Dear Diary,

On the Camel Caravan tonight, Jack Carson was interviewing a singer. She was actually Cobina, of the Brenda and Cobina team, but no one said so. She hit a very sour high C, and Carson insulted her. She said, “I’ll have you know I once sang on Bob Hope’s program.” J.C. said, “Well, in that case, maybe I could use you.” She said, “You could use Bob Hope more.” (No truer word has been spoken.)

I passed one of the lower-class movie houses down town today. The show was “Never Say Die,” with Bob, Martha Rate, and Andy Devine. I wanted to see it so bad it hurt, but I valued my life enough not to go in.
