You've seen me write here about my friend, Frank Ferrante, the great impersonator of Groucho Marx. You've also seen me recently lament the passing of Frank's (and my) mutual friend, Eddie Carroll, the great impersonator of Jack Benny. There's a memorial service tomorrow for Eddie and Frank can't be there because he's filling in for Eddie. Eddie was supposed to perform in Longview, Washington on Saturday but when he took ill, he cancelled that appearance and Frank was quickly booked in his place.
Here's a nice story about a lady named Dorothy Ohman who arranged to go see Eddie because she used to work for Jack Benny. And she's fine with the substitution because she also used to work for the Marx Brothers.
