j.. If any of you have been wonder
ing why Bob Hope keeps Jerry
Oolonna on his program, it's because
Jerry has tremendous appeal for
children.
Although Jerry's adult followers
are loud and enthusiastic, they are
relatively few. Saying you actually
enjoy Colonna is like saying you
enjoy Calypso music. Unless you're
among friends you don't say it. But
Jerrys attraction for children Is
almost universal. Most of his auto
graph fans are toddlers, and Jerry
admits it. The kiddies just love
Colonna's loud, brassy voice, ano
they adore screaming fire engines
too.
Colonna has finally decided te
capitalize on this untouted trait
He's making an album of records II
which he takes a bunch OF animals
to the ZOO to gawk at the people.
But parents probably will hate
me for this" says Jerry. "The
