Among Fred's recent Hollywood guests have been those eye-filling stars (and trust Fred to pick 'em) from Eagle Lion, Joan Leslie, above, and Frances Rafferty. Joan dropped in on her way to Canada to film "Northwest Stampede," Frances appears in "Kenny." HYA Doc! S'November on the clock. Get those feet out of hock, and let's start to rock! Gobble, gobble! Cookies for Thanksgiving! Big round, delicious, ten inch ones, with cranberry sauce and white meat, too. That ever-lovin' oven's been busy, Lizzy, and the tallow is so fresh it almost melts in my paw. They'll do that for sure in your ear, dear. Wanna hear about 'em? Alors! HEAVENLY! FRANK SINATRA: Nancy's Daddy's back on the Hit Parade — hooray-hooray! — and this is shades of the days with T.D. when he was the little guy among the Pied Pipers. Reunion! — courtesy Capitol Records — and welcome too! Sorta on an "'I'll Never Smile Again" kick on "Ain'tcha Ever Comin' Back" — same ■ sumptuous and scrumptious arrangement and as easy to take as strawberry short cake. Or even pumpkin pie. F.S. is on his ownsy on the back, in 2 languages yet, hey, on the old Italian folk song "O Maranareillo"; translation, "I Have But One Heart." Nice aria, Maria. (Columbia) BENNY GOODMAN: The King's technique puts water on your kneecaps! Gets off on that woodwind on "Dizzy Fingers" like a P-48 and leaves you that way; dizzy, that is. A showr piece, Bernice. VVhatta technique, Zeke! Phew! No more clarinet lessons for me. I'm thru. Like the flip. "Tattletale." better though, 'cause the show is forgotten and whole Goodman band knuckles down, Winsocki, and rocks like never before on the Capitol label. Best thing he's baked thus far since ditching Columbia. Now you're playin', B.G., and that stands for "but good" too. (Capitol) SARAH VAUGHN: The gal who's "gone," Sarah Vaughn, meanin' so far off the planet, Janet, you can't see her. Fresh, original, pure tone, knocked-out chord changes, with an epiglottis like an instrument. Asphyxiates me every time! Bring your smellin' salts for "Body and Soul." from the picture of the same handle with John Garfield; "Everything I Have Is Yours," "I'm Thru With Love," and "Lover Man." Like peanuts — the more you eat, the more you want. (Musicraft) PAGE CAVANAUGH TRIO: "Love s Got Me in a Lazy Mood" and "Triskaidekphobia." The kids you dug on the Jack Paar shcfw all summer and behind guys like Desmond. Sinatra and Torme, bake one of their ownsy. Page gurgles the first alone, but is better chantin' with the other two on the reverse, the one with the jawbreaking title, a jumpin' sumpin' 'bout that ole devil — gulp — number 13. S'what "Triska — " means, my dear. Now you just take these pills before your two-mile run every night and your fear of that horrid (Please turn to page 68) Robbins, the doughty collector of rare records, also collects objets d'art for his program — such as, above, Doris Day, who'll be a movie luminary any day now. Left, Warners' Martha Vickers enjoys her interview. Far left, Jo Stafford is a good listener. (Sings, too. I 49
