Sally Eilers and Norman Foster have the leading parts. Norfleet in addition to having been an able grid player during his campus career, was an enthusiastic student of the drama. His comedy is said to resemble that purveyed by Andy Devine, and it was a toss-up between him and Devine for the part in Walls of Gold, the studio said. The problem was solved by giving Devine a part in Smoky, the Will James Story.

NotableShe founded the Houghton School in Ojai, CA, for special needs children.
BiographyMargaret was a nurse and then in book sales and traveled throughout the US until WW II. Shortly before WW II she moved to Los Angeles CA. During WW II she served as a civilian special agent in domestic intelligence assigned to the US department of Labor. Approximately in 1944 she moved to Ojai Ca where she started the Houghton School. She was one of the first to believe that special needs children could benefit from instruction, speech, physical and other therapy while living in a residential environment. Previously such children were generally warehoused in state institutions or hidden away from society by their families. Some of her students were able to return to their families and communities and able to live with significant independence. She continued as director of the school until shortly before her death.
