irom a London golf course to Montmartre and the banks of the Seine, keeping up with Bing Crosby can be a breathless whirl,
yet it's one way to learn all about him
European Weekend with Bing
By ANCIE CURLITT
Following Bing Crosby on a weekend in Europe is like trying to pin down a comet. Just when you think you have the celestial body neatly cornered and you pause to catch your breath, it breaks out and is off again, with you in hot pursuit. Naturally, you don't give up, but you do find yourself thinking that there must be easier ways of keeping tabs on fabulous Der Bingle.
All this came about when I decided to make a quick trip to England from Austria, where I am president of the Austrian Club Crosby, to catch Bing in a golf match, and then move over to Paris to spend the remainder of the weekend watching him work on his latest movie, "Little Boy Lost."
It was the day before he was schedI uled to leave for France, and Bing was the leading attraction at a golf match for the National Playing Fields Association, on the Temple Golf Course, so with my young sister for company, I made my way out to the course in the pouring rain. There was a mob on hand, and I assume that Bob Hope's presence there too might have had something to do with the size of the crowd, but quite obviously our attention was focused on Bing.
A moment after the first tee-off by an English player, Bing appeared. He wore a maroon shirt, canary yellow cardigan, chocolate brown trousers, brown shoes and a wide checked cap! Quite a mixture, and certainly not anything a conservative Englishman would ever be (continued on pace 71 )
Bing might seem to be studying hard, but actually it's unnecessary. While in Paris for the filming of "Little Boy Lost," he learned the language fluently.
