LAZY DREAMER

In the North Hollywood, Calf,
iail a few years ago a happy-go-
lucky young entertainer was serving
a 30-day sentence for a traffic
violation. He didn't even have
enough money to pay the bail. He
wasn't worried much, except that
he wanted to get out and get mar
ried. Over at one of the film
studios, the girl he wanted to marry
was called into a producers office.
7 understand you want to get
married. said the producer. Take
my tip, baby, and wait while.
You'll simply jeopardize your career
and we have big things planned for
you. And if you're going to marry
the boy I think you have in mind,
think twice about it. He's never
amounted to anything and he never
will. He's strictly a lazy dreamer"
The girl went out and thought
twice about it-and married the boy
the day he was released from jail.
Little by little, the girl sacrificed
hel career for the sake of her lazv
husband, and finally relinquished it
entirely. The lazy dreamer buckled
down to work and in the course of
the next few years exerted himself
just enough to amass fortune,
and become Hollywood's most cele-
blated singing star. His name -
Bing Crosby - and the girl who
married him despite the pro-
ducer's Warning-DiXie Lee.

by accepting more lucrative work

save an estimated $75,000000 in the
