Hollywood (1942)

At the close of the sketches, Red presented a special skit on how to undress and bathe a baby! With the aid of a baby doll and a miniature bathtub, Red proceeded with his lecture. He did everything contrary to the accepted rule: such as declaring that the mother should never hold the baby gently in her arms and undress it, instead she should hold the baby by the heels and peel it like a banana. When the boys stopped laughing, they crowded around Red to get autographed pictures. At their special request, he has had some small ones made so that the boys can carry them in their wallets. In the meanwhile, Edna was busy making arrangements with the Commanding Officer for twelve of the boys to attend Red's next radio broadcast. Ever since Red started on his new program, it has been a weekly ritual to have a few soldiers attend. Red sends to camp for them, and after the broadcast he takes them out to dinner. And as a kind of high-spot in the whole affair, Red takes them back to camp himself, letting one of the boys drive his beautiful new Packard. When we were finally ready to leave the camp, Red was exhausted. Yet the next thing that happened utterly amazed me. We came to the guard again, and he said: "Hey! Red! You must have given a swell show tonight. I could hear them laughing all the way down here. Wish I could have seen it." "That's right," Red said with a grin, "you had to stay out here on guard, didn't you?" Then he proceeded to tell the soldier jokes for the next half hour! And all this time there was never a thought of Red Skelton, who had been before the cameras since eight A. M., and had worked all the night before on his radio script, and even now had to go over it again before he could hit the hay. But that did not matter. His only concern was for the other fellow. Red is very proud of his success in pictures. It is something for which he has worked very hard and he deserves every bit of it. He also loves his radio work, but if he can make a soldier laugh, then he's happy. |§ September is SALUTE TO OUR HEROES Month at all movie theaters!

From then on, there was a big difference between us!" "We're a trio from now on ! A pair of twins and Pepsodent ! " "No test could have been fairer. But at first I thought maybe I just imagined my teeth were twice as bright. However, when a friend of mine asked me what made my teeth shine so, I was really convinced ! Did I give him a selling on Pepsodent ! The proof is so definite we'd never think of going back to any other brand!"
