“HAPPILY MARRIED”
JCE E. BROWN KEPT HIS BIG MOUTH SHUT Recd. 7 p.m. Sydney, March 18. When Joe E. Brown, the widemouthed American film comedian, arrived here in continuation of his 20,000 miles entertainment tour throughout United States outposts, he told pressmen he did not want to say who was the prettiest girl in Hollywood because “I have been happily married for 27 years by keeping my big mouth shut about that sort of thing.” When he told a girl reporter it was true that he became a grandfather since he left America last January, he i asked her to “Hush it up a bit because? I really don’t feel that old!” Asked if he had been a good baseball player in the States before he went on the films. Brown remarked that it depended upon how far away he was from -home. “I may even be far enough away now to say It was a very great baseballer back home. But if any report of this is likely to reach America, just quote me as saying 'Yes and no.’ ” _
