Oakland Tribune (Sept. 18) -- For years casino owners have offered Bing Crosby as much as $50,000 a week to play Las Vegas. And for years Bing has always said "no." Alone with two other holdouts, Bob Hope and Perry Como, the Groaner has never wanted to get mixed up with the Las Vegas gambling mob. Last month, however, for the first time in his lengthy show business-career, Bing appeared on a Las Vegas stage, and without his hairpiece. The reason was to help his oldest son, Gary. Having broken away from his three younger brothers, Gary was booked into the Flamingo as a single. On opening night in Las Vegas his singing act was panned by the critics. They termed it "over-long and over-arranged." Next night Gary suffered a bad case of stage fright. Billy Daniels and Bobby Darin were called in to substitute. Word soon spread that young Crosby was in trouble.

Dad heard about it up at his fishing ranch in Rising River, Calif., immediately flew down to Vegas to catch Gary's act and give the boy a hand. About halfway through the act Bing jumped onstage and swapped jokes with his son. They sang a duet they had recorded when Gary was a teen-ager, a tune called "Simple Melody." After that, Gary was fine. He and his dad went backstage, posed for the photo below, expressed their mutual affection by a round of wise-cracking. In the past Gary and Bing haven't got along too well. But by coming to Gary's aid unasked when his boy needed him most, Bing helped bury the hatchet. Between father and son these days everything is okey-dokey. -- (by LLOYD SHEARER, Parade West Coast correspondent)

Kathryn Crosby was in a cotton print. Her hair was pulled severely back into a tight bun with a wisp of bangs over her right temple. She's completely charming. Her voice is soft. Her brown eyes are so big that she has almost a startled look. She obviously has been avoiding the sun because her face had that peaches-and-cream look and her arms and legs were white. Her speech is slow, almost reflective. Bing calls her Sweetness. And the appellation couldn't be more fitting ...

THE CROONER WORE a wide-striped seersucker suit, a sports shirt that was open at the neck and out at the waist. He and host Arthur dined coatless. I told Harriet I felt more comfortable with my coat on inasmuch as it served as a partial cover-up for my massive front. Bing was without a toupee. He isn't as bald as the ribbers have made out. His hair is thin on top, but it is there. He watches his weight, never lets it get over 165. He isn't as thin as recent photographs show him, either. He's been playing golf quite a bit. His score on this particular Sunday, for instance, was 74.

IT'S EXCITING TO OBSERVE the rapport that exists between the two Crosbys. They frequently seek confirmation of statements from each other. You can see the feeling of mutual pleasure and approval that exists. Theirs is obviously a complete happiness. Two of the reasons, of course, are their offspring -- their 2-year-old son and their daughter who is 12 months old. In the year since the daughter was born, Bing hasn't yet learned how to handle her. I keep thinking she's going to break, says he. Bing's mother, now 90, lives with them in her own wing of the Crosby home. The matriarch of the Crosby clan, however, maintains her independence. A whole week will elapse when she won't see her son and daughter-in-law.

"She simply wont be patronized," Bing says. "We had a nurse for a while who had a sort of protective attitude toward Mama. But Mama finally broke it. The nurse came in one morning and asked, 'And how was our bowel movement this morning?' To which Mama replied, 'Lets get this straight. There's no such thing as OUR bowel movement. Its either yours or mine. And you remember that!' And she did."

As we ate, Bing told us about one enterprise that he had to abandon, the one where Crosby money was made available to inventors of gadgets or devices which might aid humanity. "Never dealt with more crackpots in my life," Bing said. "One guy trailed me for weeks wanting to show me the model of his invention. Finally, in desperation, I let him unpack a huge box. In it was a miniature race track where the spectators moved around the track with the horses. Ah, such dream cats."

He recently finished High Time, a 20th Century-Fox picture, the one where he dons feminine attire. Bing and Kathryn were approached to play the leads in Sheilah Graham's Beloved Infidel, but Bing couldn't see himself as F. Scott Fitzgerald.

