He says "prease" for "please" and "Number One fine," for "I'm feeling well." •

"TWO BOYS who just can't be serious" in offering their gags, laughs and songs, have made their debut as a regular feature of Dobbsies' Shell Happytime Period. Rummie and Dummie are their monikers, but Arnold Maguire and Cotton Bond are their real names.
