Hmmm, he reminds me of the late humorist, Robert Benchley, and she has Mamie Eisenhower bangs!

Thanks for the witticisms.....always welcome in this vale of political tears.

I'm given to understand Ace and Benchley were friends and mutual admirers; Benchley turned up on quite a few vintage radio comedies including a classic Texaco Star Theater with Fred Allen. (Oh, it should have been to mourn when the Texaco Star Theater title ended up attached to Milton Berle, who couldn't even buy tickets for Fred Allen's league.)

But if Jane Ace had Mamie Eisenhower's bangs, all I can say is I hadn't realised the Eisenhowers were Easy Aces fans . . . ;)

Here's another vintage Benchley guest turn on the Allen show . . .

The Fred Allen Show (Hour of Smiles): Dr. Allen's Clinic (guest: Robert Benchley) (NBC, 27 December 1939).

p.s. Extra credit if you can name the old-time radio show from which I borrowed my tagline. (It’s also the way I close my own radio show in Las Vegas, which is going on hiatus until September . . . )
