Edna and Sylvia ought to get to-
gether some day.
Edna, recently divorced from Red
Shelton, writes all his jokes.
Sylvia, recently married to Danny
Kaye, writes all his routines.
It's the first time in Hollywood
history that two comedians have
kept their alter egos in the family.
Says Sylvia: Il never show Danny
n number until it's finished and
then if he laughs I throw it away.
If he doesn't like it. I'm pretty sure
we've got something"
Says Edna: IF l give Red 200
jokes and he likes three of them,
I'm happy"
Red Shelton and Danny Kaye,
you see, are very difficult gents.
Even with their wives
Danny and Sylvia Kaye are Holly
woods latest importations from
Broadway where Danny's name
suddenly landed in bright lights
after 10 years of playing every tank
town in America and beating his
brains out all over the world.
CHANGE OF LUCK
One day he was an obscure night
club entertainer. Next day he was
a. hit in Lady in the Dark" and
then in Lets Face It." Paramount
bought the show, Let's Face It
for Bob Hope. Samuel GoldWyn
bought the star, Danny KAYE. for
his next filmusical, up in Arms
Unlike Red Shelton, Danny Kaye
doesn't tell jokes. He's mugger-
a satirist of ballet dancing, concert
singing, schools of acting and of a
French dressmaker, "Anatol of
Paris" He's singer and a dancer
and a personality kid.

Hirohito, and the latest con-

the story is to continue in the
children their innate love of fair
les and fantasy and to make them
acquainted with the realism of our
present world.
Briefly the story of "The Lost
Gem" is this: Some children go into
the woods to look for Christmas
trees and encounter Christmas
Fairy and her Star Children who
have lost precious gem. The chill
dren agree to help find it. Repre-
sentatives of the Conquered Nations
agree to help look also, when Hitler.
Hirohito, and their War Demons
come in and enslave them. Repre-
sentatives of the United Nations
rally around the Spirit of Freedom
in the person of verse choir leader
and drive Hitler and his War DEM
