Among the prominent continuing characters were Ace's boss {who had "a child for every occasion"} and Jane's brother Paul {who hadn't worked in twelve years "because he's waiting for the dollar to settle down"}. The theme, as always, was Manhattan Serenade. The Aces, with more than a little justification, were billed as "radio's original comedy couple." Ace was known as "Goody" to his friends. In appearance he was lanky and professorial. Jane looked nothing like her radio self. Pretty, perhaps striking in her youth, she had creamcolored blond hair and an ever-present, infectious smile. She died Nov. 11, 1974. Ace died March 25, 1982.
