I agree.time to do the evening?╟╓s performance. The Associated Press found out about it, talked to Bed, asked him "why??╟Ñ - and the next day headlined their story 'toLLIOH-DOLLAR HOTEL GETS FREE BEHEFIT PERFORMANCE." At the end of the 700 word story, when the AP reporter, John Flynn, asked Skelton why he did the "benefit,?╟Ñ Skelton replied simply, "Jack Is my friend," This relationship with the stars prompted Entratter to make Sinatra a partner in the Sands 10 years ago. The same foresight by Entratter was used when Bean Martin split with Jerry Lewis * the industry and the "smart-goney" boys believed both would fall on their acts. Jack signed each of the two stars to long-term contracts at the Sands, even made Dean a partner in the Sands, Perhaps that's why, when Bean was asked recently by a trade reporter there a certain outdoor movie was going to be made, he replied, "In back of the Sands, where else?" The stories of the friendship between Jack and his stars arc endless - many go way back to when Jack was the producer at the Cepaeabana in Stew Fork, and helped some of today's great stars get their start. He dealt gentljfwith them on starting salary, he tried to be the first one to talk about more money for their return engagements, he was usually the first one they turned to for advice on their act.
