Frank Sinatra was well cast Monday night (21) as the different crooner in
"Wake Up And Live," the Lux Radio Theater play on CBS.The Voice made the
most of his scattered singing opportunities, enhancing the rapid-tempo story
that seemed curiously dated. The Dorothea Brande message ( "act as if it
were impossible to fail" ) was given a fast gloss over as in the picture that
starred Walter Winchell, Alice Faye and the late Ben Bernie. All in all, show
was one of Cecil B, DeMille's lesser efforts.
