We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Eddie Fisher Changes His Mind; Jackie Gleason Ribs Oi Maggio NEW YORK . . . Eddie Fisher stopped using a live audience for his New York telecasts “because the audience squealed during the commercials.” But Eddie misses seeing and hearing response to his songs. So next fall, when he shifts to the West Coast, he’ll have an audience again. And Debbie Reynolds Fisher will be out among the fans, urging them not to squeal. ■ Jackie Gleason's still a card. He phoned Joe Di Maggio at a party recent¬ ly, warned him, “I’m com¬ ing to the party, too—with Marilyn,” and did—with dancer Marilyn Taylor. * Steve Allen’s wife, Jayne Meadows, claims that during their first date together, Steve “hardly opened his mouth in two hours.” Steve admits it, but now adds, “I forgot to have my writers pre¬ pare some witty things for me to tell her.” . . . Ed Sullivan began working in mid-March on a program he’s planning for next October. As he was flying to Los Angeles to sign stars for the show, a friend asked him, “Why do you work so hard?” Ed replied earnestly, “You have to, to stay up there.” ■ Ed Murrow’s Person to Person now is being carried by the BBC, and a British critic recently commented that it was a good show—“but, after all, it was filmed.” Murrow, who nev¬ er laughs loudly, almost guffawed when he read that. He’s lost many potential outlets for the show because of his dogged insistence that it be live at all times. ■ Jaye P. Morgan (real name: Mary Margaret Morgan) didn’t want to call herself “J. P. Morgan” for fear of trouble with the family of the late financier, but that’s just the way they spell her name on TV studio mar¬ quees. There’s a reason: it’s shorter. She and maes¬ tro-arranger Frank De Vol thought up her name, also considered “Helen Morgan.” Friends are of¬ ten confused, don’t know whether to address her as “Jaye” or “Jaye P.” There’s a solution: just call her “Mary.” TV programmers and the Boy Scouts share the same slogan: “Be pre¬ pared.” Myron Kirk, of the Kudner ad agency, which recently switched from Milton Berle to Jackie Gleason, has been playing golf in Hollywood with two up-and-coming young co¬ medians he hopes to do business, with: George Gobel and Bob Hope. ■ Red Buttons' ratings have been going up and down lately—but Reds' spirits remain the same. “This last year,” he observed the other night, “has been very rough.” Then, looking around his swank Sutton Place apart¬ ment, he added, “I hope it’s always this rough!” Jayne Meadows: no script. 22
