lords ever since the system was
started. Maybe it's because I know
what goes on backstage."
Now I'll tell you what goes on
backstage-or rather off stage-with
Mr.. Benny. Jack is now starting
his 18th consecutive year in radio
-l2 of them at the same time ton
Sunday. But he is still nervous
before each show.
You'd never guess it," says Jack.
People who see me just before I
go on stage say haven't a nerve
in my body But stage fright is
one of the reasons why I want to
get out of the business in few
years. Nearly every one feels the
same-except Ingrid Bergman and
Barbara Stanwyck; they're always
completely calm. before d show"
Jack doesn't believe even Crosby is
as calm as he seems to be before
show. Yet I'd take bets that he is.
Travel His Hobby.
ask Jack what has happened to
his plan to star in his movie auto
biography, Always Leave En-
Laughing" "The script wasn't too
hot" says Benny, who shudders
when you mention his last movie,
The Horn Blows at Midnight. ."
I've no desire to make another
picture unless it's worth giving up
golf for"
Jack plays golf seven days week,
but says he is not in the same class
as Hope and Crosby. But, next to
travelling, it's his faVorite outdoor
sport. Jack has just returned from
a three-month tour OF the United
States. Mary Livingstone) didn't
go with me-she hates to travel
and she hates to hear me talk
about it. I usually come home every
day with a handful of pamphlets.
I'm always ready to go somewhere. ;"
The Bennys are going to adopt
another child. They already have
13-year-old Joannie. 1--WE should
have done it years ago." Jack tells
me. 1--WE have a big house, and
now, with Joan away in boarding
school. it's very lonely for us" The
lucky baby probably will be Euro

Future for Dennis.
We get to talking of the radio
comics of tomorrow. I've heard a
lot of moaning about where are
they to come from Even MI.
Benny doesn't know. There's no
way of training future comedians
today" he tells me. In the old
days there was vaudeville - you
travelled all over the country, did
five shows a day, and when you hit
the spotlight you knew your job.
Today kids have to make good their
first time out"

Jacks favorite comedy show on

cause Of the great, great writing
job; it's like a play" Jack prefers
the story-line radio show to the
gag show, such as Bob Hopes. But
one of the reasons Bob has such
big following is because people
don't have to stay glued with their
ears to the radio or they lose the
plot. They can listen for awhile,
then talk, then listen again. But
then, again, some people like to
listen all the time and follow the
story line"
When his radio days are over,
Jack says. he'd like to do play on
Broadway. II was going to do stock

Jack would have played the part
made famous in the movie by Pat

for the arteries" he assures me with
a straight face.
