Remember, nature isn't always right, but Tintair is. Time for Frank Sinatra's first guest to come a calling. So, Mr. Bill Bailey, meet Frank Sinatra. You know, for a minute I thought that you came in here with a raccoon. That is a raccoon, Frank. Say, which one of you is Bill Bailey? I am. Well, hello, Bill. What's the raccoon's name? Petunia. What does she like to eat? Well, she likes grapes and carrots. And once in a while she likes a bone with a little meat on it. That's what I was afraid of. I'm leaving. Tell me something, Bill. How in the world did you ever happen to pick a raccoon for a pet? Well, Frank, it goes back to my army days. We was out on bivouac one day and we caught the nest of six baby raccoons. And the mother? Well, we took them back to the camp and I was put in charge of training them. Gee, with all those stripes around their tails, they must have had to make them all sergeants. Is that right? Well, no one of them made sergeant. That was whack. Master Sergeant Floopy. Did Floopy ever see any action? Yes, she saw quite a bit of Action, Frank. Yeah, she got the point. Purple Heart? No, kid. Really? Yes. How'd that come about? Well, one night we had to duck for cover real quick. I had to leave her on deck. So when I came back on deck after the air raid, why, she was laying over on the hatch and her shoulder was broken. A piece of shrapnel might have hit her. So we took her down and patched her up in the hospital and she got well. That's wonderful. I'll never buy another raccoon coat as long as I live. Who wants to go around wearing 24 heroes around my back? That's a pretty interesting story, Bill, but we really invited you here to talk about you. As a matter of fact. What's your occupation? Well, I'm an oiler first class at the Allenwood Steel Mine, Dover, in New Jersey. Really? You know, I tried working in an iron mine once. I had such a magnetic personality, I kept sticking to the roof. Oh, you don't believe that, do you? Say, are you married, Bill? Why certainly. Uh huh. How does your wife feel about you having a raccoon for a pet? Does she like Petunia? Well, it's all right, but both of us being around the house is too destructive. So one of us has to sleep in the barn. So poor little Petunia has to sleep in the barn? No, me plus. You're kidding. But Bill. Now for the story behind your favorite record. What is your favorite record? Bill Bailey, won't you please come home? And how come it became your favorite record? Well, you see, Frank was like this. When I proposed to my wife, she said no. I said, well, I'm leaving. So when I left, I told her I wasn't coming back till she sent for me. Uh huh. Well, I waited for a while. She didn't write to me, she didn't telephone or nothing. But she did. She sent me a record. Bill Bailey, won't you please come home? That's a wonderful story. We've got a great record to go with it. Jimmy Durante's with his old partner, Eddie Jackson, starting their stuff with Bill Bailey, Won't you please come home? Hello? Who is this? Isabelle. Your man left you. Okay.

Remember, nature isn't always right, but tin tear is. Friends, here's a preview of a record we made a few weeks ago. I think you might be interested in the story of how this record came to be made last Summer, when I was appearing at the Palladium in London. I learned that the kids of England are kind of in a desperate need of playing fields. Which correspond to what we call over here, playgrounds. And I thought I'd like to do something if I could. And I offered to make a record, the proceeds of which would go to establish one of those playing fields somewhere in England. And last night, the master record was shipped to London. Where Princess Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, recorded a personal message which will be heard introducing the English rendition of our new record of a truly wonderful song. And it's called London by Night. London by night Is a wonderful sight There is magic abroad in the air I'm often told that the streets turn to gold when the moon shines on circus and square deep in the dark that envelops the park there's romance in each cigarette's glow. Down by the Thames lights that sparkle like gems Seem to wink at each girl and her bow. Up comes the moon when the city's asleep he's not alone for it seems somewhere up there Stands an angel to keep her watch While each London dream. My love and I saw the sun leave the sky Then we kissed in the fast fading light. Most people say they love London by day. But lovers love London by night. The first portion of Meet Frank Sinatra has been presented by Tintair T I N T A I R. Tintair Home Hair Coloring Tentair also brings you the Somerset Palm Theater on the CBS TV network.