PROMPTLY AT 11 Bing announced, "Must get back to the toddler. His nurse has a date tonight and I don't know what might happen if he'd awaken to find a strange baby-sitter. He might very well slug her." Harriet and Arthur and my wife and I stood on the veranda as the Crosbys got into their car. As the car went down the driveway we saw them silhouetted in the back window. Bing's arm was around her, their heads were snuggled together. "There," said Arthur as the four of us watched, "is love in bloom."

(UPI) -- With the last of Bing Crosby's adult sons having finally entered into matrimony, the Las Vegas show girls will have to wait a while for a chance to marry into the Crosby clan. Bing's only unmarried son at this date is 2-year-old “Tex,” who is a bit young to be interested in Las Vegas show girls, four of whom have been the brides of his half-brothers.

Records 'A Christmas Sing With Bing' for radio.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- One of singer Bing Crosby's twins, Dennis, admitted making love to a Hollywood divorcee. He said she pursued him while he was befogged by 100-proof vodka. And he said he has serious doubts he fathered the 3-year-old daughter of Mrs. Marilyn Scott, as she contends in a paternity suit. The child is named Denise Michelle. The defendant's full name: Dennis Michael Crosby.

Crosby, 26, who has since married a showgirl, said the tall, 28-year-old secretary's reputation makes him doubt he's the father. He has formally denied paternity. After he had testified for 70 minutes, Dennis stood before the jurors alongside Denise, held on the counsel table by her mother's lawyer, for a two-minute comparison of features. Blue-eyed Denise smiled winningly. Young Crosby was solemn. Mrs. Scott burst into tears. Then she composed herself and took the witness stand.

She testified that Dennis visited her Hollywood apartment four times and that on two of them they were intimate. Young Crosby in his testimony had mentioned only one instance of love-making. Dennis said he met Mrs. Scott in a Sunset Strip bar in late 1956 or early 1957. Just out of the service, he was then having 10 to 20 drinks every night, he said. His memories of the affair are a bit hazy, he admitted. He usually drank 100 proof vodka mixed with a soft drink. Crosby said her "bad morals" make him think he may not have fathered the child.

"She has been seen out late in this type of bars, and I have heard rumors that I wasn't the one," he said. Blood tests were introduced showing Dennis could not be eliminated as a possible father to the child. Such tests do not prove paternity. Dennis is married to ex-showgirl Pat Sheehan. They have a 22 month-old son and are expecting another. He has been paying temporary $350 a month support for Mrs. Scott's daughter, born Nov. 24, 1957.

An array of surprise witnesses questioned yesterday by Atty. George M. Henzie said: (1) Mrs. Marilyn Scott, 28, the mother of Denise, probably couldnt have conceived during the two times she made love with Dennis, (2) Dennis at the times was too filled with alcohol to father a child, and (3) another man believes the child possibly is his.

While the testimony at times brutally frank droned on, teen-agers on Christmas vacation jammed into the crowded courtroom with adults to titter and make sly remarks. The bombshell testimony that another man might have fathered Mrs. Scott's child came from the man himself -- Edward Davis, 34, a chef. He said he read newspaper stories about the birth of Mrs. Scott's child in November, 1957, six months after Dennis wed Las Vegas showgirl Pat Sheehan and offered to marry Mrs. Scott.

"I thought possibly the baby was mine," said Davis. "If the baby were mine I would provide for it and marry her. Mrs. Scott paled, grasped the arm of her attorney, Milton Zerin, and tearfully sobbed: "I've never seen this man in my life." Davis said he and Mrs. Scott met in a bar and were intimate twice between December, 1956, and February, 1957. Mrs. Scott earlier said she had not been intimate with anyone else when she twice made love with Dennis in January and February, 1956.

Dr. Thomas J. Haley, a UCLA toxicologist, testified for the defense that Dennis would have been unable to father the child if he had drunk between 16 and 20 shots of vodka he testified to drinking before being intimate each time with Mrs. Scott. And Dr. Edward Tyler, physician chief of UCLA's postgraduate sterility program, testified that it was remote Mrs. Scott could have conceived at the two times she was intimate with Crosby.

