He is a great baseball and prize fight fan, but) he never, has played golf or tennis, gone horseback riding, mountain, climbing or swimming. But since early, boyhood El has been

an, ardent tap dancer. Even now, when

he seldom, if ever, uses any dance steps in a picture, he practices for an hour or more each day. “It’s'the best exercise in the world,”

the comedian insists. “You get all the i benefits of the various sports people engage in, and it doesn’t take so long. Also, it is an accomplishment, one that' I have often used, especially when i was on the stage.” Tlie'“• JpstJimagine” cast also includes dVlahreen O’Sullivan, John Garrick, Marjorie White, Frank Albertson, Ken. heth Thomson, Hobart Boswortli, Wilfred lificas; Mischa Auer, • Sidney De-and-Iyan Linow.; .
