Realart Production Dare I say it? Adorable PSA re: War Bonds with Crosby clan. Scenario: Crosby's playing softball with his 4 sons in the backyard. � Gathers them together to talk about honesty, which leads to discussion � of war bonds; also has good jokes re: Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope. Great � segment with Gary (about 12 years old here) and Bing-- Bing: To be honest is always the best... Gary: Daddy, is it dishonest to listen to Frank Sinatra? Bing (pauses): No, it's not dishonest, just a lack of taste. Son #2: A singer like that only comes along once in a lifetime. Son #3: Yeah, but why did he have to come along in Daddy's lifetime? Bing: Honesty means paying debts.... (goes on to say we owe a debt to our soldiers, can pay that debt by buying war bonds). Son #4: I'm going to sell stamps. Bing: To who? Son #4: Bob Hope. Bing: With Hope, remember to get cash. Gotta get cash. Ends on "Buy war bonds at this theatre snipe". John Jones.
