Radio-TV mirror (July-Dec 1954)

'Just one I'll be seeing you later on at La Vie." At eleven, she got out of her taxi in front of La Vie en Rose, on 54th between Lexington and Park Avenues, and with some slight difficulty wangled her way past a few guards and some policemen. Once inside, she stood for only a moment before Eddie came running up the steps and claimed her. "Say," he said quietly, "let's get a corner 'table and talk a little." They thought they were alone. They'd talked for all of two minutes when the rest of the crowd claimed them and the photographers moved in on them. "Up here, Eddie," they said. "J more, Eddie." He turned to her with a shrug. Hope grinned. "It's all right," she said. Later, they had a little time at that corner table again. There were interruptions, of course. For autographs. For more photographs. Table-hopping while Eddie greeted the people. And time out for a little eating, too — a delicious buffet which had been trucked down from Grossinger's resort in the Catskills. Hope kept the same gracious smile on her pretty face, throughout, and they did get a few dances together. But, inevitably, Eddie was called away, time after time. Hope was sitting at another table, talking with a producer she'd known for almost a year, when Eddie came racing back to her. "I got lost," he exclaimed, "and I couldn't find you. Come on, they're holding the show for us!" "Right behind you," she said cheerfully. At two in the morning, as an enthusiastic audienee screamed for more, an announcer stepped out to tell them that the show had really just begun. Presents would be given to members of the Coke Time crew . . . and there was Eddie, still shining and smiling, bounding up on the stage to help. Your reporter chose this moment to leave. On the way out, he saw Hope in a phone booth, patiently dialing away. "Calling your mother? It is pretty late." She looked up and smiled. "Just to let her know where I am." A moment later she stepped out of the booth, and together we went to the entrance of the big room and watched as the presents were being handed out. Eddie was as busy as anyone else. Hope shook her head. "I don't see where he gets the energy, day after day," she said. "The poor guy — is success worth it? I'd feel sorry for him, except that I know he loves it." "Think you and he will go on some place for a late snack after this?" "Oh — it's so late, I don't think so. I'll have to be getting home pretty soon." "It wasn't much of a date for you, after all," I said. "What there was, though, was fun," she said. "And the hectic part — well, that's show business. It isn't Eddie's fault. He's just stuck with this big thing that's happened to him. He's one of the sweetest boys I've ever met — and someday I hope we have a couple of minutes together so I can tell him so." "That doesn't sound like you expect to have many more dates with him." "He moves around a lot," she said. "And after all — I met an awfully nice guy at a party a week ago. He's a doctor, a resident doctor at one of the big hospitals here in town. Of course, he's on duty twenty-four hours a day, but do you know what? He very often has time to spend several hours with me." She smiled. Then she looked again at Eddie. "I'd better be getting back." We said good night, and she went on into the big room again, and I made for home, to dream of what it would be like to be as lucky as Eddie Fisher, enjoying one of those Big Years.
