Alternate Title
  • Vintage one-liners roll off lips of Bob Hope on Grandstand stage last night to delight crowd. About a half-hour into his 83-minute routine: he called for a lounge and stretched back to sing Lazy. I have to rest: I'm 75: you know. My make-up kit weighs more than I do. My make-up man has to be flown in from Lourdes . . . But as long as I have audiences like you: I'll never retire.
