Ted Ray Backs a Loser in a "Double" Event Shopping with Two Wives -- Pity the man who, like poor Ted Ray, radio comedian, who has two wives - one at home and one on the radio. Kitty Bluett (right). Ted's radio wife in "Ray's a laugh" is such good friends with his real wife Sybil that they insist on taking Ted out shopping together. But it is not so lovely for Ted, When you consider the havoc one wife can wreak in a man's pocket-book, just think what two can do. Picture in a London store. April 9, 1951.
