Lest We Forget
MGM hosts a salute to Will Rogers (1875-1935) shortly after his death. After a few words from Gary Cooper and Harry Carey, a look at Rogers' fatal trip with Wiley Post, clips from Rogers' movies, a proclamation from Oklahoma's governor, and a cowboy ballad sung at sunset, Robert Taylor asks the studio audience to contribute to the Saranac Lake Hospital, endowed by Rogers, where those in the entertainment industry could go for treatment. The screen goes black while ushers collect donations.
