    　　Tony Bennett, the American singer recently touring Britain, can’t remember how many times he had sung his standard hit” I Left My Heart in San Francisco. ”He sang it again to his audience at the London Palladium last night.

    　　“I never get tired of singing it,”he said. “I like it too much. It’s a great city and it’s a good song. ”

    　　Bennett is to record a TV special with American singer Lena Horne while he is here. And a new LP recorded by him in London for Philips titled “Listen Easy” will be published in June.

    　　I like it here, he added quietly over whiskey. I would like to live here so many months of the year.

    　　He already keeps a large flat in Grosvenor Square, where he is staying with his actress wife Sandie Grant and their three-year-old daughter Joanna. It has a studio where he likes to paint. Tony plans to have his first exhibition later in the year and he has already sold one picture for $ 4, 000. At the end of the year Tony is to star in a musical film which has been specially written for him called “Two Bits,” an informal expression for 50 cents. It’s about an Italian immigrant who goes to America, but he becomes a failure.

    　　“In many ways it’s very close to my life the way the story has been written,” said Bennett. “My father, an Italian, was ill and died when I was nine. He always wanted me to sing, but he never lived long enough to be a part of my success. ”

    　　The film is to be made by Italy’s top director Vittoria De Sica.
