Dear Diary,
Bob was at the Air Corps gunnery school at Kingman, Arizona, tonight, on the first stop in his latest tour of camps. He will broadcast from Camp Hood, Texas, next week. Virginia Bruce was Bob’s guest. Being in Arizona, they naturally did a western sketch. Bob and Skinnay sang a duet to the tune of “Jingle Jangle Jingle,” only instead of spurs, it was burrs. It seems that they backed into a cactus plant. Bob also said a lot tonight about Dorothy Lamour’s recent wedding. He said, “I guess Crosby and I will have to get a job now.” He also said that the pin which used to hold up Dottie’s sarong was in the Smithsonian Istitute with this placard, “Never before has so much depended on so little for so long.”
Dear Diary,
Bob was broadcasting from the air corps gunnery school at Las Vegas tonight. His guests were David Butler, director of “They Got Me Covered,” and Lenore Aubert, who is in the same picture. Dave Butler also directed “Road to Morocco,” so Bob asked him who he thought was the better actor, Bob or Bing. David said, “Well, Bob, after we finished ‘Road to Morocco,’ I rushed over to your house to tell you about that, but you weren’t home.” Bob said, “Are you sure you got the right house” You know, Bing and I live next door to each other.” Dave said, “You mean I set fire to the wrong house”? Bob announced that next week his guests will be Dorothy Lamour, Paulette Goddard, and Veronica Lake, and added, “Oh boy, good old southern-fried Hope!” He also said that they will sing the number they did together in “Star Spangled Rhythm.”
