Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovela

WOULD YOU travel to Des ‘Moines, Ia. to see the big musical revue, “Red, White and Blue?” What was that? You wouldn't travel that’ far hecause you know the American Legion show Opens Tuesday at the Murat Theater and will run four days. You're sensible, g Well, I'll. be in Des Moines tonight. And I have high hopes this week-end will be better than the last, with its Indiana-Purdue game, freezing temperatures, icy highways. One sure thing, I won't be FROZEN stiff in Des Moines. There are a number of reasons why this trip 1s being made. Perhaps we'd better let the reasons alone. Let's just say that the real reason is because I haven't been out of town on. office time since September, and packing a satchel gives me more enjoyment than finding a $5 bill in long unused trousers. Just love to pack and go someWhere, % ® ¢ @

I'M GOING to write how I liked the show, May even be in it. Say, this Gale Sherwood, the revue’s top tiirush, is a solid chunk of sugar and spice. Maybe it will be love at first sight. Maybe fate is behind all this, In a couple of montis, who knows, I may be writing about my wedding and honeymoon, From Nassau or Bermuda, yet, A careful check of the advance publicity pictures of “Red, White and Blue” personnel reveals Gale Sherwood isn’t the only eyeful. This could be my lucky year, The best part of all, I'll be

She would tell me how she and her husband, Dave Sebastian, keep battling—yet stay together and in love. Anybody can fight and break up; in fact, anybody does. : > But Carmen's bumpy domestic life which has led to three separations is OK again, and her ; secret seemed vital to the whole silly nation. “Sure, wot the hal, I tal you!” Carmen said. : “My hosban’ and me break up t'ree times,” she began. “Oh,.it was a mass. But now everything's smood again. - “Now my hosban’ thinks I'm a § doll. I think he’s a doll. We ¢ fight like hal, but afterward both of us is a doll!” “Your husband's in the television conversion rack—business, isn’t he?” I said. . “Yah, hahnee. From a smalla one he makes a biga one. How beeg it is my set?” She asked a friend. “Nineteen inches. Beeg!”., We were in her hotel suite. She'd been doing some television and decided to call Dave in Los Angeles and tell him about it. Miranda Sitting down next to me, in her bare-shotildered gown, she said, “Mmmmm! Don’t you think I smell brawnze?” “Smell what?” “Brawnze, hahnee! Like California! Mmmm!” She quickly got Dave on the phone. . “Oh, hahnee, I was so dom cute, hahnee!” she apprised him. “And don’t be jallus, hahnee, ‘because dere's no men around here—only 4 or 5.” They exchanged love messages over the phone and then she said: “He lJahv.me and I lahv him but we fight like hal.
