C^TOOGES have to watch their steps with comics. Not so long ago Teddy Bergman got to ad-libbing in a scene with Jack Pearl and the latter became confused and lost his place in the script. It happened a second time and Peter Pfeiffer did some ad-libbing himself. "Tomorrow you are going to be fired," he told Bergman. And the next day Bergman was notified he had been written out of the continuity.
Shortly afterwards a similar purging took place on the Joe Cook Silvertown Circus hour. Everett Sloane, the "Mr. Buttersnips" of that program, contributed a loud and funny laugh which almost stole the show. This was disconcerting to the featured actors and nobody, least of all Sloane, was surprised when a line in the script in
a subsequent broadcast advised him he was going to be fired from his circus job. He passed out of the picture with the very next program.

He acquired the "Belasco" when Morton Downey suggested it years ago as a magic name in the American theatrical scheme of things . . . All right, you say, but who did Leon marry? His bride is Julia Bruner, stage actress last seen on Broadway in "Dinner At Eight." If your memory is good, you'll recall that this department several weeks ago told you they were altar-bound.
