whether to have cupid-bow lips, or

HOLLYWOOD
RX ERCKINE JOHNSON

Songwriters Johnny Burke and
Jimmy Van Heusen wrote sCme
extra special verses, just for Bing
and Bob, which, if they heard them,
would drive Will Hays and all the
other film censors to suicide.
DIZZY DUET
But for the camera, the Tack
Up Boy and Bobby Socks con-
tinued to warble the original words:
Your face sang Bing, could
make fortune - just your nose
should make lot"
And Bob responded:
Il like the way you wear those
gaudy colcred shirts you've got
The only time a rainbow ever
covered up a pot
The words were tricky and so
was the scene. While the camera
rolled alongside. on a special
wooden track, the three dogs
pardon us = embarrassed grips -
pulled Bing and Bcb across the
snow covered snow stage. Other
technicians, up in the rafters, oc
casionally sifted corn flakes down
on them.
Il have breakfast here every
morning." Hope said. Bring my
own cream and sugar from home" "
But the snow en- the ground was
real At least as real as Hollywood
could make it, grinding up cakes of
ice in an oversized hamburger
making machine bearing a sign
Snow Service
The man who came with the
snow machine said Paramount had
spent $4,000 just on ice for the
picture.
ADD ANTICS
This time Hope flcked Bing's
ears with his fingers several times
between verses.
Hey" mcaned Bing when the
camera stopped, MY ears are just
about gone"
Hope grinned back That singing
doesn't help my ears, either" Then
they broke up everyone on the set
singing some of those special words
which the censors would net like.
We left 'em Warbling.

Like meat and potatoes,
Or salt and tomatoes,
Boy, what a blend"

"A Woman's Place in Business

With no previous business expe-
rience, Mrs. Odlum in 1884 took
over the New York store which
then was operating at a deficit,
carried it through the depression
and in 1941 it became profitable
enterprise. BY determining the de-
sire sof the customers and seeing
that they got what they wanted,
plus the efficiency and good judg-
ment she had shown as a home
maker, Mrs. Odlum turned loss into
profit.
The chapter had luncheon meet

on Wensley avenue with Mrs Nc
Neece and Mrs. Guy l.. Hatch as

" ERSKINE JOHNSON

The Tack-Up Boy and Bobby
Socks went for sled ride and
sang a duet on a sound stage today
and it was so cold even the camera
and the mike were wearing muf-
flers. But the best words to the
song didn't get on film.
While technicians ground cakes
of ice into snow and three en-
barrassed-lo looking grips doubled for
Alaskan huskies pulling the sled,
the Tack Up Boy and Bobby
Socks-that's what Bing Crosby and
Bcb Hope call each other-warbled
into the shivering mike:
II don't care where I'm going just
as long as I'm with you,
Put it there, pal, put it there"
Then Bing would sing:
"This countrys full CT wolves but
you should make them laugh
ing stocks.
The girls are fond of blubber and
the iglcos have no locks"
And Bob would retort:
you'll WOW the lady Eskimos,
Uney QOn wear DODDy SOCKS.
There were a lot of other lines
all funny-and after each enc Bing
and Bob would shake hands. har-
monizing: Put it there, pal, put
it there"
The musical friendship routine
was for Paramounts latest road
picture The Road to Utopia in
which Bing and Bob get mixed up
with bears and Eskimos and Der
othy Lamour and even Santa Claus
in frozen Alaska.
But if people think the Put 1t
There, Pal' duet is funny, they
should hear a special recording
Hope and Bing made of the song
before the camera started turning.
