Jack Benny Will Do Movie
Only If It Appeals To Him

By Erskine Johnson
HOLLYWOOD—NEA—Guys and dolls: Jack Benny's turn-down of Time Out For Ginger as a movie does not mean he is no longer interested in celluloid emoting. "I'm not anxious to do just another movie," he told me. "It will have to be something I can't resist."
Jack's secretary, Jeanette Eyeman, is celebrating 10 years of calling him The Boss.
Jack still marvels over her memory when one of his radio scripts was lost at NBC. There were penciled-in changes in almost every line, deletions and added dialogue.
Jeanette consulted her script conference notes and her memory and came up overnight with an exact replica of the lost script.
"She's so appreciative, too," grins Jack. "Even a 10 cent raise in salary leaves her ecstatic."
