Footnote 7

7. In the early 1930s, the Sunday night Eddie Cantor show was a family ritual. I remember the sponsor was Chase and Sanborn's coffee. About a decade later, in December 1942, in Army uniform, I attended an Eddie Cantor show broadcast in Hollywood. There was a pre-broadcast studio audience warm-up and Cantor, spotting a uniform in the audience, summoned me up on the broadcast platform and invited me to sit alongside his vocalist, Dinah Shore during the show. I was a big Shore fan, so you can imagine how I felt that night. Months later, at an overseas base, Dinah was barracks pin-up.