You'll find my reason is logically sound. Who's gonna know that you passed them around A hundred years from today? Why crave a penthouse that's fit for a queen? You're nearer heaven on mother Earth's green. If you had millions what would they all mean A hundred years from today? So laugh and sing, make love the king be happy while you may. There's always one beneath the sun who's bound to make you feel that way that big old moon is shining and that's a good sign Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine Remember, baby, we won't see it shine A hundred years from today 100 years from today it's visiting day on CBS, and here's a young lady who has come to say hello to one of America's top singing stars, Miss Betty Bauer, meet Frank Sinatra. Hi, Betty. Hello, Frank. Well, we certainly are happy to have you with us tonight. Do you mind if I tell you that you're rather attractive and beautiful? What? Thank you, Betty. Tell me, what are you, a model or something? No, I'm a nurse. A nurse, hmm. Would you answer me one question? If I can. All right. How can I get real sick in a hurry with you around? How does the hospital ever get rid of the male patients? Tell me, Betty, where do you work? At Beth David Hospital. And where did you work before that? Well, right after I graduated, I went into the army. Army, huh? What was your rank? First lieutenant. Gee whiz, I suppose all the men saluted you like this. Did you get any decorations, Betty? Well, I was wounded and I got the Purple Heart. You weren't the nurse that took care of Bill Bailey's raccoon, were you? Uh, where were you wounded, Betty? Well, not where it shows, no. Gee whiz, I mean, what part of the world? Oh, in the ato, in Master Column. Ah. What was going on at the time, do you remember? Well, our hospital was giving a New Year's Eve party, and a couple bombs hit us. I see. Some New Year's Eve party, see? You know, Betty, a lovely girl like you must have done an awful lot for the morale. And my picture appeared in the Stars and Stripes. And one unit elected me their pinup girl. Really? Pin up girl, huh? What unit was that? Do I have to tell you? Well, sure. Come on. They just gotta. What unit was it? The garbage disposal unit. That's pretty cute. So you were the honey of the honey wagon set, huh? Are you married? Yes. All right, men, you can all go home. The job is taken. What does your hubby do? He's a doctor. Well, he's certainly just what the doctor ordered. Hey, that's a clever joke. I'm packing. How did you two first meet, Sweetie? I mean, with the romance department, you know. Well, again, on New Year's Eve, same story almost, but not quite the same. We were watching a television show. All the doctors and their wives were there, and I was on operating room call. And so suddenly, at Midnight. Everyone was kissing and yelling on the screen. And one doctor's wife jumped up and said she thought Dr. Bowers should kiss every girl in the room. So he got up and pecked each one of them. When he came to me, he gave me a real kiss. Isn't that nice? So that's what goes on out there while we're working our brains out on television, Right? I think I'll change places with the doctor. Take a se. Gee whiz, Betty. You know, we're just about ready for the story behind your favorite record. Would you mind telling us about it? Well, it goes back to the time when I was in the army. I was given leave to go to riviera in france, south france. And a couple of my friends and I decided that we were tired of army uniforms. So we dressed up in french clothes, civilian clothes, pretty guns and stuff like that, and we went to a nightclub. While we were there, a waiter came over to my table, and he said that a man was very anxious to meet me. So I got up, I thought the face looked familiar, and I went over to the table. And did I get the surprise of my life. Really? Well, who was it? Bob hope? Well, my goodness, what happened then? Well, he asked