STRICTLY OFF THE CAM
PUS: With two and a half hours
off for the screening of "Saturday
Night Revue," Milton Berle set a
new endurance record of 19 hours
for television and for the benefit
of the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund
last Saturday night and Sunday
morning. Last year Berle did 16
consecutive hours, raising $1,100,
000 for the Runyon Fund.
After seven years' absence Mar
garet Sullivan has returned to the
screen to play a woman of forti
tude and high heroism in Colum
bia's "No Sad Songs for Me." Miss
Sullivan is known more recently
for her stage performance in "The
Voice of the Turtle."
ON THE BANDWAGON: Ed
die Condon is quoted in the New
York Daily News as saying, "The
bop guys flat their fifths . . . we
Dixielanders drink ours."
Harry James, in an interview
over radio station KLAC, says
"Every tirie I take a vacation the
word gets out that Harry James
has broken up his band fmo good.
On the contrary, my band will soon
go out on a long tour again, head
ing as far east as the Atlantic
Ocenni." And James hits as far east
as Columbia on May it at the
Memorial Youth Center.
PLATTER REVIEWS: Harry
Smith, jazz connoisseur of the
"Carolina Review," says you can't
go wrong if you purchase Billy
Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan's
MGM recording of "Dedicate It to
You," George Shearing's "I Re
member April," and the Metronome