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- A Superior Court jury which included nine mothers decided by a 9-3 vote late Wednesday that Dennis Crosby, balding son of crooner Bing Crosby, fathered the 3-year-old child of a Hollywood divorcee. Mrs Marilyn Miller Scott broke into tears of joy when she heard the verdict, possible under California law for civil cases, which require a majority of nine votes. Seven women and two men voted for the decision. Dennis' attorney said he intended to appeal. Superior Judge Clark Stephens recessed the case until Jan. 3, when he will consider setting allocations for child support. Mrs. Scott claimed Dennis fathered her daughter, Denise Michele, in February 1957.

[Bing advised Dennis not to appeal the jury's decision. It was not appealed.]

Barry Fitzgerald, 72. whose performance as an impish Irish priest endeared him to moviegoers of all ages and won him an Academy Award in 1944, died Wednesday night at a Dublin, Ireland, hospital after a long illness. Upon learning of Fitzgerald's death, Bing told reporters “He was a gentle, nice, warm human being. I hadn’t heard from Barry in about two years,’ ’ Crosby said. "He used to write me about the fishing in Ireland and said I should go over there."

"I'm lucky." Hope said, "not many people have friends that old." Despite their bantering rivalry, the bond of friendship between these two is extraordinarily strong. Strong enough, in fact, to survive eleven weeks of living under the same roof, with their respective families, in a large country house in Wentworth, Surrey.

"I've never before spent so much time under the same roof with Crosby," Hope said, "and I think it gave us a chance to get to know each other even better than we do already. For instance, I found out that he really does sing in the bath."

Hope and Crosby first got together on the bill at the Capitol Theater, New York in 1933, and became friends immediately. Since then, Crosby has watched, and to a great extent been a part of, Hope's rise to fame. Crosby explained: ‘‘l think there's a tremendous drive within Bob. He's been Number One. He's been one of the top comedians for years and would dislike ever to see himself displaced from that position. That's why he drives and works and keeps current on the trends of humor and jokes. The work and the laughter of the audiences, their approval and their applause, to him is a stimulant. I've worked a lot with Bob when he's been tired and exhausted. We've traveled on long trips and arrived at the theater and I know he's tired. But when he walks out onto that stage and gets that first big laugh, that first round of applause, the fatigue seems to leave him and he's right back on the ball again. He's on his toes and he's flying."

By JAMES BACON, Hollywood -- Very few women could be married to living legend, rear three small children, manage four homes and still win a diploma in nursing. But Kathryn Grant, actress and wife of Bing Crosby, will pick up her nursing diploma today from Queen of Angels Hospital. "The course takes three years, but it took me five," says Kathy. "I had three interruptions." The interruptions are Harry, 4; Mary Frances, 3 and Nathaniel, 1. Although Kathy's graduation coincides with Father's Day, Bing, one of Hollywood's more famed fathers, won't attend. "Bing hates crowds," explains his pretty wife. "Also, it's the graduates' big day - and Bing and I do not think it fair to take any thing away from the occasion."

What will Kathy do with a nursing diploma? "I intend to work as a nurse as much as I can," she says. "I love it. There's a great shortage of nurses and it's hard for hospitals to get nurses who will work as cheap as I." She donates her services. At 29, Kathy busily juggles a multitude of careers. Being the wife of Bing means that Kathy has to be able to wade in a trout stream before dawn, then scramble the breakfast eggs over a campfire and look like a model for the cocktail hour. She does them all extremeIy well, especially the model part.

When Kathy was a little-known contract actress at Columbia, designer Jean Louis used to make beautiful clothes for her. "I had a selfish reason," says Jean Louis, "she looked beautiful in them." Now Jean Louis has found an actress with gratitude. From coast-to-coast, she models and often doubles as commentator for Jean Louis fashion shows. In between all her activities, she plans to resume her acting career. How does she manage it all? "Very simple," she answers, "I just fly instead of walk." The other day she wound up a day's work at the hospital, jumped into her car and, still in nurse's uniform, drove to Lockheed Air Terminal where one of Bing's private planes was waiting. In a matter of minutes, she was airborne en route to Bing's deep sea fishing retreat at Las Cruces near the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California. Kathy, who has had 40 hours instruction in the two-engine plane, took over the controls part of the way. "My next objective is a private pilot's license," she says.

