...well drawn as the cartoons Walt Disney used to do, but Disney has neglected the field for live films and amusement-park management, and six-year-olds should howl happily at the replacement. The hero is an emetic little monkey (U.S. adapters thoughtfully assigned Crooner Frankie Avalon to provide his voice) who sets "out to conquer the world. Along the way he collects some traveling companions, including a prince, an excellent pig (voice drolly done by Comic Jonathan Winters) and a truly estimable cannibal (voice by Arnold Stang). They meet a succession of blackhearted monsters, all agents of wicked King...
...Crooner Fisher reached the top despite handicaps almost insuperable to a pop singer these days-a cheerful, unassuming personality and a voice that was always pleasant and generally on key. Beginning with his first big record (Thinking of You) in 1950, he turned out 14 straight hits. But rock 'n' roll was already beginning to take over the record business, and soon teen-age fans deserted. Eddie's last big hit record was Oh! My Papa, and it was cut in 1954.

Much of his pleasure comes from wagering on himself. "He'll bet only a dollar or two," says Crooner Bing Crosby, an able golfer and a recent Kennedy opponent at Palm Beach. "But an awful lot of negotiation goes on before the clubs start swinging. He works out the best possible arrangement before he makes a move." Between shots, Kennedy normally appears carefree, needling his partners with sharp quips...
Unconcerned about where the boys were, Notre Dame Senior Ronald Como, 21, chunkier look-alike son of Perry Como, 47, and the crooner's pretty wife Roselle, spent spring vacation with his parents on Florida's Jupiter Island. Father and son characteristically kept aloof from the social-registered regulars of nearby Palm Beach, spent their time digging sand-flea bait and fishing for pompano...
