Bob Hope – Camp Pendelton – Ginger Rogers. ep214, 440208

Bob “Camp Pendleton Marine Base” Hope jokes about the vast size of the base. Marine Corps pride, toughness, and lady barbers.

The show takes a side step to Washington DC, and a message about the Boy Scouts. Francis Langford sings, Besa Me Mucho. Francis joins Bob to joke about the Women Marines on the base. Jerry Colona phones in to joke about his war bond drive activities. The man crazy Vera Vague may feel like a young colt, but, Bob claims she looks more like an old 45. The putdowns don’t stop her from chasing after Jerry. Might they soon be married?

Ginger Rogers is on hand to talk about her Marine Corps husband. She also gets teased about her latest film, Lady in the Dark. Because the film is about psychiatrists, they put on short drama on the topic.
