NBC -TV NEWS WALLY (’MR. PEEPERS’) COX’ HILARIOUS CHATTER ABOUT DUFO PRESERVED FOR POSTERITY (AND CURRENT SALE) ON RECORDING Wally Cox, who in less than a year has risen to high popularity as star of MR. PEEPERS on NBC -TV, has cut his first phono¬ graph record. The disc, now on sale, couples "What a Crazy Guy" (Dufo) with "There Is a Tavern in the Town," on both 78 and 45 rpm record speeds, for RCA Victor. "What a Crazy Guy" is a monologue written by Cox, concerning a neighborhood "character" named Dufo, who has a strikingly original personality. Wally has used it with great success in night clubs since the start of his professional career in 1948, and has performed it occasionally on radio and TV. On the reverse side of the record, Wally gives a unique inter¬ pretation of the well-known standard, "There Is a Tavern in the Town," using four voices for an unusual yodeling effect. Accompaniment for this side is provided by an instrumental quartet conducted by Bernie Green, musical director for "Mr. Peepers." o NBC -New York, 4/27/53
