PRODUCTION of the song hit,
Thanks for the Memory" in
his first film, was the talk of
show business. His ensuing rise
ITO popularity was one of the
FASTEST on record.
Bob, who is currently star
ring in his twenty-fifth Para
mount picture, the Technicolor
comedy, "The Paleface," is a
Christmas treat at the Princess
Theatre, recalled that during
his first few days in "The Big
Broadcast" it was necessary to
cage him in box of two-by-
fours to keep him still long
enough for head close-ups. He
just couldn't get used to work
ing on anything less than an 300
foot theatre stage.
Hopes road to the top rung
was not an easy one. He came
up the hard way, starting with
a dancing act on Cleveland
show with Fatty Arbuckle, on
through blackface, scenery pack
ing, suartette singing and vir-
tually every known phase of the
tough vaudeville grind. He fl
nally hit the top and then gradu-
ated into New York stage sue
cesses. Then he was signed by
Paramount and started a new
phase of his career, which ul-
timately ledhim to the top spot
of all in the entertainment
world.
Bob, who is co-starred with
Jane Russell in 1.-THE Paleface,
conquers a brand new field in
films by invading the West for
the first time. He portrays a
tinid, travelling dentist who gets
involved with two-gun Calamity
Jane and accidentally winds up
hero. During the course of his
wooing of Jane, Bob sings the
sensational hit tune, Buttons
