At 7:04 I'm ready to shave and believe me that's tough to do, because It's awful hard even to find your razor with your eyre closed. However, I make it and at 7:15 I'm lathered and about to operate when my son, Dennie, his dog. cat, bow and arrow and a friend drop in to say good morning. The reason for their visit ia to be sure to be there when I cut myself. Now I don’t want those kids to start the day with a disappointment so I do cut myself and therefore I wifi skip down to 7:30 (cause what happened In the meantime would not look well In print), ' At 7:45 I'm nearly finished with my breskfast, and that mean* 1 must get on my way to RKO, where I'm making "Having Wonderful Crime."

So we start shooting. Thia takes till 9.45 when the visitors start to arrive so between shots wa sign autographs until 10. At 10:15 (after two more show) a man from the RKO radio show comes In and telle ma I am to broadcast at 13:15 and, of course, the script needs some rewriting because it was written for Boris Karloff and doesn’t quite fit me. It is now 11 and my lawyer cans to tell me I'm being sued because my dog bit a police dog and. By the time I get rid of Mm and call the police dog to apologize, It's time to make two more shots, rehearse the radio show and go on the air at 13:15. At 13:30 the radio show ta over and my agent brings a script for me to read while I eat lunch (that's not true about actors not eating luneh—they're just Nkb anyone rise) and wham, It's 1 and I'm back to the set. ropes and all, ready for th? next bunch of autograph seek* ers (God bless 'em) when wham.

At 1:45 after a couple of more shots the advertising department moves In to get publicity stilto for the picture so the balance of the afternoon goes something like this - Make a shot-Make a publicity Rtetwre—talk to the theater owner —“ls it fun making pictures?"— "Why don’t you dance more?”— sign some more autographs—where's the script for the Com. mend Performance?—get In your marks-fix your makeup—change that Mne—<call your wife—eaN your agent- call your lawyer—call the boas—fix your makeup- where's the script for the Command Per. fermance?—And so on til -wham, It's BiU and I m due at CBS for the Command Performance and I haven’t had time to read the eeript yet.
