[78-L] Wing Toy

[David Lennick]

Jones & Hare also did "Hi Lee Hi Lo". And more recently (half a century ago but 
that's still "recent" for our purposes) Buddy Hackett portrayed the Chinese 
Waiter, the Chinese Laundry proprietor and the waiter again for "Chinese Rock 
and Egg Roll", and Orson Bean took us dining in "Americatown".

No George Formby yet? Mr. Wu, what can I do?
