Hope Formal Springs Eternal
BIZ HARRY MACARTHUR

By HARRY MACARTHUR
There Is an old show business adage which
warns that you should not tamper with sue
cess. Another adage often thrown in the teeth
Of critics is that you can't argue with success
(The late Robert Benchley proved this conclu-
sively one time by trying for months-unsuc-
cessfuIly-to drive "Abies Irish Rose" on the
boards)
These things being true, it Is difficult to
argue with Bob Hope that he ought to get
new act or go back to the woods He is undeni-
ably success and his manner Of getting to be
one obviously has been the right one for Hope.
SO, the Hope formal springs eternal.
/ remember FIRST talking with Hope about
teIevision eight or nine years ago. He had his
touring show at Constitution Hall and was steel
ing himself for making the switch from radio
to TV the following season. It seemed only
natural to ask what he would be doing on TV.
"The same thing I'm doing now (on stage
and radiol," he replied what else can do?"
The question was rhetorical or it seemed
so at the time. Rhetorical or no, it hardly
promised that Hope. would open up any new
vistas in television.
He didn't open any. either. He is stand
up comic who thrives on and is uplifted in spirit

shows to be photographed for TV. just as he
allowed them to be broadcast when he was big
man in radio. He always plays to the audience
In the palm Of his hand
This leads to a certain amount of double
talk when you delve into plans for the six shows
Hope will do for NBC-Tv this season. WIZ any
of these, you ask a spokesman for the comic. be
live shows?
do you mean live or live-live'?" he asks
in reply. "What we do is play the show before
live audience, then edit the film later. That's
what Bob calls live show. There are no canned
laughs or anything like that. It's all i've"
It's live, but it's on flm see?

The
Rambler
Rubs Shoulders
At the International
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


On Monday the Rambler
was invited to witness the
Washington, D. c., Interna-
tional at Laurel by his good
friend, John C. Garvin.
So he found himself with
$4,000 others experiencing a
perfect fall afternoon from
grandstand seats just short
of the finish line, trying to
pick winners from a wealth
of printed intelligence which
he found difficult to read, to
say nothing of evaluating.
Why couldn't he realize
that a horse named Mahan,
which he had seen run as a
4-year-old under French
colorS in this race two years
ago and finish 10th, should
improve so much under the
American flag that he was
able to win easily?
And why did so many
Of his friends know this and
bet on Mahan?
The performance of race
horses will probably always
be puzzling.
