The Musicians and the Ac-
tors Unions ire trying to de-
eide whether Jack Benny is a
musician or an actor. Benny
carries a violin in his act, and
occasionally scratches out a
few discords. There is no con-
fusing this with the fiddling of
Kreisler but there's no
installing the fact that the
thing he tucks under his chins
was originally designed as a
musical instrument. Of course
if a man carries a monkey
wrench in his hand it doesn't
necessarily make him a me-
chanic or a monkey. Our
guess is that nobody tunes in
on Jack Benny just to hear him
play his violin. Unless it's his
mother.
