Now, in this year 1940, with bustles‘ back, hoop skirts back, corsets back, | wasp waists back, do you suppose ' that silk dress custom may be en- forced again? | Probably it’s up to the girls. They had much to do with starting it. | Of opurse, had you lived ir 1288, | Scotland would have let you off | provided you could prove yourwm | betrothed to another woman. In the | 16th century, Genoa and FlmenceJ wene able that way to save Colum- | bus. But you are a Twentieth Cen-| tury man and must buck the Leap Year tradition without benefit of law. Myth carries the tradition back to St. Patrick. The book, “Curiosities of Custom,” records that the good Irish saint, strolling the street one day, was accosted by a tearful woman who told him that certain local girls were throwing fits because they had been barred the privilege of popping the question. St. Patrick (and he did all men a dirty trick to save his own skin for he was a bachelor himself) conceded | the women the privilege of proposing once in seven years and then, mov- ed by the woman's fears, made it ance in four. ‘Whereupon, the woman herself ‘haps is to make a soft answer in regard to social relations of life | t as often as every leap yeare| | doth return, the ladyes have the sole puulr.,e duringz the time it con- | tinueth of making love either by | wordes or looks, as to them it ,m\mmh proper; and moreover no man will be entitled to benefit of clergy who doth in any wise treat r proposal with slight or con- tumely.” Until a century ago there was un- | written law that Leap Year required 2 man to soften his stern answer to the question with the gift of a silken dress. Today the best thing to do per- in |the first place, and use his own judgmem about the dress. But that of course is just a woman’s advice You'll have to figure it out for is mill foreman for Paul the Hirst-Chichagof the Baranof Tippet Screnson at mine.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 23.—So there ARE things like vaca- tions. We were beginning to think you just read about them in travel bureau folders—and statistics on crime. Try doing a radio show and a movie at the same time and you'll get the same slant, Robbin. And try switching from radio writing to screen writing almost overhight, and your eyes will do an Alice-in-Wonderland a la Jerry Colonna. They drafted us from air to screen for Jack’s “Buck Benny Rides Again” and we've both forgotten our addresses and home phone numbers. The difference between air and screen writing is like the difference between bawling out a tough guy over the phone and scolding him face to face—you can get away with anything on the phone. In the Benny air show you've heard of Carmichael the Bear. Carmichael at once popped into mind for the picture. So we wrote and wrote and wrote, page of the film script, all featuring Carmichael. Proudly we handed the copy to Mark Sandrich, producer. “Swell,” he?” said Sandrich, “I've always like that bear. Where is Something died in us. For a year we had been writing stuff for Carmichael on the air show, and with Rochester helping we had convulsed (we hope) our audiences. Now we had to produce ’6: /;mm/ charming hostessess give thougntful guests who bring gifts of delicious Van Duyn Candles. Little attentions make you & ow AT Perey’s "must come" guest. Try it} P rrEsn exclusively uDuyn CHOCOLATES VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS a bear—because seeing is believing, for film audiences. If Car- michael was written in as smacking Rochester down, then Car- michael had to smack Rochester down, in person. Paramount searched three months. It seems that polar bears just don't work for a living. They get by with just looking tough in cages. They dont like people. Then a talent scout turned up with a bear—a lady bear, because boy polars are too fierce. That was only our first difficulty. On the air our pal Jack can gallop up (sound effects: cocoanut shells plopping against sand in a box), holler “Whoa!" and “dismount” in front of the mike with absolutely no wear and tear on the seat of his chaps. But can he get by with that in the movies? Poor Jack. ‘We did the best we could for him, writing him out of one wild chase through canyons, but we couldn't spare him other ordeals in the saddle, even though he shoveled cigars at us and otherwise was really kind and sweet. In spite of our frantic re-writing he had to take his meals off the mantle for five days after the opening scene. But don't get the idea that radio writing is simple, either. In many ways it’s harder than movie writing. The screen, with its visible and audible attractions, allows for more subtlety in writing and action than radio. A gag which has to be given a careful “build-up” on the air can be “sold” by the simple lifting of an eyebrow in a movie scene. Thanks, Robbin, for this opportunity—and for your kind offer to pinch-hit for us when we decide to take a vacation, but we warn you, doing a radio show and a movie script at the same time is a lot like rubbing your stomach with one hand and pat- ting your head with the other—ever try that?
