"Of course I sometimes think up little snatches, but I'm in such fast company. I don't believe what I think up wasn't stolen." She Is Inspiration Despite what Mrs. Mercer claims, she has inspired no less a lovely number than "You Grow Sweeter As the Years Go By", for which Johnny wrote both lyrics and music and which was played at the Cocoanut Grove specially for the Mercer's tenth wedding anniversary. "I danced to it with tears running down my face," confessed the sentimental lady. Another song that made Mrs. Mer- cer cry was "Mandy Is Two," which was inspired by the couple's pert, blond daughter. It wasn't until John- ny whipped up some limerick lyrics that made Mrs. Mercer laugh that she was able to stand the haunting beauty of this number. Mandy, now five, has always heard her song with the placid assurance of small children. In fact, she thinks all her daddy's pieces are written about her, especially the G. I. Jive one. As she sings it, it's "This is the G. I. Jive, Amanda live!" July 14, 1944 NE DAY ABOUT five and a half years ago, Joe E. Brown opened his cavern- ous mouth and didn't put his foot into it. Instead, he introduced Hanley Stafford to the beautiful radio actress, Vyola Vonn. That was all Joe needed to do, because Cupid took over from there on, and four years ago, Vyola and Hanley were married. As they form one of radio's most interesting Mr. and Mrs. twosomes, Radio Fanfare recently took a CBS camera man out to the Stafford estate high up on a hilltop overlook- ing Sunset boulevard's strip. The resulting pictures tell, far better than words, the story of Hanley's and Vyola's home life. In them we see Baby Snook's tormented daddy (and the beleaguered Mr. Dithers of "Blon- die" fame) as a devoted spouse, and the lovely Vyola, who has helped sing the'Rinso com mercial for four years, who is always "the other YYOLA AND HANLEY STAFFORD in the living room of their beautiful home, woman" on "Maxwell House" and high atop a Hollywood hill, look out over the entire city.

For several months past, Vyola has been doing all the work in the pair's ten room house. "I adore cooking", she enthused, "and right now I'm in the throes of Chinese dishes. I'm trying something special out on twelve of the family next Sunday. Yes, I've learned about cooking since I was married. Mother never let me putter around because I messed the kitchen up too much. When Henley Home Is W married me, all I could make was a marble cake—the pink, brown, and white kind."
