.... AROUND HOLLYWOOD t VIRGINIA M.cPHlRSON United Frail Csirttpoad.al Virginia UacFheruB Hollywood, May 25 (U.R) Abbott and Costello, who hit the top brackets with their confused wno s on first?" routine, go through the same m i x-up every day of their personal lives. And off the stage It's no gag. Bud Abbott, the tall, skin ny one, says there are only four people who don't at one time or another take him for Lou Cos tello, the short, fat one. They are: (1) Mr. Abbott's banker, (2) Mr. Abbott's wife, (3) Mr. Costello's banker, and (4) Mr. Costello's wife. Nobody else, moans Abbott, seems to be able to remember which is which. "Not even our producer." he grins. Hcs always calling me 'Lou' and Lou 'Bud'. Everybody at the studio does it sooner or later. Even our press agent." Bud gets fan mail meant for Lou . . . and vice versa. Same way with bills. Lou once got a subpoena issued to Bud because he couldn't convince the server he wasn't Abbott. Always Linked Together "The public links us up to gether," Bud says. "Even when we go out separately. Anybody I'm with has got to be Lou whether he looks like him or not. Same way with Lou. He MEDFORD BEAUTY SCHOOL is Shouting for Students Many Good Jobs Open ENROLL AT ONCE In Our June Clan Phone Portia Henderson 2-6336 could go out wih his sister, I bet, . ta iviiiLuiJUj lane llci for me." Then there's the classic story of the red cap in the Los Angeles railroad station who carried Lou's bags and told his buddies: "I just put Abbott and Cos tello on the train." "The kids do it all the time," Abbot said. "They've got two ap proaches: They either say to me: 'How about an autograph, Mr. Costello?' or if I'm out with somebody who isn't Lou they get mine and then say to my friend: 'How about you, Lou?' " Why Disappoint Them? Their fans'd be flabbergasted, Abbott chuckled, if they knew how many ersatz autographs floating around signed "Lou Cos tello" were really scribbed by his press agent, attorney, broth-er-in-1 a w, business manager, etc. . . . "Why disappoint 'em?" Bud says. He (Bud. that is) iust ooened a j sideline selling "Bud Abbott leievisiun seis. Ana IX uie checks come in made out to Lou Costello he won't be one bit surprised. The boys've tried everything. They got the studio to put sep arate pictures at either side of theater lobbies with their names in big, black letters. This worked fine, for a while. Then came the inevitable jug gling. Bud's picture had Lou's name under it, etc. . . . "We gave up," Abbott shrug ged. "And you know what did it? We even got ourselves mixed it! "I was telling somebody a story about Lou the other day and I absent-mindedly called him 'Bud'. That's all brother! "So far. our wives have kept us straightened out and we can't cash each other's checks. "But we can fool everybody else." WILD ABOUT MOVIES Corinth. Miss. IU.R) T. O.
