Around this theme Orson Welles has woven the gripping plot of his initial motion picture offering, RKO Radio's "Citizen Kane," in which he plays the title-role as well as producing and directing the film. The story deals with the life of the fabulous Charles Foster Kane, one friend, and sixty million dollars and couldn't keep any of them. How the young millionaire builds a vast industrial empire on the foundation of a chain of newspapers and seeks to control the destinies of the nation, all makes up the absorbing background of the plot, against which Welles has painted the colorful figure of Kane himself in bold strokes.

It was during the filming of Metro Goldwyn Mayer's "The Feminine Touch," and co-starring Don Ameche and Kay Francis, that Miss Russell was officially notified of the honor. During the making of the picture, Miss Russell heard of the hundreds of English aviators ferrying American-made bombers back to England. She called a friend at March Field, the Army base in Riverside, California, and asked if there wasn't something she could do for these boys who were going to fly these planes back to England. She finally settled upon the idea of entertaining a large group of them at the studio. The flyers were so grateful i for the entertainment provided for them by Miss Russell that they elected the M-G-M star an honorary member of the-Royal Air Force when they returned to England.

She was notified of the honor bestowed upon her by the next group of aviators to arrive on the West Coast.
