Its the result of an accident. Scenarists had given Carpenter another name in the picture, but John Scott Trotter, whos Bings broadcast band leader and plays a band leader in the picture, made a long film iake in which he called Carpenter by his real name. It was simpler to change the name than to do the scene over again, Arthur Lakes desire for realism Blondie radio show nearly disrupted the program recently.
