assistant interview them and get a pretty good idea of the questions and answers that will be on the show. They always eat at a swank restaurant just a half block from CBS at Ed's favorite table. He doesn't eat much. Ed never has been interested in food, and he doesn't even seem to notice what he has on his plate . . . Mary Livingstone Benny really is afraid of live television, but not so much because she doesn't think she can act. She's more afraid of how she looks. The funny part is that she looks wonderful. And she's almost as old as her "thirty-nine-year-old" husband ! . . . No one who saw Peter Lawford on Steve Allen's show last year was at all surprised when he turned out to be one of the hits of the season on Dear Phoebe. Peter may not always have had luck with his parts in MGM movies, but he did a sketch with Steve that proved he was a very talented comedian. Here's betting his movie career starts all over again . . . Frank Sinatra isn't the happy-go-lucky character he seems to be. He is carving out his newlyrejuvenated career very carefully. He is determined to do all sorts of different roles, one after another, and to make variety the spice of his professional life. He wants to play a part in the movie version of Foreign Intrigue, and if Sheldon Reynolds can manage to write one in for him, he will . . . Another girl who can't just get up and sing impromptu in front of a television camera is Dorothy Dandridcje. She must have her own accompanist, special setting, and lots of rehearsal. If not, she just doesn't perform with that impact you see in Carmen Jones . . . You know the favorite television star of lots of Hollywood stars? Dr. Frank Baxter, the erudite scholar on CBS Sunday afternoons. They call him up and write him letters — and even ask for his advice on their acting! And he's just like a kid about it — just as thrilled as you or I would be if the phone rang and a movie star were on the other end . . . It's funny what television cameras do to girls' figures. Pat Marshall, who sings on Tonight on Edye Gorme's days off, looks like an ordinary-sized girl but she could compete with Jane Russell — and maybe win ! . . . Don't believe all those silly rumors that Ed Murrow is going to pack up and go over to NBC. He has no intention of leaving CBS. See It Now and Person To Person will continue at their old stands, and, what's more, Ed will do a show for children. He is one of the most devoted fathers anywhere, and his interest in his son Casey's upbringing makes him a natural for a kids' show. Milton Berle and his wife, Ruth Cosgrove, enjoyed being interviewed by George Jessel. From the Sensational comer's Magazine Story THEY STOLE $2,500,000 AND GOT AWAY WITH IT!'
