Dear Diary,
On Cresta Blanca Carnival tonight the commentator said, “In the Paramount picture, ‘Road to Morocco,’ there were four main characters, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, and a camel. It’s been so long since I saw the picture I don’t remember who sang ‘Moonlight Becomes You,’ but I know it wasn’t the camel. Anyway, it’s a great song, and here’s Brad Reynolds to sing it for you.”
I read in the paper today that when Bob returns from his trip to armed forces overseas, he and Bing will make a picture called “Road to Utopia.” The location of “Utopia” will be kept secret until the picture is completed and released.
Dear Diary,
Zero Mostel was on the Cresta Blanca Carnival tonight. This is probably his last radio appearance before he goes into the army next week. All I can say is the army is getting a swell entertainer. If they put him to digging ditches or any kind of stuff like that there, I’m going to take it to Washington. That nut could build up anyone’s morale. Incidentally Zero is number four comedian on my list. Ahead of him are Bob, needless to say, and Bing, and Garry Moore is ahead of Zero for third place. He probably never will be more than fourth, because Bob is unbeatable, and Bing and Garry know how to look out for themselves remarkably well.
