Even though they may be rather
loathe to admit it at times, actors
are incurable sentimentaliSts. One
of the best examples In this regard
Is MICS Great Gildersleeve.
Many years ago when Gildy, Earl
Judge Hooker) Ross, Richard
druggist Peavey LeGrand, and
others who now comprise the
comics radio cast were struggling
for recognition In San Francisco
they vowed that in the event one
Of them should reach the ton they
would all stick together. The out
come is past history, but the vow
that was made many years ago has
never been forgotten and so each
year In commemoration one Of the
group throws a party for the rest
Next week it's Gildersleeve's turn
and from the looks Of things
promises to be quite a shindig.
