broke his new $21.00 rod and

flares since in his recent fishing
experience he was unable to
light his lantern for the lack of
them.
Dept. D, End shift, gives loud
cheer to good ole Walter Austin,
who recently celebrated his 30th

PROFILE

Mary Livingstone, who for Fl
years has also been Mrs. Jack
Benny, was recently selected by
the Fashion Academy as one Of
the best dressed women ir
America.
Numbering among her friends
some of the biggest stars ano
dressed women in Holly.
wood, Mary has always been
somewhat of an authority on
what to wear and when to
wear it.
Although she had no connec-
ton with show business before
she married the walking Man. .
Mary quickly caught on and
soon she was recognized as a
girl with a perfect sense OF
comedy. Whenever her husband
is worried about a joke, he al
ways relies on Mary's opinion,
and she is invariably right.
Mary turned down a promis-
ing screen career to devote her
self to being just Mrs. Jack
Benny, and although she has
had numerous offers to do
other things besides her appear
ance on the Jack Benny pro-
gram, she feels that very few
women can work and run a
home at the same time. She
prefers the Mrs. Jack Benny
name and gets as much of a
thrill from Jacks success as he
does.
Mary is noted in Hollywood
for her wonderful sense of hui
NOR and many of the top COM
edians have been known to
quote her retorts. Her sense OF
humor was sharp even when she
first married Jack Benny. Jack
recalls that right after their
marriage, the Friars in New
York gave big stag dinner IN
his honor. 1t was the first time
he was a guest of honor and felt
very important at the great men
eulogizing him. In the midst OF
the speeches, a telegram from
Mary was read. 1t said, when
you come home tonight, be sure
to take out the garbage"
That's Mary Livingstone.
