    Subject:  SOS   ANNE  DE MARCO

    I have been searching for a photograph either of the De'Marco
    Sisters, with ANNE identified on the photo or a photo of ANNE by herself.
    Should any kindhearted subscriber  happens to know where I can
    acquire such a photo please contact me.  Better yet should someone
    happen to have such  a photo and can send me a scanned copy  I would
    be enormously grateful.

    Subject:  Jack Benny Show
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

    Actor Steve Stevens was on a TV episode of THE JACK BENNY SHOW. It was the
    episode with Frank Sinatra from 1962. Stevens is seeking a copy on DVD to
    re-watch but it turns out I don't have that episode. Used to, but not any
    more. It's a common episode to find. Anyone have a copy they can make or
    donate to make an actor happy?

    (that) give you pretty good idea(s) of what (the  people) looked [removed];

    You can count on it, folks.

    Robbert's work is not only excellent in its own right; it has the  pleasing
    feel of such vintage material as Feg Murray's "Seein' Stars" and  the like.
