Win o7V Comedy Contest
By Harry Macarthur

rostrum by Bud Abbott and Lou
Costello.
These two, surrounded by en-
tertainers who if not their bet
ters are at least a shade more re-
fined, gave the Comedy Hour
it's liveliest comedy moments.
They did it in spite of some dia-
logue ("Did you ever go to
school, stupid?" Eyes, and came
out the same way.") which must
have originated with the COM
media deli arte. Their entry
in the competition was a skit
in which Costello, helping Alb
bott reduce. got garbled instruc-
tions from the radio and painted
his partner green and black. 1t
does not appear too promising
in print but its slapStick was
lively physical comedy.

Students of television comedy
were afforded a rare opportunity
Sunday evening. Eight of the
leading funsters in the field pa
raded across the viewing tube
within the space of an hour and
a half. Jack Benny, back before
the cameras on CBS-TV at 1880,
was followed Immediately by
celebration of the Tooth Com

A hundred of anything still is
regarded as fit for the aWed ap-
proach in show business and the
Comedy Hour" centenary was
no exception. Proper and fire.
quent obeisance was rendered
the products which have made
all this possible and seven of the
headline entertainers now in the
programs rotating stable were
put on display.
The problems solved in put
ting this show before its audi
ence must have been all but in
Surmountable. The billing prob
lem alone was solved by resort
ing to the alphabet beforehand
and order of f-appearance on the
show itself. The centennial per-
formance would feature, it was
announced, Abbott and Costello.
Eddie Cantor. Bob Hope. Martin
and Lewis and Donald O'Connor.
Then, Bob Hope, Eddie Cantor.
Abbott and Costello, Donald
O'Connor and Martin and Lewis
appeared on the show.
This final order must have
been the result of countless con-
ferences. arguments and bar
gaining sessions. With five next
to-closing acts and no jugglers
you are likely to have trouble
with the talent. Talking Martin
and Lewis into taking over the
closing spot may have been easy.
They undoubtedly are confident
that they can follow all of the
other acts in the world. But it
must have taken some oratory
to get Bob Hope into the trained
seal spot to open the proceed
ings.
There was more awe over the
survival for 100 performances
than genuine comedy displayed
on the festive occasion, despite
the amount of talent available.
It was an interesting display Of
comedy styles, though.
Hope started things off by
strolling on stage with his Oscar,
in direct challenge to anyone
who says this sort of display is
frowned on. After establishing
himself as a darling Of the
Motion Picture Academy, he
launched into a typical Hope
monologue-jokes about the
Academy awards, jokes about
Harry L. Crosby and jokes for
gotten as they were uttered.
Then he introduced Mr.. Cantor.
Cantor, a rugged sentimental
list if there ever was one,
entered into some typical Cantor
sentimentality. Dressed as Make
the Taxi he visited the Lincoln
Memorial and fell into conversa-
ton with Abraham Lincoln'S
statute, then did a quick change
and sang some Irving Berlin
songs. He was followed to the

multuous welcome 31a months
after the Air Force spirited him
to Korea to face a military mur-
der charge.
Neighbors and friends staged
a block party on the street in
front of his home. Kids blew UP
balloons. Men hung lanterns all
along the street. Women diShed
out potato salad, ice cream and
sandwiches. And every one danced
to the tunes of some Irish f1ddlers
and a three-piece band.

Less than II hours before, the

However, Judge Holtzof stayed
Toth's full release, pending an
appeal by the Air Force. The
judge turned down a Govern
ment request that 10th be left
in Air Force custody and placed
him under jurisdiction Of the
United States marshal.
Judge Holtzof did not rule on
the constitutionality of the new
Uniform Code of Military JUS
tice under which 10th was taken
in custody. The code provides
that eX-Servicemen may be ar
rested for military trial if the
offense is punishable by five or
more years in prison and if no
civilian court has jurisdiction.
10th was one of three men
charged with numbering a South
Korean in 1852. The others, both
still in service, were convicted
and given life sentences. They
are Airman 1/c Thomas l..
Kinder, 81, of Cleveland, Tenn,
and 1t. George c. Schneider, 25,

Harry Cloud, leader of the local

he has also done in previous years.
In instructing this class, he show
ed the young Alters how to make

class in miniature gardens. For
this, members gathered moss,
grass, stones, and other materials
to make their gardens. After ex-
perimenting with several different
arrangements, the class members
had developed a remembrance of
camp which they could take home
with them.
