****There's No Tomorrow****

Dean checks out John's award.

"When he began to tire toward the end because of the excitement and the singing and the weakness he still had from the long weeks in the hospital, when his breath began to run out--Jerry Lewis had come climbing up over chairs and feet to join him on stage, to clown like nobody else in the world could do, to kibitz around to the delight of the audience till Sammy could get his wind again. The next day Jerry was fined $500 for it by the entertainers' union, AGVA--it was against regulations for an artist to appear unpaid, like that. So what happened? The night after, he came back again and did it all over. It cost him a thousand dollars to do a favor for a friend--and he did it with an open, loving heart."

Jerry can't believe his eyes!

The Martins and Morells (no relation to McCoy) engaged in verbal bombasts. It all started when Claudia Martin eloped with Gavin Morell. Dean Martin burned with indignation over losing his eighteen-year-old daughter to a striving actor she met in a drama class. Jeanne Martin (Dean's present wife) also voiced her disapproval. Dino's first wife, Betty, blasted back. The first Mrs. Dino stated in no uncertain terms that Claudia was her daughter, and she not only had her permission but blessings to marry Gavin. However, the fact remains that the marriage may not be legal in the eyes of the California courts. (Gavin had obtained a Mexican divorce in order to marry Claudia.) Now, to make things entirely on the up and up, Gavin's first wife (the mother of his child) filed for a divorce in Santa Monica.

Love Me Tender meets That's Amore

Happy (USA) Fathers' Day June 21.

"We telephoned and sure enough, they were home and wanted us to come over. I kept telling myself I couldn't change, that if they didn't like me the way I was, I couldn't do much about it. The minute we walked in, Tony and Jerry went into a loony routine. It was the first time I'd seen this craziness of Tony's, the wacky routines that people now seem to think monopolize his days--and I loved it. Patti and I went off in a corner and talked girl-talk, and I realized, with considerable relief, that I wasn't expected to "be on" when I was around Jerry. I could tell Tony was as happy as a clam that evening, so I knew that I had been accepted into the family. Then Patti and Jerry included me in one of their home movies. You can't get closer than that to the Lewis clan."

The annual Dean Martin Hometown Festival, held in Steubenville, Ohio, will be celebrating Dean for the 30th year in a row next week.

Happy (belated) Birthday Bubby!

Guys! You're on the air, save that stuff for the room with the whips and the chains!

"Mrs. Gary Cooper, Mrs. Ray Milland, Mrs. Jerry Lewis, Mrs. Mario Lanza, and Mrs. Gregory Peck are all cases in point."

".... and they've never been known to do an act more than once. They've never been known to have an argument, because all along the way they've honestly shared."

Jerry and his great, big......uh, .....radio, yeah-radio!
