Who said 'Good night Mrs. Petticaras, where ever you are' and why?

Barrow boy

For many years Jimmy Durante closed his show with the words 'Good night Mrs Calabash, wherever you are' - this was his catchphrase. The only quote I can find about Mrs Petticaras is from the 1975 film The Wind and the Lion - 'Mrs Petticaras, you are a lot of trouble'. Maybe, the quote also came from the film, but it was certainly a spoof on Jimmy Durante's catchphrase. Oct 30 02, 8:30 PM

Who said, "Swimming's not very good for your shape; have you ever seen a slim walrus?" Quotes: Who said 'You have to make the most of every day, always look forward, have no regrets and learn from the good things and the bad things that happen to you.'? When Jimmy Durante ended a performance he would usually say "Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are." Who was Mrs. Calabash? Who is Mrs Turnbull 1234 1234 1234 1234?