me to dance, and he kept talking to me in french. That is, until I told him that I was from huntington, west virginia. Believe me, skinos knew what he was doing. When he talks french, he better talk it to somebody from huntington, west virginia. What about your favorite record? Well, the orchestra was playing mamzel, and I later got a record of it. And since then, it's become one of my treasured memories. Okay, Betty, we'll play your record. After all, winter is almost here, and old skinos will soon be back on season again. Sam. Our rendezvous, mamzel. The violins were warm and sweet and so were you, mamzel. And as the night danced by a kiss became a sigh your lovely eyes seem to sparkle just like wine does no heart ever yearn the way that mine does for you? And yet I know too well someday you say goodbye then violins will cry and so will I. Mamzel. Thank you very much, nurse Betty bauer for bringing your wonderful story, your wonderful record, and your wonderful self to our little get together. And here's something to take home with you. A $50 savings bond and a beautiful ben russ embraceable wristwatch, which will be engraved from me to you. And here's another young man who's come here to meet our star. However, in this case, it was our star who sought to meet this young man. So, Mr. Paul Judson, meet Frank Sinatra. Hello, Paul. We're glad you could accept our invitation to be here. Hello, Frank. I'm glad I could accept, too. Well, I was. I was sure surprised to get your letter, you know. Really? Well, then maybe I better tell you how I found out about you. One afternoon a few weeks ago, I went over to see my mother. We were sitting talking and I was nibbling on a piece of cold lasagna. And all of a sudden she leaped up, rushed over the television set and turned it on. And I asked her what all the excitement was about. And she told me there was one program she never missed and it was yours every day over watv. How do you like that kind of a thing, huh? Gosh, that's really terrific. I guess any singer would be real happy to have Frank Sinatra's mother listening to his show. I wish she'd listened to mine. It would be real dandy. The next thing you know, she'll be going around buying Vaughn Monroe records. Anyway, Paul, I saw your show and I liked it. And I like the way you sing. How long you been at it? About five years. And what was your first big break? Well, I was singing at a convention and my big number was the Vestala Juba from Pachi. Know it well, Sing it every day. Well, there was a famous orchestra leader there and he heard me sing and so he offered me a job. That's terrific. Who was this opera loving conductor? Toscanini Stokovsky? No, it was Spike Jones. Spike Jones? How'd you get to sing with Spike? His arrangements all sound like the Plumber's Revenge. Every time I hear something. Well, I used to sing in dreams. I kiss your hand, madam, because I can't stand your face. Oh, I heard that thing. Sure, it's one of my favorites. Well, Paul, we can't promise to give you the same tender treatment that Spike gave you when you sang. But Graham Forbes and his boys will do their best. We asked you to come here tonight because we think you've got a kind of a bright future in the singing business. I'd like to make sure the whole nation is not a chance to hear you. You all set to give us a song? Sure, Frank. All right, Paul. You're on, kid. Oh, my love, I give you all my love. The stars may fall, my love, but I will still be true. All my sights will disappear at once. Now that you're here at last My heart belongs to you. Oh, don't you ever let me go. You thrill me so. I Can say see as I recall my life I've waited all my life to give you all my love all my. Paul Judson. It was great. A little too great, I might add. Between you and Gary Crosby, I'm getting in a lot of trouble around. See Whiz. Next week, the show will be called Meet Paul Judson. Take a bow, Paul Judson. That was great.

