I "Thafs my boy," exclaimed Jimmy Durante at he gazed at young man who possessed MOW sandpaper voice and cut- sized nose. His "boy" was Jackie Barnett, Durante's composer, writer, eon- fidante and imitator for more than a decade. Barnett, who looks much younger than his 32 years, is also currently portraying the early-day Schnox in "The Eddie Cantor Story." "How come they didn't ask me to play the role?" asked Durante when he visited the set.

"Put a toupee on my head and I'll look just like a juvenill." But young Keefe Brasselle fe playing Cantor, so that required someone even more "juvenill" than the ageless Jimmy. Barnett, who was seen in action by a talent scout at a Durante TV rehearsal, was chosen. He has the Durante voice and gestures down pat, and the illusion is complete with a Cyrano-like nose from the make- up department. After 11 years with Durante, Barnett has ao trouble imitating the great James. In fact, his main trouble is not imitating Durante.

"I even went to college two years," sighed Barnett, "but you'd never know it now I can hardly talk English any more, be- cause of the years with Durante The other night a girl corrected me because I kept saying 'dilem- I had been with Jimmy so long that I had forgotten it was ollfwood underwear p- Barnett was along aad began imitating Durante "Hoy d'ya like that?" exni Durante.

John's Lutheran Church Sunday School will hold a covered dish supper at the regular monthly meeting on Wednesday night February fourth, at six o'clock in the social room. The entertainment committee is planning an exceptional pro- gram for the evening. All members are urged to be present. Being associated with the comic also precludes any family life, the writer added. He goes wherever Jimmy goes, and the next few months will include trips to Miami, Las Vegas, Reno and New York.

"I miss having a place to call home," Barnett remarked. "I've got belongings in hotels all over the country." But the association has brought him wealth and a barrel of laughs. It started when Barnett began writing radio gags with Eddie Davis, a former taxi driver. "I started in show business as a kid," he explained. "I used to stage and emcee the shows at my father's night club in Union City, N.

J. I went to York and ran into Davis, who was a funny guy but couldn't write. He needed somebody to write down his gags and I did the job." When Durante got back into radio in 1941 after a considerable absence, he sent for Davis.
