Jerry constantly expresses his af¬ fection for his partner by tapping cigaret ashes into Martin’s hair, then smiling in cross-eyed innocence. Except for rehearsing his songs, when he comes to life with a snap, Martin is relaxed to the point of in¬ difference—kidding the chorus girls, swapping jokes with engineers, phon¬ ing his tailor or simply napping. Lewis buzzes around like a souped-up bee, working out camera angles, or¬ chestra introductions, sight gags, dance routines and script problems. He passes with dizzying rapidity from one personality to another. One mo¬ ment he is the typical Jerry Lewis, a simple goof Martin is leading around by the jaw; the next moment he thinks of a funnier way of being led around by the jaw, and the roles are reversed. Deadly serious, keenly analytical, Lewis becomes the final authority on what’s funny. “That’s no good,” he says. “We’ll do it like this.” Martin listens patiently and obediently.

He spoke calmly, methodically and cheerfully, dropping in gags to re¬ lieve the last-minute tension. “I guess that’s about all,” he con¬ cluded, looking around, “except for Dean. Oh, well, don’t worry about Dean. There’s only one thing I want him to do for this show. I just want him to change his entire personality.” When are you really grown up? There was a time when you wanted things to prove your maturity, like high- heeled slippers or your own key. But all these privileges seem unimportant when you’re really grown up. Then you make decisions because they’re best for you—not just to prove a point. Take sanitary protection, for ex¬ ample. Almost every woman who uses the internal method has made the grown-up decision to adopt it because she believes it’s best for her. She may have learned about it from a friend, her doctor or from a Tampax ad. But basically, she’s weighed the Tampax advantages herself. Here they are: X. Tampax prevents odor from forming. 2 . Tampax is both invisible and unfelt when in place—does away with the whole belt-pin-pad harness. 3. Tampax is easy to dispose of. 4. Tampax is so small, month’s supply slips into purse. 5. Tampax can be worn in tub or shower. 6 . Wearer’s hands need not even touch the Tampax. Tampax is available at drug or notion counters in 3 absorbencies: Regular, Super, Junior.