Miss Sheehan, 31, said she and Dennis, 29, have been separated for about a week, and she doesn't know where he is staying. She added that she has consulted an attorney, Arthur Gorman. "We have both tried hard, but are just incompatible" the blonde former showgirl said. "However, we still hope to work things out. We are going to make a strong effort both for our sake and the children's."

Miss Sheehan has a son, Greg, 11, by a former marriage. The Crosbys also have two children, Dennis, 4, and Patrick, 1. The couple separated for one day in December 1961. They were wed May 4, 1958, in a Las Vegas wedding chapel. Dennis, one of Bing Crosby's twin sons, is the third of the four boys to experience marital difficulties. All four -- Dennis, his twin Phillip, Gary and Lindsay, married Las Vegas showgirls. Lindsay, 25, the youngest, was divorced in November by Barbara Diane Frederickson, after a two-year marriage. Phillip was divorced last June by Sandra Drummond, after five years of marriage. Gary, 30, the oldest, married Barbara Stuart on Sept 6, 1960, in Las Vegas.

Kathy and her husband's best friend have already begun rehearsals for the show which will be beamed in November. It is a genuine coup for Hope in his long-standing joust with the Old Croaner. Down through the years Bing managed to get the best of Bob on the golf course. He topped the comedian in the children department, too, seven to four. In their famed "Road to" pictures it was always Crosby who got the girl while Hope was left in the lurch.

Bing and Kathryn go to Kona Farms to join Alice Faye, Phil Harris, June Haver and Fred MacMurray in Trader Vic Bergeron's California retreat.

Larry Crosby accused professional golfers Tuesday of trying to take over the Crosby tournament and said they may kill it, instead. Larry, who runs the tournament for his brother, said the event cannot be continued if the PGA refuses to withdraw what he called "outrageous demands" for television money. He said the PGA wants 75 percent of the television proceeds from the Crosby tournament and other events on the PGA tour. "They're just coming in and saying 'We're taking over,'" Crosby said. "Have you ever heard of anything like that?" He said it was "worse than the Capone mob moving in."

NOT THE least interesting aspect of the extravaganza is the fact that Kathy will be making her first TV appearance with her husband Bing on this, his first special of the new year. Inasmuch as it's one thing to be married to a living legend like Bing, but quite another to costar with him on his TV show. A few quotes from Mrs. Crosby may be in order. "I worked harder on this program than for anything I've ever done on the stage in my whole life," she began. "I admit I was nervous about one thing. In the show I sing a solo, my initial such try on television. That's tough enough, especially with such an illustrious cast looking on. BUT JUST imagine how it felt for a girl making her TV singing debut to duet with Bing Crosby before maybe 30 million people!"

But if Kathy was slightly apprehensive about her vocal efforts, she approached her dance routines with Gennaro and the others free from any qualms. She's been dancing all her life. She began studying ballet and interpretive dancing in her early 'teens, traveling 34 miles each morning for lessons before showing up for her first school class at West Columbia (Texas) gramMarch school. For her foray into television Kathy will be clothed in a half dozen gorgeous Jean Louis creations supplied by the thoughtful production. "And you know something? I get to keep the gowns I wear on the program. That's really why I did the show in the first place," she kidded.

At Rising River Ranch

I keep wondering what charging wild boars must think when they see Crosby at the end of a shotgun. Bing hunts and fishes and plays with his three little ones and, when he feels like it and the part's good, makes a movie. We were assembled in the fourth floor catacombs of the S.F. Hilton to talk about his latest "movie," that Cinerama tour of Russia opening tonight at the S.F. Golden Gate. Although Crosby is on camera only three minutes (he's host and narrator), it was as good a reason as any to sit down to a steak dinner. He talked about the old days with Paul Whiteman, about his stuttering comedian friend, the late Joe Frisco, about songwriters. "Those guys don't send me their songs anymore," he smiled. "They send them to the more popular singers. I'm out of the picture now. I just narrate Russian travelogs."

