Hattie plays Aida, the cook and housekeeper for a small-town widow and newspaper publisher trying to rid the town of corruption in JOHNNY COME LATELY (1943), a turn-of-the-century story starring James Cagney (tasting Aida's pork chops at right) alongside stage star Grace George (as the publisher) and small-town character actress Marjorie Main.
