Your Durante quote makes sense, now I don't feel so much like my comprehension is in jeopardy!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11640605843329709012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-84091582144229594082017-03-27T07:11:46.084-04:002017-03-27T07:11:46.084-04:00Thanks Chic,I was thinking of Jumbo.

Interviewers tried for decades to get him to reveal who Mrs. Calabash was, but he smiled and kept his secret. Insiders thought she was a real person, but even they never knew exactly what the story was.<br /><br />Durante made a string of films, many with Donald O'Connor, and we remember him in JUMBO. When you find his clips on YouTube, you will appreciate what a great old-time star he truly was. Look for Jimmy singing his circus song. His TV show closed with him on a darkened stage, walking into three spots, waving good-bye.Roger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920466115948257597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-22018747542735517862017-03-26T10:02:43.604-04:002017-03-26T10:02:43.604-04:00"Good night, Mrs Calabash, wherever you are.&..."Good night, Mrs Calabash, wherever you are."Bob Swaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350024229622261355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-64677511217494285232017-03-26T09:50:53.369-04:002017-03-26T09:50:53.369-04:00And Jimmy Durante's punch line was...?And Jimmy Durante's punch line was...?Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11640605843329709012noreply@blogger.com
