QUESTION & ANSWER DEPT....
"Forty-eight years ago, I proposed to my
wife, Lee, at Darbys restaurant over a piece
of cheesecake with strawberry sauce. I read
where Bernie Kerner spoke to you about

the origin of the restaurant name. Do you
or Mr. Kerner know if the recipe for the
cheesecake survived and is used at any
restaurant today?" ... Paul Blizman.
(That sure was luscious cheesecake,
Paul. I don't know if the same cheesecake
is still being sold anywhere. Bernie Kerner
passed away, and he had put many of the
recipes in a vault. I'll check and also hope
that someone will know if it is still avail-
able. If they do, I will be most happy to let
you know.)
THOSE WHO MAY have seen them
perform know why their show is always a
must-see again event.
The Scintas put on that kind of perfor-
mance ... Some of their material might
have been seen or heard before, but most
of it is always fresh.
Their one-night-only stand recently
was before 740 raving attendees at the
Andiamo Celebrity Showroom, Warren,
who continuously applauded their comedy,
impressions, singing and fast repartee.
Folks who missed or want to see more
of them will be able to catch the Scintas
again during a three-night return engage-
ment at Andiamo Showroom on Dec. 4, 5
and 6.
OLDIE BUT GOODIE DEPT. ... A
Jewish man and a Chinese man were con-
versing. The Jewish man commented upon
what a wise people the Chinese are.
"Yes", replied the Chinese man. "Our
culture is more than 4,000 years old. But,
you Jews are a very wise people, toe
The Jewish man replied, "Yes, our cul-
ture is more than 5,000 years old:'
The Chinese man was shocked. "That's
impossible he exclaimed. "Where did
your people eat for a thousand years?"
