Around Hollywood

Hollywood (U.R) Jack Benny
and Bob Hope have turned down
small fortunes to appear in Las
Vegas night
clubs, but they
made their
nightclub de
buts in Holly
wood this
week for
$25.
One hotel in
the gam
bling city of-
Aline Mot by f ered Hope
$50,000 for only three days'
work. Benny could rake in
$200,000 for three weeks of
cracking gags in Las Vegas any
time he gives the nod- The com
edians say no on grounds they're
busy making fortunes in other
mediums.
But this week they worked
hard at one-night stands, two
shows a night, in the swanky
Mocambo on the Sunset Strip for
a handful of change.
Big Heart Exposed
Behind their debut on the
saloon circuit is a story of the
big, sentimental heart of show
business. Now and then it is
exposed in this often heartless
town.
Charlie Morrison, the likeable,
well-known proprietor of Mo
cambo, became ill Jan. 19 and
has been confined to his bed at
home ever since.
Last week Marie Wilson de
cided the nicest get-well card
his movie star customers could
send Charlie would be good busi
ness at the club during his ab
sence. She offered to appear at
Mocambo one night to entertain.
The idea spread, and custom
ers who have sipped champagne
and wiggled ,the mambo at the
nitery, from Benny and Hope to
Dan Dailey and Jane Russell, of
fered to pitch in and be the floor
show for one-night stands.
Since such appearances can
not be made for free, because of
union rules, each star has to be
paid the union minimum of $25.
Playing To Packed Houses
Other celebrities who are play
ing to packed houses during the
11-day tribute include Van John
son, Bud Abbott and Lou Cos
tello, Jeff Chandler, Lisa Kirk,
Gordon MacRae, Ann Blyth,
Dinah Shore, the Ritz Brothers
and Joanne Gilbert.
Each star in his act pays trib
ute to Morrison. He's been a
show business fixture for 31
years since his days as a Broad
way agent for Milton Berle, Gus
Edwards, Sophie Tucker and
other performers.
Because Charlie lies in bed
every night at show time, his
pals tape-record each sh6w so he
can hear the tributes when he
feels better. His wife, Mary, and
daughter, Marilyn, ex-wife of
Johnny Ray, take his place at
the club.
"I tip-toe into the house every
night but Charlie waits up to
hear what happened," Mrs. Mor
rison said. "Then he cries his
eyes out.
"He's so thrilled by this. He
keeps saying, 'This is a landslide.
It's just unbelievable. His heart
is so full. And his doctors say
it's helped him a lot.
"Charlie says, 'This usually
does not happen to people who
are alive. They have to die to get
such a tribute'."
Eugene Man Placed
On Probation by Judge
Portland (U.R) Clyde L.
Metcalf, 34-year-old employee of
the Eugene Chamber of Com
merce, was placed on two years
probation by U. S. District Judge
Gus J. Solomon Friday for viola
tion of federal income tax laws.
Metcalf pleaded guilty to fail
ing to file an income tax return
for 1951. He was ordered to pay
an assessment to make up the
1951 tax.
Deetz' Milk Bill
Said Designed To
Profecf Producer
Salem (U.R) The milk bill
Rep. Elmer Deetz, Canby dairy
man, promised he would draft if
the milk marketing control act
was repealed, has been complet
ed and will probably be ready
to go to committee Tuesday, he
said Friday.
Deetz, the dairy farmer who
clashed with the Milk Market
ing Administration over his sale
of raw milk by the gallon jug to
his neighbors, said the bill is
designed to protect the producer.
The milk marketing control act
was repealed by the voters last
November.
Assumes Minimum Price
Deetz said the measure in no
way attempts to control the dis
tributor other than to assure'the
producer a minimum price for
his milk. The ami of this, he
said, was to protect the producer
in event of price wars between
distributors. He said in previous
milk wars, the producers had to
bear the brunt, sometimes to the
point of being priced out of busi
ness.
The bill provides for strict ac
counting and auditing of distribu
tors to assure producers of the
exact amount of milk sold as top
grade, and the amount going into
manufacturing.
Four Lowest Months Used
It provides that the producer'6
quota or contract with the dis
tributor will assure the producer
of a given daily amount of milk
sold as grade A at top price,
based on his four lowest months
of production the preceding year.
This would be determined by
March 1 each year.
