4 THI WINONA REPUBLICAN-HERALD, WIKONA, MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1953 Singing Star Worked Hard For Success By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD W-The moral of this story is that if you work hard enough and wait long enough, you're liable to get what you want, Guy Mitchell wanted to be a cowboy. He also wanted to sing. He was born 25 years ago in Detroit and made his singing debut at the age of 3. His house was full of wedding anniversary guests and he chose the occasion to deliver a few songs in a lusty juvenile voice. People have been asking him to sing ever since.

He went professional when his family moved to California a few years later. Warners signed him for grooming as a child star, and he sang on the studio's local radio station. But nothing much happen- end, and his family moved to San Francisco. Hanging Around That's when the cowboy yen came in. He spent a lot of time hanging around two Bay City suburbs where cattle are marketed.

He got a job as a leather worker and spent his summers on San Joaquin Valley ranches. He even worked in rodeo. 1 He began singing cowpoke ditties on San Francisco radio shows. After a postwar hitch in the Navy, he. graduated to vocalizing with Carmen Cavallero's band.

He bounced around on other jobs, including a stint as a shipboard singer on a Caribbean cruise. Then he landed as a winner on an Arthur Godfrey talent show. A few million records later, he was discovered by Hollywood. No need to guess what he's playing in his current picture, "Red a cowboy, natch. What with all this, plus owning his own Tarzana Ranch and marrying Miss USA, Jackie Loughery, he's about as happy a cowpoke as you can find on the Vine Street range.

Guy attributes his success to that factor.

Lee Gotzlinger, 24, of Youngstown, 0. "You stand for six hours along a road 10 feet wide, with monkeys for company, but not even any cows to ride.

"You feel so secure. Nobody ever gets in the woods if you play with him. If you hit the ball in the trees, the tree moves." Hope claimed that the President's caddy kept looking at his wrist, and finally the President said, "Why do you keep looking at your watch?" The caddy replied, "This isn't a watch. It's a compass." Hope also revived one about two ants watching the President swing.

Finally one said, "Let's get up on the ball before this guy kills us." The President clearly enjoyed that and also Hope's contention that a flash came in saying Malen- kov had broken. 80, whereupon a member of the State Dept. said, "This can mean only one thing-WAR!" The fact that the President isn't at all touchy about the jokes means there'll be a million of them. Hope himself was in supreme form at the affair--the White House Correspondents' annual dinner--and so was Ethel Merman, who sang several songs, including Cole Porter's 'I Get a Kick Out of You," which, she said: I would like to dedicate to our President." The President, Cabinet members and correspondents loved Ethel so much they applauded her when she just started to sing. I thought maybe you-all would like to know about these dinners and flew down to report this one, which had everybody, including Charles E.

"They had to clear me with the Army, Navy, Secret Service and FBI before I could come here tonight," Bob added. "Then they tiad to clear all them with Senator McCarthy. I understand the Senator is here tonight with his food-taster." But Bob couldn't wind up without mentioning Bing Crosby, "He just cabled me to send him his sweat shirt," said Hope.

"When people climb into their automobiles," the much-traveled Layton says, "they leave about 99 per cent of themselves somewhere else and try to drive with the 1 per cent they have left. "They look where they are going, okay--but their minds are back in the kitchen, on the golf course, with a girl friend or planning a party. It's no wonder they have accidents." To illustrate, Layton asks: "How many times have you been scolded by friends because you looked straight at them on the street and didn't speak?" Most always you say, "Why, I didn't see you," but the "truth of the matter is that you did see the friend with your eyes, but your vision and were disconnected."
