Franchot and brother Jerry congratulate their father Dr. Frank J. Tone on receiving the Acheson Award in 1935. The award was named for Edward Goodrich Acheson who invented carborundum (Frank J. was the president of the Carborundum Company). I always feel bad for the people who get x'd out on news photographs. I'm sorry, guy on the right.

The news story above was first written on October 10th. The next day (on which it made it into the Spartanburg Herald Journal) was the day that Franchot and Joan Crawford secretly married!
