Then, in the Rustic Cabin, he got $20 a week, but during those early, heartbreaking weeks, Sinatra learned about show business. He learned that it wasn't all beer and skittles, that show business could be mean and grimy. Compressed into those early months was a liberal education, the sort of education that troupers of the stage gained in stock companies of the old days. So when Sinatra became a star, he had the background of a performer to shape his judgments, and that background has flavored every decision lie's made since. If he's superstitious at all, Frank believes that his luckiest season is Christmas. It was Christmas, 1939, that Frank was signed by Tommy Dorsey; it was Christmas, 1942, that Frank clicked as a single on the New York Paramount stage; and it was in the Christmas season that Sir Stork arrived for the first time at the Sinatra house. When Nancy was three years old, Sir Stork arrived again, a little after Christmas, Jan. 10, 1944, with Frank, Jr. Sinatra has become a great symbol to the youngsters of America. He's their champ. It is reflected whenever he appears— the kids get a certain look in their eyes. He is Young America, with a bow tie. They get a kick ' out of his success. They exit from theaters in a high mood after seeing his "The House I Live In." So the Ed Sullivan -modern screen silver plaque crystallized all of these things. You don't have much room for writing, on a silver plaque, but when Nancy grows up, and Frank, Jr., is at college, I want them to know that these are the qualities which won that plaque for their Dad. Now for the award to Jack Benny! You have heard before, and probably are bored to death with the radio legend, that Jack Benny made his first radio appearance on a program I was doing for Gerardine. From that first program with me, he vaulted to radio stardom, and let me tell you something: He was a "natural" in any medium of entertainment. Let it be set down for the record that Jack Benny was a terrific money maker in vaudeville and Broadway musical comedy when he determined on a radio career. The verb "determined" is used advisedly. Benny took a holiday from the stage, where he was in the weekly four figure brackets, and told me that he was going to concentrate on radio. "I think my style of comedy will click over the mike," he said, earnestly. Let it also be set down for the record, and to settle all discussion as to whether Jack or his writers have been responsible for his success, that Benny ALWAYS used the same comedy formula. He was always in the role of the patsy, imposed upon by his colleagues, heckled by the other members of the cast. I'm not guessing about this— because on that very first program with me, Jack Benny established himself as a patsy. That was 15 years ago, and I can still hear his opening line: "This is Jack Benny. There will be a ten-second pause while the country says: " 'Who cares?' " It is difficult for me to give you any viewpoint, other than the viewpoint of a friend, about Jack Benny. Through the years, like old wine, Benny improves with age. He is still the same unaffected, genial, loyal guy I knew when we first met. He is still inclined to doze off in his living room chair, in the middle of a party He is still the greatest "audience" any other comic ever has had, and he's taken me to all sorts of queer little dives to listen to some youngster whose work he enjoys. Giving the Ed Sullivanmodern screen silver plaque to Jack Benny was one of the pleasantest jobs ever assigned to me. Mentally, I've been giving him silver plaques ever since I've known him.
