FRANK SINATRA, his old-time friends insist, hasn’t changed, en route from obscurity to almost unprecedented fame. He is still the same cocky, independent guy : hottempered, argumentative, generous, impulsive, emotional! Remarkably durable, too! At the end of long days filming his new'est RKO Radio picture. “Step Lively”, he would be going strong. i even thougli he’d entertained the \ night before at Hollywood Canteen until midnight, made a special overseas broadcast at 1:4r>. got up at 7 am., to don his movie makeup : and faced another broadcast that night. His chief trouble in adjusting himself to the movies is the nightowl habit. In his theatre, night club and radio work he never begun the day before noon. This ‘■8:30 on the set. made up and ready to work*’ stuff of the movies threw him off schedule. “Habit of the past seven years inkikes me widest awake when all movie folks should he in bed”, be says. Sinatra attributes part of hi< remarkable ability to keep going to keep in good physical condition. He boxes, skips rope, punch, es the bag. swims — when possible —daily. Most of this program is
possible because he takes his equipment and sparring partners with him wherever he goes. People gasp at his thinness, wonder how he can stand without tire support o fthe microphone! And just as they’re most Sympathetic, he vaults four feet down into the broadcasting studio auditorium fro mthe stage, chats a moment with a friend in the audience, and then jumps back over the footlights again. Try a standing fourfoot jump if you thinks it’s easy!
