Bobby’s real name is Walden Robert Cassotto, and be admits what he likes best about his success is being able to buy his folks a home in the country.
‘"What do I like to do?” he repeated when we asked him about his pastimes. “Eat, sing and date! I like my to be hero-sandwiches king-sized. That goes for singing, too. And I like gals who make me feel like a king, but I think this is true of all guys, isn’t it? And if a gal can cook, too — look out ! ”

are you a gopher?
Tommy Sands and I were talking the other day in our New' York Photoplay offices. Outside, the winter winds howled and yowled, and we w'ere in a huddle about our favorite subject: gophers.
What’s a gopher? Well, Tommy and 1 decided a gal’s a gopher if she goes for guys.
“But there are distinctions,” Tommy said. “There are gophers and gophers and gophers.”
He went on to elucidate. “There’s the rah-rah gopher,” he said, taking a deep breath, “who busts out all over when she sees a guy. She’s like a cheerleader, ready to lead off with a locomotive soon as she spots a fellow across the street. The trouble is that the rah-rah gophers are a little too hard to reach. They’re too busy cheering!”
“But w hat about,” says I, “the gophers all guys like best, the one who kind of comes up on you gently like a spring breeze?”
“They’re the greatest,” Tommy said, “the greatest! But then, there’s the shy-away gopher who worries me a little. The shy-away gopher is so faraway that she’s in out-of-this-worldville — and I’m all for bringing her back to earth.”
“But how' do we do it?” says I.
“How about a club,” Tommy suggested, “a special club for all gophers?”
“Not a bad idea,” counters I. “We could have a special membership card w’ith a list of gopherpointers from bachelor stars, guys like Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter and Hugh 0 Brian and Johnny Saxon and Tony Perkins. Gophers would have a secret password, and every month, in these columns, we could send out special Gopher bulletins that only Gophers could decode!”
“Great,” Tommy said, clapping his hands.
Gophers, w'hat do you think? Let’s hear from \ou if vou’re interested.
