As far as the service boys
around the world are concerned,
Christmas wouldn't be Christ-
mas without Bob Hope, and the
boys on the Mediterranean is-
lands were not disappointed as
they thought they were to be.
America's greatest comedian,
only a few weeks before Christ-
mas was in a hospital in San
Francisco, suffering from a re-
curring eye ailment. At first,
it was almost certain, and I'm
sure preferable as far as the
doctors were concerned, that
his annual Christmas tour would
be made after all. However,
it didn't quite work out that
way. His personal physician
ordered him to take a longer
rest and on Thursday, Decem-
ber 19th, his show troupe, in-
cluding actress Tuesday Weld,
comedian Jerry Colonna, and
Miss America, left on the. ten-
day tour, but without Bob. He
would definitely miss two per-
formances at Istanbul, but
planned to join the others on
the following Sunday at Ankara
and complete the tour which
would include stops at Cyprus,
Greece, and Libya. Naturally,
only a guy like Bob would do
something like this. He is cer-
tainly not a well man, but he
will never be too sick to bring
joy and laughter to others.

The 10:30 Show on local
television was a charming pre-
lude to Christmas, in its
homey, relaxed atmosphere
and the calm chatter of its
stars, Earl and Martha Heywood,
their daughter Pat and son,
Grant. Christmas is a day for
families and it was lovely to
see the Heywood family enjoy-
ing Christmas carols and songs
together. Martha was a delight-
ful
elightful hostess who made you be-
lieve that you would be just as
welcome in her own home, and
all the family was so much at
ease that it was a pleasure to
watch them, having just return-
ed from the turmoil of Christ-
mas shoppers. It was a stroke
of genius to present a show like
this for the Yuletide season and
its producer is to be congratu-
lated. This should be made an
annual feature on CKNX

The news has finally come
out, and Elizabeth Taylor and
Richard Burton announced in
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, last
week, that they would marry
when all legal problems are
ironed out, probably about the
middle of January. The legal
problems involve Elizabeth's
divorce from singer Eddie Fish-
er, to whom she is still legally
married. Burton received his
divorce from wife Sybil a few
weeks ago in Mexico. They
are continuing to live in Puerto
Vallarta, a little seaside town
on the west coast of Mexico,
but only because they 'like it
so much'. The movie "Night
of The Iguana" which took
Richard there, is completed,

and all the other stars have long
since departed for their respec-
tive homes — Ava Gardner to
Spain, Deborah Kerr to Swit-
zerland, and Sue Lyon back to
Los Angeles. Elizabeth and
Richard will come to Toronto
by the end of January, where
he will report for rehearsals for
"Hamlet", the production of
the Shakespearean play which
will open at the O'Keefe Cen-
tre in that city on February
24th, and on Broadway in
March. Starring with him in
the play will be Hume Cronyn
and musical -comedy star Al-
fred Drake. Don't think for
one minute, though, that since
Taylor and Burton are finally
being wed, publicity about
them will automatically be at
an ebb. Newsmen will always
follow them around and if they
don't make news, it will be
made for them!

You may be interested in
knowing what the top television
shows, as far as ratings are con-
cerned, were within this year
just ending. The latter part of
1963, saw "Beverly Hillbillies"
way out in front, with a num-
ber of familiar shows following
more or less in this order —
"Bonanza"; "The Dick Van
Dyke Show" which originates
with an American network;
"The Bob Hope Show" on NBC;
"Petticoat Junction", another
Paul Henning creation, as is
'Hillbillies.; "The Donna Reed
Show"; "Candid Camera";
:Andy Griffith Show" on an
American network (We did re-
ceive this a few years ago.);
"Jack Benny" on CBS; "The
Lucy Show" with Lucille Ball;
and "Lassie", another CBS show
from Hollywood. These, of
course, are U.S. ratings; Can-
adian ones perhaps would not
differ too much, although
"NHL Hockey", " Front Page
Challenge", and "Don Messer's
Jubilee" would be close to the
top. Already, new production
schedules are in effect for new
series to be shown next season
on television; no doubt many
of them will be high in next
year's ratings.

And, in addition to his earn-
ings from the successful "Bon-
anza", Canada's native son,
Lorne Greene is raking in the
loot from personal appearances
at western shows, fairs, and
rodeos throughout the U.S. One
of the latest was a rodeo at St.
Louis, which earned him a tiny
sum of $19, 600 for only eight
performances!
A girl called on a farmer in
response to an ad for a shep-
herd. "No, no, lassie," said
the farmer. "I advertised for a
shepherd, no a shepherdess."
"I know that," replied the
girl; "but surely there's no rea-
son why the work should not be
undertaken by a woman?"
"Well, a woman tried it
once and made a mess of the
job," explained the farmer.
"And who was she?"
"Bo -Peep!"
