A lucky boy is young Tony Bill. He was signed to play Frank Sinatra’s brother in “Come Blow Your Horn.” Tony had no experience outside of college drama classes, and looks a great deal like Frankie, Jr. Young Frank would like to be in show business, but he listened to his parents and went back to Arizona University to finish his schooling.

Trouble is, Vince’s real girl, Sherry Nelson, gets upset. Vince told me he’ll do no more comedy guest appearances. From now on he’ll stick to the dedicated doctor image.
