And Virginia Gilmore, who deserted movies for stage plays in New York temporarily, will be rocking a cradle soon . . . Trudy Marshall and her husband, Phil Rafhn, will be ma and pa by tbe time this r reaches you, as will the Richard Cranes . . . And sympathy goes to little Dorothy McGuire and John Swope whose blessed event turned sad. And they wanted the baby so much . . The I Robert Cummings baby is the “spittin’ ( image” of his pa, as any of their pals , will tell you.

He’ll switch sponsors — but he’s not deserting the ether (we can hear the cheers now!) though just what lucky concern will < tie him up is the unknown quantity in our little story. But his “package” show is all set — signed and tied up — between Bing and those who’ll be with him. John Scott Trotter and his band; the CharioI teers; that wonderful croonstress Peggy Lee (her record-breaking record of “Baby, You Were Sooo Right” slayed you — remember?) and “Skitch” Heni, derson, who really massages a piano, round out Der Bingle’s show.
