Burny Zawodny NOR as Mark
Twain's masterpiece to get Bing
into armor, if only temporarily.
The way Crosby loves his COM
fort, climbing in and out of hard
ware suits would have to pay
off in plenty of laughs before he
would be willing to subject him
self to it. According to all re-
ports, the armor incident is only
one of the many of riotously fun
ny things that happen to Bing
when he is thrown from his 1910
horse and comes to in King Ar
thurs court in the year 528.
The story of the ingenious
Connecticut Yankee who is
knighted Sir Boss because of the
many miracle" stunts he pulls
on the Sixth Century populace
and the reigning King Arthur, is
a natural for Crosby. The role
gives him plenty~of opportunity
for the type of comedy his fans
love and also provides him with
some wonderful musical inter
ludes, especially with his new
and beautiful leading lady, red
haired, green eyed r h o n d a
Fleming. Rhonda, who is not
only gorgeous to look at, also
sings and dances. She does one
song alone-"When Is Some
timer"
Other new songs are "If You
Stub Your Toe on the Moon"
"Busy Doing Nothing" and
"Once and for Always" all by
Burke and Van Heusen.