Time for the visiting team to go back into action as another of our studio guests drops in for a small heart to heart with our star. Okay, Mr. Steve Mitchell, meet Frank Sinatra. Hello, Steve. How are you? I'm fine. How are you, Frank? Well, according to my doctor, I passed away about three months ago. Tell me, what's your occupation, Steve? Well, I'm trying to be an actor. That's funny. I know several Hollywood stars doing the same thing. They've been doing it for years. What was your last role, Steve? Well, I played a prize fighter with Mae west and Diamond Lil. Prize fighter with Mae West? So that's where they got the expression give them the old one too, huh? Say, have you appeared in any other show beside Diamond Lil? Well, after I got out of dramatic school, I went into summer stock. And of course, I played in a few mob scenes for the movies. I've been in several mob scenes in the movies myself. At Metro Golda May, they kept me in a sailor suit so long I was going around saluting Admiral Television. Tell me, Steve, what did you do before you became an actor? Well, I was jack of all trades, a little like Jack London. I was a pro football player, taxi driver and also a private detective. Oh, like Frank Farfel, eh? I thought that your left eye was shaped a little like a keyhole. Which, of all your jobs, was the toughest one? Steve, I think acting, it's the toughest thing to break in on. You starve to death on it. Especially if you're me, believe me. What kind of a part are you interested in playing, Steve? Something like Humphrey Bogart. All right, baby. Bogart, huh? Well, tell me, what do you like most about Bogart. His wife, Lauren Bacall. Very good. Well, you'd make a pretty good tough guy. Typo. Right. Do you do dialects? A little. Well, how about trying a little. A little Italian? Okay. Tutti benegrazia, Frankie. That's Italian. Yeah. Hey, Ma, you've been teaching me all wrong, kid. Where'd you learn that, Steve? Well, that's out of Idiot's Delight. Idiot's Delight? Well, tutti Sinatra nienti. That's from the Kissing Bandit. Did you see that picture, Steve? Yes, I did. One thing about the Kissing Bandit is it had a perfect title. Everybody who went to see it got robbed. Now, Stephen, my boy, we come to your favorite record. What's the story behind it? Well, last summer I was at stock at a little place down by Baltimore called Hilltop. Mm. And I went down for a swim in our pool. Pretty fancy having your own swimming pool at a summer stock location. Well, it was really an old tank they used to dip sheep in. From that day on, you, Bob, had to use sheep clippers. No, I can't finish that joke. I just can't do it, Steve. So you went out for a swim and then what? Well, I got down to the pool and there was a pretty girl there, and all the fellows were trying to make an impression on her. Well, I thought I'd get in the yak, so I climbed up on the high railing around the pool and was going to do a beautiful dive and somebody pushed me. Well, I splashed all over and I got out to apologize. And she was soaking wet, but she was laughing good. So we got to talking and we went down to this little bistro to dance a little. And first record the jukebox played was Stardust. And it's been our favorite record ever since. You know, Steve, I think seriously, that next to the Star Spangled Banner, Stardust is our song to more Americans than any other tune. And you know something else? What's that? The boys who produce this show, Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, also produce a television show called the Web. They don't know it. Shepard. I'm just turning casting director. And I hereby guarantee you a part in one of their up and coming shows. Sweet. Thanks an awful lot and good luck, Steve. I hope you make it. And here is your favorite record. We hope your gal is listening, too. Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night Dreaming of a song the melody haunts my reverie and I am once again with you When I look love was new and each kiss an inspiration but that was Long ago and now my consolation is in the stardust of the song. A garden war where stars were bright you were in my arms. The nightingale tells me a fairy tale of paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain ever in my heart it will remain my saddest melody the memory of love's refrain. Well, sir, many thanks to the young man who told us to strive what stardust means to him. And here you are, Steve Mitchell. Here's a $50 savings bond on the handsome Ben Russ 17 jewel wristwatch which you will have carved up to say from me to you. Okay, now, Graham, if you and your four fugitives from television will lay down a small musical carpet, I shall tread as daintily as I know how on each tender little note. Yum dee da dee da I love to play this melody Yum dee da dee da the melody you sang to me. Here beside my piano I linger Picking out