LISTENING

NEW YORK MAY ONLY be
a couple of hours away from
here .via plane, but it seemed
like ages before we could get
out of there . . . We missed
our winged craft on the return
flight, and with the world series
just over, everybody tried to
get out at the same time . . .
Sitting at Jack Dempsey's with
Dorothy Collins, Peter Lind
Hayes and George Wood of the
William Morris Booking Agency,
columnist Louis Sobol told us
about the night club employee
who was complaining that he
needed more money to live .. .
"Have you prayed for a raise?"
asked Louis. "Oh, no," he an-
swered. "My boss doesn't like
anyone to go over his head."

for out-of-towners to see in New

where Bob himself tries to
make funny but only succeeds
in making money • .. And the
Little Club, where owner Billy
Reed is usually "on"—but if his
jokes don't go over, he laughs
anyway, because his place is
always filled . . . And of course
the Copacabana, where comics
like Jimmy Durante, Jerry
Lewis and Joe E. Lewis have
made it one of the great laugh-
