Sixty years in show business! What a record for the seventythree -yearold Charles Coburn, who is, we hasten to add, the "youngest" member of the "Louisa" cast.

Doris Day was on the phone and talking excitedly to her manager, Marty Melcher. Doris: "Can you get me a new heater?" Marty: "You already have a new heater," Doris: "This one's for the pool."

And that was how she learned that Jimmy had called while she was out and left the message that he was flying in for the weekend! ■

Say we, the first one they'll meet is one of the nicest.
