Hagen's facial exercises include the Smiling Fish (purse your lips and smile slightly), the Marilyn (blow kisses while keeping your forehead smooth) and the Satchmo (puff out your face and transfer air from cheek to cheek). Lined up in front of the mirror, their fingers pressed into their foreheads and their tongues lolling, the participants looked deranged, but they seemed to be onto something good.

In January 1950 Louis Armstrong, a guest on Bing's radio show, remarked that he had just concluded a tour of Scandinavia. Did you "Skol" much? asked Bing. Satchmo's reply: "I was the skolinest cat in town." Bing loved this exchange so much he cited it in his autobiography "Call Me Lucky" and inserted it as Crosby-Armstrong repartee in "High Society...