a memory with just one finger Yum dee da dee da the music brings me close to you. Maybe if I play it long enough it will come true. Now you're far away and I'm alone and so I play the Meet Frank Sinatra Show. We'll be back in just a few moments with this week's star guest. More songs, more records and more stories. Need we say more? The highest standard of living, the highest wages and the shortest hours. All this plus the time honored guarantee of individual freedom. Where else will you find all these advantages? But under our American economic system, it has brought more benefits to more people than any other system ever devised. This is cbs, the Columbia Broadcasting System. This is FS on cbs. It's time again for songs, records and stories. Which means it's time again to meet Frank Sinatra. So with a story behind her favorite record as a calling card, here's a young lady who's come here to meet FS in person. So, Mrs. Charles Fabian, meet Frank Sinatra. Hello, Mrs. Fabian. By the way, what's your first name? Oh, Carol. Do you mind if I call you Carol? Oh, no, you can call me honey if you like. Frank. What the hey? I think I better settle for Carol. People might talk. What kind of work does your husband do, sweetie? Well, he's an automobile mechanic thing. I like automobile mechanics. When I was a kid, they used to let me hang around the garage in my neighborhood. And every once in a while they'd let me dive off the radiator cap to see if there was any water needed in the. Isn't that ridiculous? Now, you know that's pretty silly. How can anybody fit In a radiator cap. Gee whiz. Well, Mrs. Fabian, I think we better get into the story behind your favorite record. How did it all come about? Well, Frank, when Charlie, my husband, proposed and I accepted, he came over one evening with a wedding band he had engraved and a record. While he played the record, I read the inscription in the wedding band. Uh huh. And what. What was engraved in there, Mrs. Fabian? Well, it said, from this day Forward. And the record was what? From this Day Forward by Frank Sinatra. Seriously? That's a wonderful story, Mrs. Fabian. I'm immensely gratified that your favorite record turned out to be one of mine. From this day forward I promise you with all my heart that we shall never be apart. From this day on from this day forward I'm yours to call your very own I live my life Life for you alone from this day on and on I welcome each new tomorrow Knowing that I our tomorrow is here on and on and even beyond this forever Heaven is mine Whenever you your name from this day forward I give you me with all my love from this day forward from this day on well, our thanks to Mrs. Carol Fabian for picking that record.

Neighbors, get yourself set for a treat. Because I am about to introduce a young man who is not only a good friend of mine, but I also feel he has come to be a good friend of yours through his wonderful CBS program, Songs for Sale. And if you want to be fast on your feet, you call on Arthur Murray. But if you want someone who's faster than his feet, you call on. Who else? Jan Murray. Hello, John. Hiya. Hello, John. Hiya, Frank. Thank you for that lovely introduction. It's good to see you, Jan. It's always good to see you. I'm glad you feel that way, Frank, because I'm probably your most loyal fan. Are you really? Who do you think goes around drawing those mustaches on Bing Crosby's pictures? All I love you, man? Well, you know, Jan, that Crosby boy is still kicking up quite a bit of dust, you know. Dusty calls it kicking up a storm, lad. Hey, incidentally, did you see that big spread life gave him? Listen, at his age, life has a way of doing that all the time. Beginning to resent these laughs you're getting, Frank. Tell me, Frank, if you've been listening to me on Songs for Sale, I sure have. It's On Friday night, eight to nine, isn't it? You mean you don't know? Yes. Eight to nine in New York, Frank, just in case. I don't know if this is a local program you're doing, but in case it gets out of New York, let the folks know it. It gets past Jersey, we're in trouble. Yeah, maybe a mother learned. Hey, hey. You know, I tell you one thing I'm very grateful of. Songs for Sale for. Boy, that's one hour, which I could say anything I wanted without fear of offending anybody. How do you mean? See, the reason I could do this, because a recent hoopa survey shows that I'm alone. Hey, hey. Incidentally, though, Frank, you're really a busy guy, you know, making all those records, doing a radio show or television show. I'm worrying about you. You're beginning to look like a breadstick with lungs. You get enough fray around the edges. I've been pretty busy. I hardly sleep. As a matter of fact, look at the bags under my eyes. Ah, they're pretty deep, Frank. Yeah, I didn't worry about them much until yesterday. I went past the sherry Netherlands, past Jack