radio broadcasts.
When Mendes calls a musician's agent in London for a replacement, British Intelligence tries to send another agent in his place. However, through a series of mistakes in a blacked out Dover, ukulele player George Hepplewhite (George Formby), who is on his way to Blackpool, is put on the boat to Bergen instead of the new agent. When he arrives, the receptionist at the hotel, Mary Wilson (Phyllis Calvert), who is another British agent, makes contact but eventually realises the mistake. George, however, is totally unaware and starts working with the band, although Mendes is suspicious of him. Eventually Mary tells George what is going on, and together they manage to find what the code is and alert the British Navy.
George Dobson Valentine (1852–1890) was a Scottish photographer.
The son of James Valentine, he became one of Scotland's leading photographers. Serious ill-health and the need for a warmer climate saw Valentine leave the family business and emigrate to New Zealand with his family in 1884. He continued with his career of photography and produced a significant body of work.
In 1885, he photographed the famous Pink and White Terraces and, after the destruction of the area by the Mount Tarawera eruption in 1886, photographed the area again creating a definitive record of this natural disaster.
He produced many of what were to become the classic iconic images of early New Zealand, including geyser studies in the thermal region and studies of New Zealand bush and waterfalls.
Valentine died in 1890, just six years after his arrival in New Zealand.
His work is represented in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and the Auckland Art Gallery.
John Andrew Hiestand (October 2, 1824 – December 13, 1890) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.
John A. Hiestand was born in East Donegal Township, Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools, an academy in Marietta, Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1849 and commenced practice in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Hiestand was elected as a Whig to the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives in 1852, 1853, and 1856. He purchased an interest in the Lancaster Examiner in 1858 and relinquished the practice of law. He served in the Pennsylvania State Senate in 1860. He was an unsuccessful candidate in 1868 to Congress to fill the unexpired term of Thaddeus Stevens. He was appointed by President Ulysses Grant in 1871 naval officer at the port of Philadelphia. He was reappointed in 1875 and served until 1879.
Hiestand was elected as a Republican to the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1888. He died in Lancaster in 1890 and was interred in Marietta Cemetery, Marietta, Pennsylvania.
Don Kirby Cook (born May 25, 1949 in San Antonio, Texas) is an American record producer and songwriter whose work is mainly in the field of country music. Artists who recorded Cook's material include Barbara Mandrell, John Conlee, Mark Collie, Wade Hayes and Brooks & Dunn. Cook's production work began in the early 1990s when he worked with Brooks & Dunn.
Don Cook began writing songs at age twelve and recorded his first demo at age fourteen. He played at various clubs and coffeehouses in Houston, Texas during his teenage years, and moved to Nashville, Tennessee through the suggestion of a friend. Through the assistance of Don Gant, he signed with Acuff-Rose Music. In the 1980s, Cook had several cuts that were released as singles, including "Lady Lay Down" by John Conlee, which was Cook's first Number One as a songwriter.
Cook co-wrote "Brand New Man", the first single release by Brooks & Dunn, and was asked to produce for the duo as well. At first, he was reluctant, but he was encouraged to keep producing after the commercial success of Brooks & Dunn's debut album. Over time, Cook produced most of Brooks & Dunn's material, including thirteen of their songs which went to Number One. Other artists who released his work as singles include Mark Collie, Wade Hayes, Lari White and Steve Wariner.

Let George Do It was a radio drama series produced by Owen and Pauline Vinson from 1946 to 1954. It starred Bob Bailey as detective-for-hire George Valentine (with Olan Soule stepping into the role in 1954) The few earliest episodes were more sitcom than private eye shows, with a studio audience providing scattered laughter. The program then changed into a suspenseful tough guy private eye series. Valentine's secretary was Claire Brooks, aka Brooksie (Frances Robinson, Virginia Gregg, Lillian Buyeff). As Valentine made his rounds in search of the bad guys, he usually encountered Brooksie's kid brother, Sonny (Eddie Firestone), Lieutenant Riley (Wally Maher) and elevator man Caleb (Joseph Kearns). For the first few shows, Sonny was George's assistant, but he was soon relegated to an occasio...

“The Voice Beneath the Sea” is a color film produced by John Sutherland and presented by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company’s Long Lines Department. Produced in the late 1950s, it details the joint communication venture between Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom and the creation of the first transatlantic telephone cable system. Launched in 1956, the system was designed to link both the United States and Canada to the UK, with facilities for some circuits to be leased to other West European countries.

Birdie Sings Again Welcome to a special Easter theme program on Southbridge Old Time Radio, Southbridge, Massachusetts. I’m Brent Abrahamson. Radio programs during the Golden Age often had traditions that listeners looked forward to with great anticipation. “The Great Gildersleeve’s” yearly Easter program is a good example. Today on Southbridge Old Time Radio, we present one of our favorites. There is much to like about this episode, but we want to focus on actress Lillian Randolph who played Birdie, outlasting even the two Gildersleeves, Harold Peary and Willard Waterman. Lillian Randolph had a long career at a time when African American actresses were inevitably depicted as maids and cooks. Yes, she played those parts, but with a dignity befitting this daughter of a Methodist minister...
The Evolution of George Valentine When George Valentine first became a civilian after World War 2, he shared a common experience with other ex G.I.’s. Getting back into the workforce had lots of competition, and the impatient Valentine had no desire to put things off by, for instance, going to college on the G. I. Bill. Instead, he hit upon an idea. He would place an ad in the newspaper offering his services for any job that’s too tough for someone to handle. “Danger’s my stock in trade,” he declared. Well, he got many strange offers to choose from, and he selected the ones that most interested him. Through trial and error, George Valentine learned how to become a very good detective. Today on Southbridge Old Time Radio, we present a more secure and confident George Valentine from Februa...
