When appearing in his current play "Straight Thru the Door" recently in Lansing, Mich., where Oldsmobile Sixes and the new V-type eight Vikings are made, he took time to visit these factories. He was particularly interested in the new Viking and praised it at an auto mobile which represented individuality as well as quality. Mr. Hodge is seen above with one of the new Vikings he admired.