Actually, that's not altogether true. Bing has a starring role in the remake of "Stagecoach," due on Eastbay screens in June. He plays the role of an alcoholic doctor -- a characterization that earned an Oscar for Thomas Mitchell in the flick's original version nearly three decades ago. The new "Stagecoach" was shot in Colorado last year. "Rained nearly every day on location," said Bing. "It was great. Van Heflin, Slim Pickens and I got a lot of fishing in."

He pulls a long-stemmed pipe out of his blue tweed sportscoat -- the blue so perfectly complements his deep tan -- and talks about Bob Cummings' work on "Stagecoach." "He was very, very serious about his part as a sort of villain. Bob would go to his dressing room about a half hour before the shooting started and spend all that time practicing facial expressions in front of the mirror. Then he'd come out on the set and Van would say, 'Bob, uh, I don't think you should do that stuff.' Bob was rather disconcerted. One day Bob had to shoot a scene by himself. Just he and a cameraman and an electrician. Director Gordon Douglas said it would save time that way. Bob passed my dressing room on the way to the location and I called him over with an emergency tone of voice. 'Listen,' I said, 'Gordon Douglas just called and he wants Van Heflin to direct you in this scene.' Bob gulped and said, 'Oh, no.' Lots of fun it was, making that movie."

Bing says he's made "about 94 or 95 movies" over the years. "I've only liked three or four of them -- 'Going My Way,' 'Country Girl,' 'High Society.' And you know about one-third of them I've never even seen. Some were so bad that if I'd seen them I would have hid out for a year." The "Road" series with Bob Hope always was the fun stuff. "We'd make up some of the dialog as we went along. I guess you might say we were screenwriters. Maybe we'll do another 'Road' movie some day. Bob and I were set to do a 'Road to Lebanon' TV show with Danny Thomas, but Bob got sick so Danny and I did it ourselves."

One film Crosby would definitely like to do is the screen version of Morris West's fine novel, "Devil's Advocate." "I had an option, then Warners bought it. But it doesn't look as though they'll make a film now. Maybe the price will go down and I can buy it back." Der Bingle struck a wooden match on his thumb, lighted up a bowl of Half and Half, sprinkling a few shreds on the tablecloth, and talked about pheasant hunting with his son Harry, 7. One gets the impression that Harry eventually will become the second most relaxed male in the world. (Herb Michelson, Oakland Tribune, 31 March 1966)

By CYNTHIA LOWRY (AP) Feb. 13 -- Bob Hope is a fine entertainer. The USO is an organization worthy of a benefit performance. The new Madison Square Garden is an impressive auditorium. The combination, however, did not add up to a very happy hour for television viewers tuned to NBC. The problem, quite simply, was one of size and shape. Hope, with Bing Crosby and Pearl Bailey, performed on an enormous bare platform in the center of the vast place. While the microphones functioned satisfactorily, the visual part left much to be desired. Hope and friends were before the cameras during the benefit Sunday night. The tape was edited to be broadcast less than 24 hours later. It was pretty ragged.

The comedian walked onto the stage with a lot of jokes about the city's strike of sanitation workers -- which to New York were like Hope's smog jokes when he is in Los Angeles and his GI jokes when he is in Vietnam -- more amusing to the folks on the scene than in other parts of the nation. Bing Crosby and Hope predictably insulted each other with good humor -- and some ot the time their printed cue cards were highly visible to the TV audience. Barbara Eden and some chorus boys had a song and dance number that was pretty difficult to handle -- Miss Eden had to change costume in front of the audience since there was no place to hide.

Most awkward of all was the fact that all performers, trying to reach the live audience seated around them, circled the platform trailing microphone wires, like restless creatures on long leashes. Much of the time their backs were to the cameras. The show concluded with a long and unfunny boxing match between Rocky Marciano and Hope -- it never came off at all.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Bing Crosby traded songs with tribal warriors and even managed a round of golf during a two-week African safari which ended Wednesday. The trip took him across Masailand, in northern Tanzania, and ended in Nairobi where he golfed at the plush Karen Club. Crosby viewed the course on the 5,500-foot plateau and cracked: "Bob Hope should play here -- it's just about the right height for his drive. He might even get on the green."
