. . . (played by sixth-billed Dot Peterson), disgruntled because her lazy slob farmer husband George eats all the family pie, already has saddled her with five kids and now has deposited a sixth bun to bake in her easy oven. Filming discretely to avoid the scissors of an incipient Roman censorship cult, the eponymous Warner Bros. Use AS THE EARTH TURNS to warn our USA Homeland of a time when a lady's right to choice will be threatened by a High Court sects cultist majority. Another tot to tend surely will be the millstone that breaks the camel's back, as far as put-upon dromedary Millie is concerned. As she confides to her niece Jenny, hers will be a totally lost cause without the availability of on-demand doctor services. Viewers will agree that Shirley Temple and at least three of her youngest siblings are likely to be soon drowned in the family washtub by Millie if this beleaguered mom is forced to suffer through yet another post-partum depression.
