to Coast an ad-lib basis without pay and, when or if they do, they are fined. Jerry already had been on probation for a previous violation of this rule, so he had to pay an additional $250. Now the comedian has been warned that if he gets carried away again and does his stuff without salary, he will face a lengthy suspension, which of course would cancel his vaudeville and nitery bookings. Rosemary De Camp will play the role of Grace Moore's aunt in the re-make movie, "One Night Of Love," which will be based partly on the life of the late diva. Can you imagine anybody in their right mind turning down $50,000 for a few minutes' work? Well, believe it or not, Greta Garbo did just that when she said no to CBS-TV's offer for her to do a seven-minute dramatic spot on their Omnibus Sunday show. But the network wasn't too surprised, because the great Garbo also refused $25,000 for a guest appearance on This Is Show Business a couple of years ago. What Ever Happened To. . . ? Frank Munn, the popular tenor, who used to sing on the American Album Of Familiar Music program? Munn has retired completely from show business, and he and his wifelive in Florida, where he devotes most of his time to charity work. Alois Havrilla, one of the pioneer announcers in radio and one of the bestknown voices in the movie newsreels? Sad to report that Mr. Havrilla passed away at the age of sixty-one, just before Christmas, in Englewood, New Jersey. At the time of his death he was associated with Station WNJR, in Newark. Ed East, who was a popular personality in the early days of broadcasting with his partner Ralph Dumke — with their Sisters Of The Skillet show — and who, in later years, was the emcee on Meet The Missus? East passed away following a heart attack in New York City, January 18, 1952. He was fifty-six. His widow, Polly, with whom he had also appeared for many years, no longer does any radio work. Thomas L. Thomas, well-known baritone, who used to appear on many broadcasts? Thomas has devoted most of his time the past few years to concert work, though he occasionally does appear as a guest soloist on some of the serious music programs. Henry "Hotlips" Levine, who was an NBC staff conductor and also led the orchestra on the old Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street show? Levine is now the director of the station WTAM orchestra in Cleveland, Ohio. Bartlett Robinson, who used to play the part of Walter Manning on Portia Faces Life? Robinson is still most active, but has concentrated mainly on television, and appears on the Broadway stage from time to time. These are some of the personalities readers have inquired about.
