ROMPER, BOMPER, STOMPER, BOO HOO: Mary Ann King, 70, has been robbed. The
Los Angeles host of the "Romper Room" children's TV show from 1966 to
1976, King had just left a restaurant in Industry, Calif., when she was
accosted in the parking lot. Her purse and another bag were stolen; the
bag contained her "magic mirror" prop from the show. The magic mirror,
actually a frame with nothing inside, was used on the show to allow her
to "see" the audience, calling out the kids' names. After the show
ended, "people would recognize me and say, 'You never said my name',"
King said. "I started carrying the mirror around with me so I could say
their name." She figures the "hoodlums" discarded the prop, not knowing
what it was. (Los Angeles Times) ...That's what happens when the "Don't
Bees" grow up.
