TODAY IN GINNY! - Maurice Cass

Lithuanian Maurice Cass (1884) started out in show business as an announcer and comedian in New York. He was a small bespectacled man and that led to him playing professors, doctors, and other characters who possessed absent minded intelligence. Antique dealers and bookstore owners were also well within his range. I know him because he was Professor Newton on ROCKY JONES, SPACE RANGER a kids' TV series from the early 1950s starring Richard Crane and Scotty Beckett that I watched in reruns about twenty years ago. He played the Children's Society Report writer in THE GREAT MAN VOTES (1939).   The photo is of Cass, Sally Mansfield, and Robert Lyden in ROCKY JONES.
