When I arrived at Chloanne's I was told that I was iust in time for that hilarious radio pro- gram on television with Don Hoops, for the comic king, who was broadcasting from Russia where he was entertaining StaIin's great-great grandchildren. I was also fortunate enough to see Mar- ilyn Henderson on TV advertising mascara by that old habit of hers of blinking her eyes. Later in the evening Bob Schreib, protege' to Charles Atlas stopped in and it was good to talk over old times with him. He told me that Bill Wegeng, the stock car racer, had became world champion and that Dick Massie, the second Mario Lanza, had gotten his first real break by doing the singing advertisement for the soap opera. At that time I was seized by a coughing spell and had to return home where I got some of Betty Coffman's coffdrops.
