Report around the Broadway sector in New York is that the Copacabana, the night spot which specializes in name attractions, is trying to book Vaughn Monroe as a single in January. It’s difficult to imagine Vaughn accepting, though, because he’s so busy currently with his Saturday night radio show on CBS, his new Tuesday night video show on CBS-TV, the one-nighters he’s managing to sandwich in between programs and making recordings. If Monroe does sign for the Copa engagement he’ll really earn the title of “the miracle man.” ... Mary Jane Higby, who stars In NBC’s “When a Girl Marries,” was an especially enthusiastic admirer of the technical perfections of the current Broadway production of “Peter Pan,” which stars Jean Arthur.

One of the child actors on stage had just spoken the lines, “The Wendy Bird! How slowly it flies,” when something went wrong with the apparatus and Mary Jane shot across stage with the speed of lightning and vanished before the startled eyes of the audience. “But they weren’t,” says Mary Jane, “nearly as startled as I!” THE RADIO NEWSREEL: Jack Benny might do an hour show on Sunday nights (every eight weeks) when he returns to CBSTV. . . , “Cavalcade of America” is slated to go TV after the first of the year. . . .

That’s all for now, OFF MIKE: On ABC-TVs “Life Begins at 80” (heard Tuesday evenings), panel member John Draney, a retired railroad engineer, was asked by moderator Jack Barry, what part luck had played in his life, and this is his yarn. One evening when Mr. D. expected to take a train out on a long run, he .and his wife had lots of company. After the party and a lavish spread, Mr. Draney got set to leave for the railroad yard and looked around for a snack to take with him. But the company had cleaned the larder. Finally, Mrs. D. found a very small apple and laughingly said: “When you eat this, think of me.” At the train, John Draney got into the cab, stowed the apple away and forgot it for several miles. He had just left his place to find it when he heard a loud crash behind him. He turned to discover that something had come loose and crashed into the part of the cab where he’d