Benny said. Looked at me, said. So, what's new, Fred? But I'll tell you, Frank, I've been taking. Taking a pill that makes me feel wonderful. Everybody around town is always recommending some kind of pill. No, no, I want. I want to recommend this one to you, Frank. It'll help you. This is. This is a special kind of pill. This pill gives you vitamin A, B, C, D, E, F and G. I'm lucky I remembered what comes after F. This pill also contains thiamin, niacin, penicillin, sulfur and alami O. ED. What else is in this thing? It's got cod liver oil, shark oil, liver oil, mineral oil and wheat germ. Well, that's certainly a very nice thing. It also contains nitrogen, hydrogen, salt, oil of cloves, saccharin, benzedryl and chiron. Well, that pill seems to be. It also has bromo, quinine, sodium salicitate and triplex. Compound of extract of eucalyptus. Say, I'd like to tie one of those. You got a pill on your. Yeah, don't be silly. They weigh 12 pounds. Who can carry. Got to warn me. If I was strong enough to carry it, I wouldn't take it. You know what I mean? Kidding, Frank. You got to eat them with a knife and fork. Oh, why didn't you tell me? But I'm not kidding, Frank. Look, you know the way I love you. I'm your Most ardent fan. And I'm worrying about you. Great talent like you, I don't want anything to happen to you. Why don't you go to a gymnasium? All the stars go. I mean it. All the stars go down here to get in condition. Yeah. Jack Carson goes there. Look at the shape he's in. I go there, look at the shape I'm in. What gym does Faye Emerson go to? Look at the shape she's in. Well, Jan, seriously, thank you for concerning yourself about me, but I'm all right. When I take a deep breath these days, my chest almost touches my shirt chest, he calls it. Say, Jan, you know that everyone who comes on our show talks a little about a favorite record, if they have one. Do you have a favorite favorite record? Well, Frank, at the moment, my favorite record is a song called why should I Dream? A sung by Russ Emery. And I'll tell you why. You see, on my program, songs for Sale, we give amateur songwriters an opportunity to have their songs heard. And several weeks ago, an ex prize fighter by the name of Bingi Caruso, song one on our show, the song called why should I Dream. And Mitch Miller of Columbia Recordings, who was on the panel that night, loved the ballad so much, Frank, that he immediately recorded the song with Russ Emory doing it. And that's the reason it's. It's one of my favorites, incidentally. You give it a listen, Frank, maybe you'll like it. And we'd love to have a guy like you recording it because then it would really be made. All right, let's see what you mean. Jan, give us the record and we'll give it a spin. Thank you. Why should I dream when my dreams have never come true? When my heart has been broken in two by a dream? Why should I dream when I know the wise thing to do is to try and forget about you? Still I dream at night when I lay my head on my pillow you're all I see and I cry like the weeping willow Please, darling, come back to me so why should I dream when my dream have never come true? Still I know I'll keep dreaming till you dream of me. Russ Emery sings A Little Too Good for Comfort. A nice song and a very nice record brought here by a nice guy, Jan Murray. Happy songs for sale. Jan, if you stick around for a moment, we'll go right back to work trying to sell a bit of song ourselves. Graham, let's try not to make this going out of business sale, shall we? There's no business like show business. There's no Business I know Everything about it is appealing. Everything that traffic will allow. Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow. There's no people like show people. They smile when they are low. Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold. Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold. Let's go on with a show. The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk are secretly unhappy men. Because the butcher, the baker, the grocer and the clerk get paid for what they do but no applause. They gladly bid their jury jobs goodbye. For anything theatrical and wise. There's no business like show business. Like no business I know you get word before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn. Top of that your PA and my parted. You're broken hearted but you go on. There's no show people like show people. They smile when they are alone. Yesterday they told you you would not go far. That night you open and there you are. Next day on your dressing room they'll hung a star. Let's go on with the put your dreams away for another day. Well friends, we're glad you got to sit around with us for spell this Sunday. It's been fun being with you. We'll be taking the same sort of a Sunday drive around your way next week at the same time. We hope you're home when we call.
