 It Says Here
BROADCAsTTNG
By BOB HOPE

I'm back broadcasting from the studios in Hollywood now and everyone here is very happy about it-in fact the benches in Grihith Park are applauding (I'm stub born).
 Being on the road all the time was little awkward. By the time I received my salary 1t had all co2ed out.
 But the real reason they want me back at NEG is to warm up the studio for Red Skelton. He fol- lows me you know-and wish he'd stop. I'll pay him when I'm ready.
 My engineer is very happy to be back too. He loves those modern studio control rooms with their complete equipment and ease of operation-if he doesn't like my jokes he can always tune in on another show. But the happiest guy to be back is my sound man. He had SO much junk to carry when he left the studio that he looked like the whole Spike Jones Band. Doing all that travelling he was bound to lose something, and the week we played the San Diego Naval Base he broke his recording of a boat whisle-the show came of all right but Admiral Halsey's Flagship was missing that day.

HOLLYWOOD, April l7--1f you were to fline-comb Hollywood, I doubt that you could find two men so dissatisfied with success as are the screens leading horror expons ents, Bella Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Both of them hate horrifics with deadly hate, and have for many years. Both have tried constantly to escape such roles, and have found escape impossible.
 Before the current horror sycle assumed It's present proportions, they were like men riding a teeter- totter, and there was ironic hu- nor in their plight, First LugoSi would be on top, the recognized ace of shiver-and- -shudder stars. Being on top, and feeling his oats as most screen celebrities do in that posi- ton, he finally would rebel, call the studio bosses attention to the fact that he had been Southeastern GuEOpSS . ASaOhAS kVOiiSO pSAVAS AS turned ghoul in ''Dracula," and re- fuse to accept any more horror roles. Whereupon the studio bosses would summon Karloff, who would then top the horror field until his financial affairs were strengthened out and he, in turn, could afford to rebel. By then, of course, Lugosi, having been idle for Q while, would be in a more amenable frame of mind.
 The present cycle has been a gold mine for both stars, but they are still protesting. Actually, I don't blame them, for both are fine acc tors who deserve Grade-A roles Maybe Hollywood should relent and give them the chances they are pleading for.

Q swank night club, features Miss storm as one of the entertainers, who sings, dances and gets involved in . lot of hilarious situations with Phil Began. One fast dance number that she steps her way through re- quired hours and hours of practice. Weeks before the picture started" Gale coilfesses, T was at the studio rehearsing with Jack Boyle, the dance director" Gale is an accom- plished dancer, but this number re- qulred numerous steps and routines which were new to the lovely act- ress. She had to get every step down to the split second, since a part of this dance takes place on stair way.
 By the time the dance was to be shot for the cameras, Gale had spent l60 hours of rehearsal. She wore out her own pair of dance slippers, and had the wardrobe de- partment in @ dither trying to lo- cale duplicated. An intensely hot spell was @ factor in her loss of ten pounds during those trying weeks. Then, by the time she had complet- ed her dances in the actual picture. Gale had a terrific cold, due to the giant fans which tried to maintain a bearable temperature, on the set.
 Besides her dancing, Miss Storm sings three numbers in Swing Par ade of i946". T was afraid wasn't going to be able to sing "Tt's a Small World" with Phil Began, Gale dis closes. After I got that cold, my throat was as dry and rough as sandpaper." But quarts of hot water and lemon juice came to her rescue.

.Lady.Fan, Aged
 30, "CoOers" !" Come for U 2.

Editors Note: At 90, Mrs. Grace Fairbanks Estes of Cam bridRe ls perhaps basebalps Old- est active woman fan. She saw her first game in 1875 and has been a steady customer ever since. Before the Braves opener with the DOd- gers, yesterday, she was presented a season pass. The following is her account of the game.
 By GRACE FAIRBANKS ESTES ''' written for the United Press .e Boston, April l7--CUP)-The Bos- ton Braves opened the season yes- terday by winning from the Brook. lyn Dodgers five runs to three. It was so cold that many of the 10000 spectators left before the ninth in. ming. But I always like to see the last man out.
 Morton Cooper was supposed to be the Braves pitcher. But l heard he had sore arm again, so John Sain, a handsome young man who throws with his right hand, diu the pitching.
 He did a mighty fine job of 1t, too. My score card shows that he held the 5rooklyns to ten hits and struck out two. always like to keep score card of every game I see. I've been doing 1t now for years.
 I think the stars for the Braves were Cornelius Ryan, the second baseman. and Albert Roberge, the third baseman. Each one struck two doubles. And Cornelius looked very alert in the field besides. Maybe he was cold like the rest of us. I think I felt. the cold more than ordin- ary because I've been laid up with pneumonia. I hope my doctor doesn't read this about the cold weather.
 I was worried about the Braves till the fifth inning. Then the Brooklyn rightfielder muffed a fly ball and Boston took the lead. 1 think I could have caught that fly myself, but I've learned after all these years not to criticize people.
 Billy Vs Ump
 The fifth inning was especially exciting, too, when MT. Southworth he's the Braves new manager-ha an argument with the big umpire on second base. Usually 1t is Mir. Du. rocher of Brooklyn who talks back to the umpires. But l thing Mir Southworth was right when he claimed that one Of the Brooklyns was blocking the base.
 It is hard to say how the Braves will do this year. They may have a very spirited team, The fans who sat near me seemed very pleased with what they saw. But I guess they don't remember when the Braves had a pennant- winner, back in 1914 when the miracle men were playing.
 One thing was very puz2ling to me all through the game. I noticed people standing up and looking al the back of their coats. It was not until I got outside and saw a line in front of the Braves office that I found out what was wrong. Il seems the seats had just been paint. ed green and the paint wasn't quite dry.
 One man told me the spectators were complaining about the wear Ing Of the green--or something, like that.
