Bob Hope Christmas show at West Point delights cadets
Bob Hope brought his 20th Christmas tour to the U.S. Military Academy field house in West Point for about 8,000 cadets, officers, and civilians. The comedian joked about the Pentagon and Howard Hughes, and a fuse incident sparked a brief outage as his 83 member troupe performed. The TV version will edit the same material into a 90 minute program airing January 14.
