Kroger Babb
An outrageous producer and promoter of cheesy films, Kroger Babb was a direct throwback to the Old West snake oil salesmen and adhered to P.T. Barnum's credo about a sucker being born every minute. Starting his professional life as a sportswriter, he went to work at Warner Brothers in 1934 to promote attendance at their theater chains. Among Babb's Depression-era ballyhoo was a man buried alive and such attractions as the give-aways Grocery Night and Dish Night.
