Dear Diary,
I haven’t seen Bob Hope in any pictures this month, but that will be more than made up for, beginning next Saturday, and I do mean by seeing “My Favorite Blonde” six or eight times. Not only that, but I’ll see him in person a week from Monday. And that, boys and girls, ain’t hay! I heard Bob on the radio four times this month. He was on a China Relief show April 11, and I heard him on his own show three times. I would have heard him on his own show four times, but of course, President Roosevelt had to take his air time last Tuesday for his report to the nation, in which he said almost nothing which had’t been said a thousand times before he said them. Anyway, the President wanted to speak, so who am I tell him when he should do it. He must not like Bob Hope though, because every time he speaks on Tuesday, it’s always at nine o’clock. Actually he does it because that’s a convenient listening time for most people and ensure he’ll have plenty of listeners. I saw in the paper that President’s Roosevelt’s rating was as much last week as the combined ratings of Bob Hope, Jack Benny, and Fibber McGee usually are.
