Rose, sorry to bother you.
What is the situation with regard to the entertainment?
Have they decided?
Uh, yes, they have, um, the Johnny, is it the Johnny Man Singers?
Yeah.
And I think they're trying to get with them, um...
The one that occurred...
The one that occurred from New York, uh, the one that you went to her show, uh...
Oh, Debbie Reynolds?
Debbie Reynolds.
That's who the Johnny Man Singers, that's who Pat wanted, I guess, and Julie.
The one thing that occurred to me that I should have mentioned earlier, who would be really great, and not because of his ideology, because he's been to Russia and here, is Danny Kaye, you know?
Yeah, well, they were going to try to get him.
But he's Jewish?
I don't know what happened, whether they felt they'd have to check him out with the Russians.
Oh, okay.
Well, Johnny Mann and Debbie Reynolds will be fine if she doesn't mind.
I don't know what they were checking that out today.
Right, okay.
Okay.
